12-27-2015

  • V.1.2.1
  • Lot of changes/improve to decrease load average
  • Improve touch boost for some custom governors.
  • Reduce/improve a lot of wakelock
  • Implement fast idling of CPUs when the system is partially loaded (With this patch, we tested with a netperf request/response workload that has the server busy with half the cpus in a 4 socket system. We found the patch eliminated 75% of the load balance attempts before idling a cpu)
  • Improve row I/O scheduler
  • CPU general improves
  • Prevent init process enforcing selinux
  • Enable UID_CPUTIME (Adds accounting for the cputimes per uid.) This pack included some improvements for CPU, Power, deep sleep and CPU frequency handle.

  • Included default VT and VoLTE flags on init script
  • Minor updates so the kernel can keep up with the changes on the ROM's

This version pack all the modules generated by the kernel this enable me to do much more changes and keep the kernel stable, I didn't make changes to the modules before, so after using this kernel the users can't downgrade to V1.2.0 and under just by flashing the kernel is necessary to flash the ROM, gapps and any other zip the user use then flash a old version of the Kernel. On future updates when downgrade to V 1.2.1 and up will not be necessary do re-flash the ROM.

So make a backup before flash this.

12-24-2015

  • V.1.2.0
  • Low Brightness at boot (bootlogo and boot animation), using now 1/4 of max value, the device uses max Brightness possible at boot really unnecessary, as this generates a lot of heat and power draw.
  • Fix Memory Low power mode (implemented on V1.0.7 was not working properly)
  • Set selinux to permissive, to prevent selinux blocking features like volte, Bluetooth and others. Selinux can be change via kernel auditor plugin. There is the chance that the ROM will force set selinux to enforcing, so if have problems or bugs check that and try to change to permissive
  • Clean the kernel disabel some unused module, and removing compilations warnings.
  • Minor updates so the kernel can keep up with the changes on the ROM.

12-13-2015

  • V.1.1.9
  • Linux 3.10.94 Update
  • Auto brightness improves
  • Minor updates so the kernel can keep up with the changes on the ROM's

12-09-2015

  • V.1.1.8
  • Set max frequency throttle temp to 65°c, as intellitermal is aggressive set this to +5°c from the default (60°c) so the boot process when flashing many things dont take too long or hang, because intellitermal throttling down the clock. This can be edited by the user on the kernel apk, in case you think is too much, I advice that after set to 60°c or lower.
  • Improve reboot support...
  • Cpufreq_Gov Alucard update to v3.0
  • Set user voltage control min voltage to 550mV (use it wisely, to little can make the device random reboot).
  • CPU optimizations.
  • Minor updates so the kernel can keep up with the changes on the ROM's

12-03-2015

  • V.1.1.7
  • Included cid 0x0 for verizon XT1254.

  • Enable tcp fast open functionality by default.
  • LOAD_FREQ (4*HZ+61) avoids loadavg Moire. http://ripke.com/loadavg/moire
  • Remove + symbol from kernel version string end, only visual dont change a ting to the kernel.
  • Minor updates so the kernel can keep up with the changes on the ROM's

11-28-2015

  • V.1.1.6
  • Include the changes to support XT1254 and XT1250 made by CM dev

11-27-2015

  • V.1.1.5
  • Remove Power Suspend to better support zzmoove, zzmoove has built in features to PowerSuspend and they may conflict.
  • Zzmoove improves.
  • Minor CPU and GPU improves.
  • Included the latest changes of CM12.1 kernel tree.
  • Minor updates so the kernel can keep up with the changes on the ROM's

11-20-2015

  • V.1.1.4
  • Included new optimizations flags (this flags bring minor optimizations to the compilation process that give a minor % of improve on overall performance and or battery duration)
  • Add more CPU GOV's:
  • Impulse (An improved version of interactive modified by neobuddy89. Impulse aims to have a balance between battery and performance just like interactive but has some tweaks to save battery)
  • Alucard (A favourite choice and one of the original governors that Alucard_24 made. Alucard is based on ondemand but has been heavily tweaked to bring better battery life and performance. It has been known to be battery friendly without sacrificing much performance.)
  • Barry-Allen (It's based on interactive. The governor is supposed to be more battery friendly and at the same have good performance.)
  • Dance Dance (Based on conservative with some smartass features, it scales accordingly to conservatives laws. So it will start from the bottom, take a load sample, if it's above the upthreshold, ramp up only one speed at a time, and ramp down one at a time. It will automatically cap the off screen speeds to 245Mhz, and if your min freq is higher than 245mhz, it will reset the min to 120mhz while screen is off and restore it upon screen awakening, and still scale accordingly to conservatives laws. So it spends most of its time at lower frequencies. The goal of this is to get the best battery life with decent performance. It is a performance focused governor but also blends with some battery savings.)
  • Bioshock (Not the game, but rather the CPU governor developed by Jamison904. A mix of ConservativeX and Lionheart. Good balance between battery savings and performance.)
  • Lionheart (Lionheart is a conservative-based governor which is based on samsung's update3 source. 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.
  • ZZmoove Check next post for how to use this.(The ZZmoove Governor by ZaneZam is optimized for low power consumption when the screen off, with particular attention to the limitation of consumption applications in the background with the screen off, such as listening to music. The unique feature with ZZmoove is that it has predefined profiles and allows profile switching.)
  • Full CPU_GOV and Kernel etc descriptions
  • Intellithermal improvments
  • Minor updates to Drivers/CPU files so that the new CPU_GOV package works.
  • Minor updates so the kernel can keep up with the changes on the ROM's.

  • Minor updates so the kernel can keep up with the changes on the ROM's.

11-05-2015

  • V.1.1.2
  • CPU over clock 2841Mhz and 2880 MHz (This is probably the maximum overclock I'll release)
  • Frequency table adjustment: *Reduce the maximum current for each frequency. (less power use, less heat and more battery) *CPU voltages FIX this fix a bug of some frequency using too much voltage, there is a simple mathematics involving voltage VS frequency and I have corrects all tables (if your device is not using the default table of second post, try a Data clean of kernel app and reboot, if that doesn't help try a clean install, if you don't wanna to do that just set the voltage by hand) Some devices will use different table is normal there is 32 different frequency VS voltage table. *CPU frequency VS RAM frequency adjustment (it CPU frequency is connected to a RAM frequency, I better adjust the table to the low CPU frequency to be bound to a low RAM frequency, Medium to medium and High to high) Before some Low CPU was using medium RAM, and medium was using high that creates a unnecessary battery discharge.
  • Minor updates so the kernel can keep up with the changes on the ROM's.
  • GCC compiler update and optimized to support android M (not really necessary right now, doesn't bring any noticeable improve to the kernel today, but is good to know that the compiler is ready and optimized for M).
