Alright so here's the first release of this kernel for codeworkx's CM9 with hardware acceleration.
Again this is for codeworkx's cm9.
Also, this is for codeworkx's cyanogenmod 9.
One more time, this is for cm9 only.
Finally, this is for cm9 and cm9 only!
Don't let the "alpha" title fool you into thinking it's not stable... it is... It's only alpha because it's still in the "testing" phase.

lib/sha1: use the git implementation of SHA-1 and removed ARM sha1 routines
I/O backport from 3.2 linux kernel for less dirty throttling
Tweak CPUIDLE to enter deep sleep faster thus saving battery
LowMemoryKiller backported from 3.4 kernel
Disable GENTLE_FAIR_SLEEPERS for improved performance
Allow Deep Sleep to occur when media decoder is active allowing the cpu to shut off when playing music or video.
Allow MPU logic to power down when in deep sleep to save power.
Increased default readahead value to 1024KB for faster sdcard reads
A lot of stuff I probably forgot I did.
Also includes a ridiculous amount of bugfixes, patches, and tweaks that can found on my github commit log.

DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE, USE SETCPU PROFILES OF ANY KIND OR ANYTHING SIMILAR WITH THIS DEVICE. Things like screen off max frequency, temperature throttling, and others are already built in to the OMAP architecture. Using ANY profiles will ONLY lead to problems, instabilities, and battery drain.
***************
Let me know how it "feels" especially by default without overclocking or underclocking. Also I'd be interested in how the battery treats you. Thanks!

Which boot screen. I think I know the issue if its not the cyanogenmod one.
Sent from my GT-P3113 using xda premium
I have this issue too and it's the Tab2 10.1 screen. (the first one that shows during boot)
It's the Tab 2 Splash screen. I can adb, go into DL, and get into CWM so it's fine... it just won't boot.
Yeah its probably because I forgot to use the 10.1 ramdisk. I'll upload a fixed version shortly.
Sent from my GT-P3113 using xda premium
No worries man.
Thanks for getting started anyway, a lot of devs can use your fork now.
New version up. In addition to some bugfixes and reverts, this time the espresso10 ramdisk is actually used instead of the 7 inch version
Now it installs fine. What app should I use to control it? NSTools, Voltage Control, CPU Master, etc...

Glad to hear it. Let me know how it runs.
Really doesn't matter what you use as they all modify the same sysfs entries. I like no frills CPU control because its simple and only does what I need it to do.
Sent from my GT-P3113 using xda premium
Changing OC settings with NSTools or CPU control causes reboot. Settings don't change.
I can change min freq and governor (tried it with interactive and wheatly), just not max freq.
Works like a charm now. I'll keep you up to date on performance once I've done some testing.
Works fine in voltage control, and stable at 1380 so far with little heat. I haven't really stressed it though but it does run smoother and more responsive than before. The GPU seems snappier too. Great job.

Can you post a complete "feature list" with next version ? Oh, and can Voodoo sound be integrated for better (sound) quality ? I'll keep pressing the thanks button.
Thanks for the kernel, will test it later this day.
Maybe you can add an how to flash guide for the n00bs who want to flash but don't know how to do it?

Hi,
Thank you for work but is what I am to have a problem of hangs and of connection with WIFI
Been testing the kernel with default settings for some hours now ... started using it since 11.oo this morning and started with a full battery. After playing some games (tablet/battery temperature stayed normal) and browsing the net, checking emails and some more stuff i must say the kernel works smooth and my tablet runs faster. Am using the kernel for 3.5 hours and the battery is at 71%. No weird things happened so far. WiFi and bluetooth both work fine in other words...
the kernel feels goOOOood

This is my personal kernel, that I decided to release now. It is extremely lean to minimize memory footprint and optimize perfomance. It is built from HTC official GB sources, with some of bananacakes, siberes, snq-s and my own patches. I intend to keep it at 2.6.35.10, as I see more problems than advantages in upstreaming to newer revisions.
Features:
-Hybrid adaptive voltage scaling (HAVS)
-V(R) i/o scheduler
-TinyRCU
-Overclock up to 1190
-Undervolt
-Ondemand, Virtuous and SmartassV2 governors (I use Virtuous for wake and Ondemand for sleep)
-AXI
-Lowered WiFi voltage
-EXT4 support
-snq-'s Autobrightnessmod (Enable all 10 levels)
-sibere's Battfix
-USB fast charge
-Optional 2 way call recording
-Hardcoded SD Speed Patch to 2048. No need for init script anymore
-Hardcoded highly tweaked Lowmemkiller (3584,4096,8192,20992,23040,25088). Throw away Autokiller and/or init scripts.
To make it more lean, I have disabled EXT2 support. SWAP isn't supported either, as I find it completely useless.
I have added CIFS and TUN as modules. To install, download and extract the file and push it to /system/lib/modules like so:
Code:
adb remount
adb push cifs.ko /system/lib/modules/cifs.ko
adb push tun.ko /system/lib/modules/tun.ko
And add the following line to your modules init script:
Code:
insmod /system/lib/modules/cifs.ko
insmod /system/lib/modules/tun.ko
The kernel comes in 2 flavors. BFS and CFS. Differences between them are here:
BFS - Brain F**k Scheduler
The scheduler essentially handles CPU resource allocation. It controls how the CPU ramps up in frequency and down again when not needed. The BFS version is generally very snappy (possibly more so than CFS) but is an older scheduler. It is designed to minimise latency on low spec'd machines (desktops generally)
Further details here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brain_****_Scheduler
CFS - Completely Fair Scheduler
This particular scheduler is newer than BFS. It is designed to make the best of High end machines (desktops again). In the early days, CFS seemed much laggier than BFS but now there is not too much in it. I am quite happily running a modern CFS kernel and I don't experience any lag issues.
Further details here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Completely_Fair_Scheduler
I am aware that the BFS version throws some errors about 'bad cgroup data' in logcat, I haven't been able to get rid of them. I have disabled everything cgroup related in the kernel, but vm still throws the errors. Don't know why. Doesn't seem to impact performance.
I personally use the BFS version, as I find it somewhat faster than the CFS one. I have absolutely no wake lag, and I get good battery time.
Thanks go out to: snq-, bananacakes, sibere, tobi01001, thalamus, eviollet. If I forgot anyone, pls inform me.
CHANGELOG:
V05:
XZ compression
Fixed Wifi sleep
Tweaked OJ settings for better responsiveness (bananacakes)
Changed ramdisk compression method to gzip.
Rebuilt tun.ko and cifs.ko
v04b:
Fixed WIFI. (My bad. Forgot to adapt install script after including new ramdisk.)
v04:
Added Lowmemkiller tweak to ramdisk (3584,4096,8192,20992,23040,25088) No need for Autokiller or init scripts anymore. Over time I will move more tweaks into the ramdisk to minimize the need for init scripts.
Updated BFS to 0.406
Reverted battery gauge polling to 60 secs.
Added Virtuous governor. Virtuous is a highly tweaked SmartassV2.
Removed Lagfree governor again, as I found OndemandX better.
v03:
Hardcoded SD Speed Tweak to 2048. No need for init script anymore
Made 2-way call recording optional. Check downloads
Reduced battery gauge polling from 60 to 5 secs. (Untested)
A few bits more, can't remember it all.
v02:
Added Lagfree governor. Gives me a wee bit better battery, but sometimes lags when listening to music. Maybe I'll remove it again. Tell me what you think.
Added a minor change from tobi01001 to the lightsensor driver. Details here
Hopefully fixed USB fast charge.
Compiler optimizations

Ondemand:
The ondemand governor is the default option used by Android. It scales the CPU speed between the minimum and maximum speeds depending on CPU load. If the system needs more speed, the kernel will rapidly scale up the CPU speed. This is available in most kernels, and the default governor in most kernels. When the CPU load reaches a certain point, ondemand will rapidly scale the CPU up to meet demand, then gradually scale the CPU down when it isn't needed.
Smartass:
This is based on the concept of the interactive governor. This is included in some custom kernels. The smartass governor effectively gives the phone an automatic Screen Off profile, keeping speeds at a minimum when the phone is idle.
Interactive:
The 'interactive' governor has a different approach. Instead of sampling the cpu at a specified rate, the governor will scale the cpu frequency up when coming out of idle. When the cpu comes out of idle, a timer is configured to fire within 1-2 ticks. If the cpu is 100% busy from exiting idle to when the timer fires then we assume the cpu is underpowered and ramp to MAX speed.
If the cpu was not 100% busy, then the governor evaluates the cpu load over the last 'min_sample_rate' (default 50000 uS) to determine the cpu speed to ramp down to.
This is available in newer kernels, and becoming the default scaling option in some official Android kernels. The interactive governor is functionally similar to the ondemand governor with an even greater focus on responsiveness.

Thanks, I'll be testing this! I've been using snq-'s kernel builds but since the OC/UV ones have freezing problems, and gingercakes won't work for me without MASSIVE lag, I look forward to seeing how this works out.

[How to] Adjust auto-brightness on GB Sense ROM
beanbean50 said:

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
You can't find it anywhere, you need to patch your own framework. The framework apk differs for each ROM, and contains each individual user's UOT kitchen mods too... So to be safe, you really shouldn't use someone else's framework.
Anyway, here's how to do it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=17713587
It's pretty easy, as long as you know where your ROM's framework apk is (in internal /system, or in /sd-ext). Also, the thread suggest you put your framework mod in a flashable zip, but it's easier to just boot in recovery, and use adb to remove your old framework and push the new one.
This is the restarted thread of my ICS Kernel
-
Codename Harmony
Current features are the following (more will follow) :
EVERY firmware avaiable is supported ! This means you can use my kernel on every ASUS-based roms like Revolver, Frozn or ARHD, but also on AOKP, CM9 Nightlies, Megatron, EOS, CNA, TEAMGUMMY, and all other AOSP-based roms out there.
Full 3G support on roms which support 3G
Stable Overclock up to 1.6 GHz
Stable GPU - Overclock ! -- Better 2D and 3D performance !
This is a HV (HighVoltage) Kernel. This means voltages are increased, but I use lower voltages than guevor does.
Extended File System support : Full CIFS, JFS, XFS, NTFS and REISERFS Support inbuilt in the kernel - no need for modules !
Added back missing powersave governor. This is nothing useful other than setting up profiles in setcpu, powersave governor for "screen off" profile does make much sense here.
Added Deadline I/O Scheduler for fancy testing.
Added Simple I/O Scheduler for ultimate I/O performance.
Readahead tweak for massive I/O performance boost.
Added minmax, wheatly, intellidemand, lagfree, smartassv2 governors.
That's it for now. You shall know I'm always open for user's request and will do my best to implement things from your wishlist if others and I do approve.
Changelog
Code:
[COLOR=Red][B]#FINAL[/B][/COLOR]
[LIST]
[*]Governor improvements - SmartAssv2 fully fixed !
[*]VooDoo sound added
[*]Countless overall improvements and code updates
[*][B]Remember : [/B]Downloads are now at my GITHUB !
[/LIST]
[COLOR=Red][B]UNIVERSE - Branch :[/B][/COLOR]
[LIST]
[*]Revision 1 (rev01) : Added support for all roms avaiable to our beloved transformers. WiFi should work on all versions now, including CM9 Nightlies, which was a huge hassle. 3G support is now added for use with roms, that support 3G ! Kernel Modules like NTFS, CIFS, File Systems, etc. are now all inbuilt, so you don't need to insmod anything. That's why my update.zps are so small - There are hardly any modules to copy over to system. Only NTFS automount is missing on CM9 for now, as it's a bit more complex, but it will be fixed in Revision 2; all other versions should work.
[/LIST]
[LIST]
[*]Revision 3 (rev03) : Improved overall stability, fixed misformed memory management, 3g enabled on all versions now, aosp kernel uses slightly lower voltage than asus one.
[/LIST]
[COLOR=Red][B]RELEASE - CANDIDATE Branch[/B][/COLOR]
[LIST]
[*]RC1 :
Completely recoded from scratch.
Based on 9.2.2.6 Asus Kernel Source.
Yet the biggest fixes to governors ever made by me.
Intellidemand governor fully fixed, smartassv2 is now somewhere near-stable.
Fixes to clocks and voltages, no more freeze at 1.2 GHZ.
FINALLY, GPU overclocking ! (--> stable !)
Tweaked SIO scheduler, now working perfectly on our device.
Readahead tweak for massive I/O performance boost.
Added in new CIFS and NTFS modules directly integrated into the kernel.
Revamped the updater script; more eye candy over here.
Other small changes and fixes to asus code.
[*]RC2 :
Recoded the voltage table, giving more juice to the gpu unit, raised read ahead value. Added CIFS and XFS modules kernel-builtin, will release the modules seperately for you to insmod once I rebuild with CIFS and etc. modular. IMPORTANT : IF THE KERNEL DOESN'T BOOT, HOLD DOWN POWER UNTIL IT REBOOTS. IF IT STILL DOESN'T BOOT, DO THE SAME AGAIN. IT WILL BOOT, TRUST ME.
[/LIST]
[COLOR=Red][B] BETA - Branch :[/B][/COLOR]
[LIST]
[*]BETA5 : initial public upload, after +- 20 hours of testing.
[*]BETA6 : added hotplug governor, added simple I/O scheduler,improved governors and cpu driver + deep sleep code.
[*]BETA7 : removed hotplug governor, caused me and the kernel headaches. Fully fixed the minmax governor, you should choose it as it delivers the best battery life at maximum performance. Lowered voltages, improved battery life and optimized sleep codes once again to get the maximun out of our battery life. Changed kernel versioning system, because of this build number has started at #0 again, is now #2 on BETA7. Also I added some suspending code, you should have no more deep sleep /RR with my kernel from BETA7 on.
[*]BETA8 : Using a new kernel config that fixes the random hangings. Excluded the 'smartassv2' governor for now, will include again in BETA 9, when it's fixed again. Improved SIO I/O scheduler, fixes to cpufreq and block.
[*]BETA-X : Massive fixes to governors, added some new (wheatly, lag free, intellidemand). Optimised voltages, increased frequency bus on overclock. Massive improvements on stability, more reliable in all situations. Improvements on battery life.

giving the kernel a run out now......smartassv2 with noop is blazing for web browsing! works pretty awesome with smartass and deadline aswell.
tried to change to interactive with noop and the tf locked up and i had to force a reboot......il see if i have logcat and post it up.
Will this work with AOKP? I think build 38 switched to the nl80211 wifi driver and the wifi won't work on custom kernels.

Yeah, I encountered this as well, but I couldn't see any kernel panic in this, might be something else.
My next goal ist to port the linux 3.4 kernel, as they already included android source code in the mainline branch. Thsi would take the kernel to the next level.
But most of my worktime still goes into this kernel

You're absolutely right. Everything will work fine except for wifi. If more users want this, I will make a aokp version with different wifi driver.
I think a CM9 AOKP version would be very popular. I don't think there any custom kernels for those roms and all the ones based off them.
+1.......the Cm9 builds like Skank etc could do with some loving

Did you try some cm9 rom with my kernel ?
I'm not aware of them having changed the wifi driver to something other than bcmhd...ko , in other wirds, asus stock.
Correct me if I'm wrong.
I'm on a trip the next days, so I will be able to continue work on this kernel let's say.. next tuesday if everything goes well. Just tell me which wifi driver to use and I will compile it
ok ive just tried Skang (cm9) and Gummy (aosp/cm9) with the kernel and neither connect to wifi. also when i tried to change the cpu speed with the baked in cpu controller i found they auto reverted back to 1000mhz with interactive and would not stick on 1200mhz or the selected guvenor.
I'll ask the respective devs what may be required to fix.
thanks for the work..i'm not going to test it due to stocked tf before assistance centre sending,but when i'll receive back my tablet,i'd love to be able to try this kernel...for my taste,i'd love to see wheatley governor inside..for me it's a very efficent governor.think about that mate.cheers and keep up the hard work!
A little update in the meantime : Beta6 is ready, added fully working sio-scheduler and hotplug governor. There is a bug because of which hotplug gov is rebooting instantly after being woken up from deep sleep.
More changes are :
Improved smartassv2 governor, working almost perfectly now !
Improved minmax governor. Ths does now work, but actually needs some further love from me, I think.
Will update the thread next week, along with Beta7.
Beta6 currently avaiable at : http://db.tt/XSK0na2Y
What about version for AOKP? All kernel brake wifi on b38
Seems like I miss my own deadline. Beta7 will be avaiable in a few minutes.
Random governor lockup while changing in setcpu or nofrills etc. should be fixed now.
I also improved all governors balancing and fully fixed the minmax governor.
Added sio scheduler to get the best I/O performance possible.
I will have a look on an AOKP and CM9 version with enhanced wifi drivers next week. Stay tuned !
Hi and thanks for your work.
Here's my experience with BETA7
TF101 b50, always docked with microsd always inserted
rom: revolver 4 rc2, kernel: harmony beta7
I tried your kernel after a long time using guevor's v20, because v20 gave me SOD after 3-4 days of normal operation.
I just wiped cache and dalvik, and then flashed beta7. It seemed to work smooth enough - had some stuttering in Modern Combat3, but that went away after a few minutes of playing.
The major problem was that it just RR while i was in a fring video call. Talking, as usual and then just bam! speakers started making this weird clicking noise for 1-2 seconds, video froze, and my tablet rebooted. This never happened before - i actually didn't have the RR problem even on stock rom+kernel.
I decided to test it overnight, only to wake up and see it rebooted again. It wasn't charging, it was only docked.
The good thing was that battery consumption was good ~1% per hour, with wi-fi on. It goes into deep-sleep, but also, before it does that, it does some random wake-ups.
So here's a summary of MY experience with BETA7 kernel
PRO's:
- no SOD
- good battery life (~1%/hour with wi-fi on, in deep sleep)
CON's:
- Random Reboots
- some random wake-ups
- some stuttering in 3d apps that seems to be loading-related
I'll be going back to guevor's, but i'll definitely keep an eye on this one.
Sorry, i didn't think of saving any kernel logs...
Keep up the good work!
Kernel based on Asus 9.2.2.4 ?
Hi,
is your kernel based on the Asus 9.2.2.4 stock kernel?
Because I've a TF101G 3G model and this the only kernel wich is stable (for about a week no RR or SOD's at all) on this tablet version while using Wifi and 3G functionalities.
BTW I'm using ARHD 3.3.1_3G rom.
I would like overclock it but this is not supported which the stock kernel.
Many thanks in advange.

Random reboots are definately rom - related, try ARHD rom, has been the bost rom ever for our transformer, I always put my trust in it. Revolver is halfway abandoned, outdated and not frequently updated.
Random wake-ups are rom related, too. I do not encounter any of your errors, sorry.
Maybe if you could get me a kernel message (kmsg, google it) , I could help you.

Kernel is based on 9.2.1.24 . I haven't found any newer source on the asus site, but you may redirect me to it, then I will use it.
This kernel no longer works with current CM10/AOKP ROMS - PLEASE DO NOT USE
PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE POST THOROUGHLY BEFORE PROCEEDING...
This is a customized kernel built from SGH-I727 (aka Skyrocket) source code. This ROM has all the fixes from CyanogenMod & Team Chopsticks tree along with some other stuff.
It's very simple to install.
Ensure you've already installed a working ROM
Install Zip from CWM.
Wipe both caches (just to be safe)
Reboot
FSync Control - Courtesy of Ezekeel
FSync Control which can be used to disable the fsync system calls for single files and filesystems (echo 0 > /sys/class/misc/fsynccontrol/fsync_enabled). These fsync syscalls are used by kernel modules and user space programs to flush an I/O buffer (which is in RAM) to disk to make sure that this data is actually savely stored on the disk before executing the next step. Disabling fsync can result in data loss on a crash/freeze since the data is still in the I/O buffer and has not been saved to disk as it should be and can also lead to problems due to race conditions if two or more processes access the same file. On the other hand disabling fsync reduces the number of I/O operations which potentially could reduce the battery drain and also improve I/O performance.

Governors
Wheatley Governor - Courtesy of Ezekeel
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/14685-kernel27-jul-glados-v20-for-jb/page__st__90__p__405813#entry405813
Badass (default)
Badass removes all of this "fast peaking" to the max frequency. On a typical system the cpu won't go above 1080Mhz and therefore use less power. To trigger a frequency increase, the system must run a bit @ 1080MHz with high load, then the frequency is bumped to 1350MHz. If that is still not enough the governor gives you full throttle. (this transition should not take longer than 2-5 seconds, depending on the load your system is experiencing).
You can tweak the Phase 2 (1080MHz) and Phase 3 (1350MHz) via sysfs (if you don't know, then just leave it alone).
NOTE: Due to it's nature, this is not a benchmark governor. It is meant as a governor that gives you a smooth experience while saving battery.
InteractiveX
Created by kernel developer "Imoseyon," the InteractiveX governor is based heavily on the Interactive governor, enhanced with tuned timer parameters to better balance battery vs. performance. The InteractiveX governor's defining feature, however, is that it locks the CPU frequency to the user's lowest defined speed when the screen is off.
Lazy
This governor from Ezekeel is basically an ondemand with an additional parameter min_time_state to specify the minimum time CPU stays on a frequency before scaling up/down. 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.
GPU Overclocking
GPU is stock clocked at [email protected] & [email protected] (default).
Example: To increase maximum GPU frequency in 3D mode to 320 MHz:
echo 320000000 > /sys/devices/platform/kgsl-3d0.0/kgsl/kgsl-3d0/max_gpuclk
Example: To increase maximum GPU frequency in 2D mode to 266 MHz:
echo 266667000 > /sys/devices/platform/kgsl-2d0.0/kgsl/kgsl-2d0/max_gpuclk
echo 266667000 > /sys/devices/platform/kgsl-2d1.1/kgsl/kgsl-2d1/max_gpuclk
Available frequencies:
3D: 320000000, 300000000, 266667000, 228571000, 200000000, 177778000, 27000000
2D: 266667000, 228571000, 200000000
Kernel-based MPDecision
100% kernel-based multi-core decision! (should cpu1 be online or not?)
This replaces your /system/bin/mpdecision binary which is disabled by the CWM flashable.
Check /sys/kernel/msm_mpdecision/conf/ for the configuration.
startdelay = time until mpdecision starts doing it's magic (70000)
delay = time between checks (500)
pause = if something else plugs in the cpu, fall asleep for 10000
scroff_single_core = if the screen is off, don't plug in cpu1 (1)
nwns_threshold_up = runqueue threshold, if this is reached cpu1 will be hotplugged (35)
nwns_threshold_down = runqueue threshold, if this is reached cpu1 will be unplugged (5)
twts_threshold_up = time threshold, this amount of time must have passed (250)
twts_threshold_down = same as above (250)
enabled = enable(1) or disable(0) mpdecision. This does not affect scroff_single_core!
(all times are in ms)

Governor scripts
NOTE: Not needed for v6.0.2 or v6.2 and beyond
These scripts will set the CPU0 & CPU1 governors correctly. Using a tool like System Tuner only sets CPU0 to the selected governor, but leaves CPU1 running the default. This was the only way I found to ensure both CPUs had the correct governor set. Basically this overwrites your init.qcom.post_boot.sh script with one that sets both CPUs to the same governor.

Hello,
Let me introduce a kernel that I've been using every day. Despite the name which is me, the actual developer of this kernel is aatjitra, so please thank him. Since he is using N7105 and for ease of reports, we decided to make a separate thread for the International Samsung Galaxy Note II GT-N7100 model. So it is me that will maintain this thread for N7100. Of course with the help of him to answer questions.
For GT-N7105 model, please visit the original thread here
* WARNING *This kernel is only for stock ROM or TW Based custom ROM!DWYOR - Do With Your Own Risk!!!
TerraBuzz kernel is created for Samsung Galaxy Note 2 that will suits daily usage. There is no cutting edge and fancy development for this kernel as it's made as close as stock kernel based on source code provided by Samsung. Only cherrypick modification/enhancement from other developers to be implemented in this kernel. This kernel is fast, stable, and battery friendly. All tweaks and modifications are carefully tested to ensure great performance without compromising Galaxy Note II standard features.
Some unnecessary debug and log is also removed to make this kernel as light as possible.

You have to be rooted
Install it using your preferred custom recovery
Reboot the phone
Enjoy the smoothness!
If you're coming from previous version (ex: PR2.5 and up):
- Open STweak and go to 'Extras' and tap 'Reset settings to default'. The apps will close by itself and let it be.
- Open Root Explorer or any file explorer with root access, go to folder /data and delete the folder .terratweak
- Download kernel that match your device type and save it to internal/external storage card on your phone.
- Flash the kernel via TWRP or CWM.
- Reboot and let it stay for a while or until the icon 'checking sd card for error' is gone.
- Open STweak and now you will see a control tab for SCREEN

Here are some screenshots collected from some of our users in the development of this kernel using various ROMs. Please use it as reference only, actual experience and results may differ.
TerraBuzzQ CPU Governor (Suspended)
I tried a few CPU governor which can suit my preferences that will turn off CPU core if the load is light to save battery.
And I come to LulzactiveQ by Tegrak that initially I think this is suitable for me. Nobody is using this governor for Note 2 and I dare myself to try it on my own.
Later on, I modified the source code for LulzactiveQ to remove some parts that I don't need and create my own logic for this cpu governor.
There are 3 thresholds for CPU load:
High Threshold = 100%
Up Threshold = 60%
Down Threshold = 30%
If CPU load = High Threshold (CPU Load = 100%)
CPU scaling per 200 MHz until it reaches maximum frequency 1600 MHz.
If Up Threshold < CPU Load <= High Threshold (CPU Load between 61% and 99%)
CPU scaling per 100 MHz until it reaches 1400 MHz and stop at that point.
If Down Threshold < CPU Load < Up Threshold (CPU Load between 31% and 60%)
CPU scaling per 100 MHz until it reaches 1200 MHz and stop at that point.
If CPU Load <= Down Threshold (CPU Load less than 30%)
CPU down to lowest frequency 200 MHz.
By this logic, TerraBuzzQ Governor suits my daily usage pattern and tested by beta tester team. The result is great battery life and no lag encounter in heavy game such as Real Racing 3.
Finally, it's available in XDA...
Best kernel i've tried so far.. Battery friendly yet very smooth...
Thank you for helping me TerraBuzz...

does it support CRT off animation, that it stopped after flashing this amazing kernel,
not a big issue compared to its smoothness

Gona try this kernel. Been using neak kernel for sometime and its really good. But whenever I start to play games such as real racing, I get huge battery drain. Duno if its normal or its really a kernel prob. xD anyway will try this one and report back.

This kernel is a combination of SmartPack/Boeffla-Venom Samsung Galaxy S5 Lineage OS kernel, with some tweaks and additions from around the net. I have decided that since SmartPack was EOL and with sunilpaulmathews ok, I would just combine our two kernels (since fbs has Boeffla-Kernels covered) to make it easier for me to maintain his work and my own.

One More For Good Measure
YES.!!!!
sdfat code have syntax errors, aren't even compiling here.. humm
ok, fixed it and stealed it
Thanks for ur good kernel. Flashed on haggertk android pie no problem so far. At first I was getting random reboots,it caused by my magisk modules. I disable them and the problem fix. Thanks again.
LKT magisk module on this kernel cause random reboots.
Thanks for your work
So I popped over to this thread you linked to from the Venom thread and want to make sure I'm clear. This kernel (Ares-Kernel) should not be used on a Resurrection Nougat based ROM? I think that Resurrection Nougat ROM is a Lineage 14 based ROM, correct? Or even though it is Lineage 14 based, can the Areas-Kernel still be used because it is based off Lineage.
Thanks for any clarification. Left this post in other thread to just to make sure I got it in right spot. Disregard which ever one is posted in wrong spot. Thanks.
awesome dude!!! thank you so much! i'm really glad that someone continues the smart-pack kernel!
:laugh: big, Big, BIG Thank you @The~Skater~187! Really appreciate your effort and dedication in helping to keep this old phone alive and competitive! :highfive:
Hey, good work mate!
Thanks for it, we were orphan but you came and adopted us, LOL, kidding.
Just some thoughts on it.
I've found that, on thermal tab, vd restriction cant be disabled while core control is enabled. That used to happen on smartpack kernel but sunil get rid of it, maybe he can help. They are not made to be active together and can make the phone super slow and prone to crashes when it gets hot and they both kick in.
I also couldn't help to notice it's using my efficiency profile as defaults (on signature), and it's awesome, they work great don't they? Haha. I assume you grabbed it with the smartpack source code, since sunil's kernel used my profile as defaults.
There are some things that are outdated thought, specially page-cluster should be back to 0 on virtual memory as it is also prone to failures (apps don't working properly, like, a black screen without responses, based on my experiences) and crashes, min_sample_time is 0 and should be 40000 (one of the interactive governor tunables), which is an overlook by myself on an early release of my profile but fixed on the latest one already. I would recommend this small changes on the defaults, as well as the tunable io_is_busy 0 to let multicore power saving disabled.
I'm glad that you're also using it but I would also like to ask proper credits for it, I know, is not code, but demanded me months of studying and testing to get it almost where I wanted! There's a little history on the thread on my signature.

I do apologize about the credit issue, I thought I had put your name in the acknowledgment section right before ktoonsz last night, as I noticed your name on a few of the files in the RamDisk. I will definitely straighten that out and thank you for pointing that out. You are correct, I so far have just synced SmartPack source, then started applying things from my other kernel for now. I wanted to get something up-to-date and stable out for you guys before I started diving deeper into other kernel related things.
As for the rest of your suggestions, I will look into them for sure. Feel free to p.m. me with any thoughts or other suggestions.

Many thanks!
On other news, I was getting some random reboots, and found out that it was because of my undervolt settings. It's super weird, because they never gave me any problems since 3~4 months with the smartpack kernel, and it should be a setting particular to my specific device/cpu, and have the same limits across any kernel. I used the same across lots of roms, and different versions of smartpack, for nougat, oreo and pie, so, I hope you can see why I find this very weird.
But, I don't know if it's actually a 'bug', I will find some time to fine tune it, raise some voltages to see where I can go with Ares kernel without crashing. For now I'm using the default voltages.

I did do a bit of an overhaul on the voltage table when I added the higher oc steps, due to the fact that on my other kernel lower voltages stock we're causing problems and random freezes.
Sent from my kltespr using Tapatalk
Yeah, I'm sure you know, undervolting need to be done step by step, making sure the lowest you can go, device specific, so risking repeating myself, same voltages should probably 99,99% of the time works across any kernel/rom on a given device. I don't think it is the undervolt anymore.
It took a while but I still had some reboots with default voltage, once I was finally able to press up and home right after it, so it rebooted directly to TWRP and I copied the last_kmsg, it's attached, all configs were on default. I hope it helps to find out what it may be.
I'm back on smartpack for now, cause the same setup and profile runs without no problems, so I think it should not be a problem just on my end, is it? Anybody else?
Fun fact, I was are able to dirty install smartpack kernel over ares and vice-versa and it detected and updated itself without any problems.

@The~Skater~187 edit: oh, I just noticed, there's no option to input 268 MHz voltage. My voltages are getting placed on the wrong frequency because of that, found the problem!
I recovered the backup I just made before installing the kernel, I had installed the shushified bootleggers 3.0 on top of the unshushified 3.0, they are the same rom except for official (shushified) status, but anyway, that may be the cause of some of my problems, adding up to the 268 missing voltage that was overlooked by me.
After that I installed Ares kernel again with no undervolt and gone to sleep. Woke up today, and no reboots, then I was trying to test undervolting it and found out about the missing 268 voltage, so every previous voltage I used was getting used on 1 clock step above, so, not enough power for sure.
Just put my exactly same volts on their correspondent freq and no reboots until now!
It also seems that Core Control is staying enabled and VD Restrictions is disabled correctly now too. So, if you experience the same you may disregard it as well.
Thanks for this!!
Great so far, this with Pie ROMs is the best battery life I've had since stock.
4-5 hours sot, 7h active, 12h idle..(gsam stats) on this original 2800mah. I've gone from 4-5 charges a day to 1-2.
And kernel brightness control keeps the flickers away.
Edit: did notice both vdd and core thermals being active, didn't cause any overheating/reboots (i often run cpu info as overlay) but I stuck with core control only to be safe. It doesn't stick after reboot.

Yeah, after some further analysis, I came to find out exactly the same.
After a reboot both VDD and CC come back up, and I have to do a little dance, like, disable vdd and cc, enable intellithermal, then enable only cc, or something like that, then it will stick with only cc until the next reboot.
Ok, so I decided I'm going keep an "unofficial" SmartPack kernel going (nothing more than source updates will be applied) as well as my off shoot kernel project. I will have it available for you guys tomorrow evening.
