how to improve user performance on android phones
June 28th, 2010
I am not responsible if you mess your phone up. Seriously.
Connect to your phone with adb shell, then:
$ su
# mount -o remount,rw /system
# echo 'kernel.sched_latency_ns = 600000' >> /etc/sysctl.conf
# echo 'kernel.sched_min_granularity_ns = 400000' >> /etc/sysctl.conf
# echo 'kernel.sched_features = 24188' >> /etc/sysctl.conf
# mount -o remount,ro /system
# sysctl -p
The Output should be...
kernel.sched_latency_ns = 600000
kernel.sched_min_granularity_ns = 400000
kernel.sched_features = 24188
# exit
$ exit
Now your phone will behave a lot better. To explain what those settings do:
Changing sched_features to 24188 disables some annoying CFS features (GENTLE_FAIR_SLEEPERS and NORMALIZE_SLEEPERS) that are stupid even on the desktop. The other two crank the timeslice length down to 0.6ms/0.4ms.
What about BFS you say? Well BFS does not appear to perform very well on Android, and Android’s legitimate use of cgroups does not work on BFS. However, the settings that the sysctls above change make CFS behave a lot more like BFS.
What does this mean?
This means that all the hype about JIT in Android 2.2 being the biggest possible source of performance improvement is a load of crap. JIT will improve CPU-bound tasks, but it will not improve the interactivity of the underlying OS, which is what people are really complaining about.
I mean, my (nenolods) Milestone is actually usable now. It’s 550mhz and it has absolutely no problems keeping up with the Incredible’s 1000mhz CPU. Just think about that. The HTC’s CPU is being put to waste due to the way that the scheduler allocates timeslices. If you disable the GENTLE_FAIR_SLEEPERS option, CFS becomes a very good scheduler for android, as it allows for sub-1ms timeslice deadlines.
Dont expect for your benchmarks to change drastically, if at all. However I do notice that my slide-to-unlock is basically instant now. No lag whatsoever there.
I should also mention that I am on JT's 11/13 nonvoodoo kernel. Smooth as butter...

this or you could just add
kernel.sched_latency_ns = 600000
kernel.sched_min_granularity_ns = 400000
kernel.sched_features = 24188
to your existing sysctl.conf and push it to /etc right?
i currently have this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=814463
EDIT:
just added it, rebooted and it does seem a bit smoother. just a bit tho. im running the latest stupidfast kernel
I don't know what is meant by the phone will run better but I did linpack quadrant and speed pi tests before and after this mod with no change in the averages as well as scrolling through websites that have quite a bit of content is much slower such as scrolling through xda developers site as well as engadget. Its clear from at least a practical standpoint this mod does nothing to make your phone run any better.

its the UI that runs smoother. benchmarks dont change
Doesnt really matter. If it requires cfs (being that its disabling cfs features), none of y'all are noticing anything but placebo effects.
If it works for other schedulers, great.
However, currently our kernels (Im sure geeknik's too) only have:
anticipatory
deadline (default on JT's latest kernel and maybe earlier)
noop
bfq
cfq
If CFS is in the kernel, its not compiled for it. I'd have to look closer, and I don't have time to boot to Linux at this moment.

I'm guessing his latest. But When I ran the code against his newest one, the output wasn't the same as when I ran it against his 11/13 test kernel. which was before he added a variation of this same edit, permanently, to his newest kernel on github.
I apologize about my post earlier. All I ever do is try to help people (you can look through my posts to confirm) and I guess I got a little upset that I posted something that may or may not be helpful to everyone. The code ran through fine, so I assumed it worked. I tried it on other phones/kernels, and it wouldnt work. So when it worked on this one, I decided to post it for others to try out and report back. But its hard to get feedback when someone is clouding the thread all up saying its a placebo effect.
I just wanted others input who have actually tried to run it, not just assume it doesnt work.
Hope that explains...

Gotta read closely. I said IF it relies on cfs and it's not in the kernel, then it is placebo.
I have verified cfs is not in my kernel, which is dated 11/13.

Downloading now. Any notable differences over your eb16 kernel?
Hi Adrynalyne!
Just installed. Everything's looking good so far. Will need more time with it though. Thanks.
Installing now. Hopefully no explosions =P
EDIT: I've played with it for 5 or 10 minutes now. Seems quite nice. I'll test the battery and all that fun stuff tomorrow.
Thanks adrynalyne.

I wiped both caches (dalvik+ regular) and then flashed right over EB16. No issues here.
I don't know about the monitoring dummy kernel but I'd be surprised if it wasn't in here.

You should be fine flashing over eb16 but adrynalyn would have said they have the dummy file if they did. Plus they are very new (ec10 is code for march 10th 2011), so I doubt they have any mods yet.

They have the dummy file.
There, I made you honest.
Not that it matters, but for those interested Quadrant scores (voodoo):
1470, 1593, 1659, 1641
So don't use your precious Quadrants as a reason to not install this
So an average quadrant of 1600??

Description:
It does mostly everything EB16 does, in mostly the same way.
Unfortunately, Verizon isn't nice enough to include a changelog in their leaked beta internal release software.
There seems to be a misunderstanding about what happens when stock beta kernels are leaked. Maybe people are coming from devices that have custom compiled kernels, where the kernel dev actually helped modify the source code. In this case, yes, a dev will know most everything about said kernel.
This is not the case with leaked stock kernels (or any leaked data). The person who posts the leaked data is rarely an active part of development with the pre-compiled source code. They usually can only see exactly what you see: a compiled binary file. They usually install them on their phone, do some general testing to make sure basic functionality is intact, then they give them to the public.
That's where the public comes in. There are virtually infinite amounts of configurations on everyones' phones. The leaker usually only has one phone. If they are thorough, they MAY test it in a few different environments. Everyone has something unique about their set up or something that they really care about and notice about the behavior of their phone. However, no dev or even a small group of beta testers have the time or resources to test every single application/configuration/feature.
On top of this, the public wants immediate leaks ("You've been running something newer than me?! I WANT IT NOW"). They want the bleeding edge, without any of the bleeding edge problems. This creates a conflict between someone sitting on a leak for too long vs. thoroughly testing a kernel.
So if that's too long of a story, or I haven't made myself clear, I offer this summary: You are the beta testers. You are the changelog writers. You find out the description of features. The leaker merely leaks. Someone who actually cares a bit about public safety/performance (like Adryn) will take an additional step and optimize/mod/lightly test. But after that, the public is just one giant test group, and this is the way it is supposed to be.
If that scares anyone, they are welcome to wait a while and read through people's reports of their experiences with the kernel. If that is still too scary, then I hear that Verizon might be releasing this software on the 12th of Never.
And just in case I hurt anyone's feelings, I'm not singling you two out, and I'm not flaming you. This is a general public post aimed at addressing the overall concern behind this issue that comes up in every new dev thread. You both seem genuine and non-confrontational, but there is a wide range of people who come into these types of threads and whine and complain. So it's nearly guaranteed that someone else will enter and be like "OMG guize my phone iz broked how come you didnt say phone is broked???!!!!!" Then, everyone can point to this post.

Very nicely said. But i think most of the time when people ask they are not trying to be rude or annoying. They are just not aware or hoping the person who leaked it might have the changelog as well.

HALLO THAR me again. Ninphetamine 1.0 didn't go so well did it? I thought I'd lost my mojo. Some even had me wondering if my prior good works had been the freaky sort of flukes that would have been better spent on guessing lottery numbers than giving you lot new toys. I was down. Broken. Beaten. So much so even my sarcasm had left me, opting to close the thread after the billionth stupid question rather than scythe down the scum that floats atop our gene pool with my usual aplomb.
Down but not out the Ninphetamine team went back to basics and discovered this mysterious random reboot was still present. Many WTFs were uttered. So we seriously downgraded our building tools. Still random reboots. Many WTFs were screamed from the rooftops. Then someone "helpfully" mentioned that older Samsung ROMs were also plagued with a random reboot issue that disappeared some time a few ROM releases later. The same person "helpfully" mentioned that the Samsung kernel source was released around those early releases. I say "helpfully" instead of helpfully because it would have been HELPFUL if it'd been mentioned before hours had been spent reversing patches and performing voodoo ritual chants to try and get to the bottom of the problem. I looked back on Samsung's source website and discovered a recent KERNEL UPDATE and patched it into my source. BOOM, random reboots gone.
WELL THANKS A ****ING BUNCH SAMSUNG. I am so pleased it didn't occur to you to update your available sources after you'd discovered it was a kernel problem causing the reboots. Full marks for it completely slipping your collective mind that, while being fully aware people would be producing their own works for this phone (I know you're aware because of how you didn't lock the bootloader), it wouldn't be a GOOD ****ING IDEA to perhaps at least release a patch for the problem if not the updated source. MONTHS it's taken you, literally MONTHS.
I hate you. However, I also love you. At least you -did- release an update (albeit being later than the pope to a contraception conference) and your cockup only served to reignite the fire that is my rage.
So, Ninphetamine 2.0. It's true that war drives innovation and the war on the random reboot certainly had us trying many different things and making various discoveries. Many of those have been applied to the now working base so everything I promised for Ninphetamine 1.0 is there and then some.
EVEN FASTAR!!!11. Yep. Get a good tail wind at your back, throw a dice on a double six three times in a row and you can even break 4000 on Quadrant at stock speeds WITHOUT ANY CHEATING. I know Quadrant is largely a meaningless test, results rendered utterly useless by all the retards that mount everything to a ramdisk before running so they can masturbate furiously at HIGHER NUMBERS firmly and unironically of the belief that it increases their self worth and reputation. Performance is smoother however and responsiveness improved as well over Ninphetamine 1.0. Remember if you're the sort that does care about Quadrant scores, given that Android has the attention span of an eight year old child after consuming enough sugar to kill a diabetic in seconds, Quadrant needs 2-3 runs before the OS realises it might be a good idea to make sure the app has the CPU and memory resources it actually wants. Or you can flip the governor to the Performance.

FASTURER THAN EVAN FASTAR!!!!!111oneeleven. Speaking of people that like to furiously masturbate over high yet meaningless numbers, the overclocking feature is back with a few bug fixes for good measure. As before it's capped at 1600MHz. We haven't added the GPU clocking yet as it's important to ensure that the current feature set is stable before adding even more. The voltage control interface is also included. Remember, if you're the type of idiot that understands nothing of overclocking or undervolting or how CPUs work in general, don't come crying to me when you try and run 1.6GHz at 800mV and find you have problems. The issue isn't mine, it's yours. Take it up with your parents who are also your aunt and uncle, remember if you can to thank them for providing further evidence that inbreeding is bad and produces morons that aren't capable of functioning in society. Thanks.
Base still at 2.6.35.11. After patching in Samsung's fixes to their own incompetence I'm pleased to note that we're able to stay at least at 2.6.35.11 base, thus keeping many important fixes, improvements and performance boosts from the main kernel team headed up by God himself Mr Linus Torvalds. You thought I was God? While flattered no, I am merely a disciple ready and willing to deputise for when he's too busy.
So download it, run it, break it. Remember, asking me things covered in my initial posts will anger the Android Gods and at best will result in your public ridicule at worst will result in a few plagues upon your dark dingy basement where you no doubt reside.
If you're going to report problems I want more than "HLAP MAI PHONE BROKED". Try and recreate the issue while running logging (instructions on how will follow in a FAQ post). If you're overclocking/undervolting or any combination of the two, stop it and see if your problem persists.
Don't report every single issue you have to me either. It's possibly a kernel issue if overall stability is affected, if you get a full reboot from the boot logo (NOT the boot animation, dropping to boot animation means Android crashed, not the kernel) or if you get a full lockup. If you find that in life in general people tend to stop talking when you're around, or they don't quite seem sincere when laughing at your jokes, it's probably you, not me, that's at fault because you're a bit of an idiot.
Now, there's been a couple of testers that have suffered a rare random reboot. I have a theory on this but to prove it, I need a wider audience. There will be a downloadable kernel that is SOLELY for anyone that suffers a random reboot under NORMAL (normal clock, normal voltage, no tegrak, using OnDemand governor) circumstances.
Download links will be in the download post. If you ask where download links are, I'll give you a very custom one of your own and who KNOWS what that kernel might do. You've been warned.
TO REITERATE - READ THIS
All new downloads should download the release version. Only people who get an unexplainable reboot while running under stock 1.2GHz (or less) conditions at normal voltage with no OC software installed should download and install the workaround version.
Thanks
Unlimited thanks to my wife for her boundless patience with my Android obsessions.
Many thanks to my genius partner netarchy.
Many thanks to my harem of testers, pulser, designgears, Ante0, mattgirv, Obihoernchen, Kullt, Veyka, Lenny, yoda and Rawat.

Added a workaround for some ROMs bootlooping after a wipe of /data due to incorrect permissions on the new subdirectories created. Appears to be a ROM bug, perhaps KH3 related, would be handy if ROM developers could look for a fix.
2.1.1 Release Edition
Added FUSE and CUSE support.
2.1.0 Release Edition
Update to Samsung XXKG5 source (Update2)
Added GPU clock control interface (currently has no GUI)
Minimum CPU voltage now properly clamped at 800mV
Misc tweaks and fixes, see github commit log to cfs-exp for full details
2.0.5 Release Edition
Improvements to BLN battery usage.
Changes made to touchpanel sensitivity when the phone is charging to resolve issues for people using certain screen protectors that stop registering user input when on charge.
2.0.4 Release Edition
BLN support added.
RAM console (/proc/last_kmsg) added.
Workaround edition deprecated.
2.0.2 Release/Workaround Edition
More VPN features added.
JHash updated to version 3.
2.0.1 Release/Workaround Edition
CIFS support added.
2.0.0 Release Edition
Samsung's latest source update applied to base.
Kernel base updated to 2.6.35.11.
Overclock up to 1.6GHz.
Voltage control via SetCPU or Voltage Control from 800mV up to 1500mV.
BFQv2-r1 IO scheduler added and set as default.
Optimised EXT4 mount options.
Various other performance related tweaks.
2.0.0 Workaround Edition
As above, but with some patches applied to workaround errata inherent to some Cortex A8/A9 processors.
FAQ
How do I change my GPU clock speed?
Either wait for GUI support to appear in the form of an addition to SetCPU or a standalone GUI, or if you're confident with a terminal:
Code:
adb shell
cat /sys/devices/virtual/misc/gpu_clock_control/gpu_control # To view current settings
echo 267 300 > /sys/devices/virtual/misc/gpu_clock_control/gpu_control # Sets GPU clock from 160/267 to 267/300
We currently have a 450MHz maximum clock and 10MHz minimum clock. The presence of these values does not necessarily mean your GPU can run at these speeds, like all overclocking your results can and most likely will vary. Do not come crying in this thread because you broke your phone or set fire to your desk or gave yourself third degree burns. Actually, do, I enjoy a good laugh.
Hey any update on you guys getting FEATURE done or CHANGE I'd like?
Given that I'm away on honeymoon in two weeks and we're expecting Samsung to release sources actually used with 2.3.4 Any Day Now (tm) any new features are unlikely to appear until September, unless you're part of my IRC Testing Crew and we start testing new features ready for the release of the next major version. So stop asking.
Uncle Hacre, I had a nasty crash and my phone rebooted, I want to help you debug this, what can I do?
Code:
adb shell cat /proc/last_kmsg > lastkmsg.log
Then zip up the lastkmsg.log file and attach it to your post informing me of the issue.
I simply must have every possible second of battery life available, other kernel devs are disabling adb and logcat to make this happen can you do this please battery life is very important to me as I often spend days in Outer Mongolia with no access to power and that extra thirty minutes of battery life could be the difference between me tweeting I've lost my toes to frostbite or not!
Debugging features in the kernel are already disabled. Have I disabled adb/logcat? No. Will I? No. I'm at 50 hours uptime on my phone with just under 40% battery remaining. I see no battery issue. Whether the life can be slightly improved or not, removing a key debugging function from the land of custom ROMs is an incredibly stupid idea. What if you flash a custom ROM and there's an issue and the ROM developer needs debugging information to fix it? What if you install an app that has a problem and you cannot give any feedback to the app developer? Are you prepared to flash a kernel that has adb enabled any time you have an issue? For the minor gains in battery life it isn't worth it.
There's a ClockworkMod Recovery with a higher version number than the one you're providing surely bigger numbers means better why aren't you providing it?!?!
I'll update CWM Recovery as and when a version appears that provides a feature or fixes a bug that we're afflicted with.
WAAAAHHHHHHH QQ I have to wait ONE ENTIRE SECOND for my phone to wake up from standby!!!111oneeleven. This is totally unacceptable and it is ruining my life!!!
Of course it takes a second to wake up from deep sleep. Everything has been shut off, the CPU placed in low power mode and the entire OS placed into suspend. I don't know about you but it takes me far longer than one second to be fully coherent and responsive when I wake up in the morning and I've only got one brain to worry about, the SGS2 has two of them! Shut the whining up about this complete and utter non issue.
What ROMs will this work with?
The kernel has been tested with VillainROM 2.0 and 2.1. It should in theory work with any ROM based on a stock SGS2 ROM. However if your ROM developer requires a custom initramfs for features you may encounter problems.
How do I overclock my CPU?
Use SetCPU or Voltage Control, ensure you have the latest version.
How do I change the voltage of my CPU?
Use SetCPU or Voltage Control, ensure you have the latest version.
I cannot use adb install anymore.
We're aware of this and are working on a solution for the next release. In the meantime adb push the apk to the phone and install using a file browser.
My phone was running fine for hours but I just now had a random reboot. What should I do?
Learn to read. Download and install the Workaround Edition.
I have Tegrak installed while using your kernel, does that make me an idiot?
Yes.
Super Happy Fun Time

Have a question about this kerel, I got 1 % drop per hour in standby ( sleeping 8 hour and wake from 100% go down to 93%). Is it normal?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
No it's not normal. This is outrageous. Thank you for submitting this bug report so that myself and netarchy can get to work right away on the part of the kernel that is supposed to suspend the space-time continuum when your phone goes into standby so that it uses no power whatsoever. You see we weren't sure whether to suspend time or have it invent hydrogen fuel cells and circumvent the battery during Deep Sleep so we opted for the far easier suspension of space and time. I'm awfully sorry that our experiment failed and we'll now look into kernel code that can combine matter and anti-matter for a low power sustainable reaction so that you lose no precious battery life at all while the phone is in standby. Or you could do us all a favour, including yourself and turn your phone off and never ever touch it again. That way the number of people you communicate with will be curtailed, your phone will never lose power and you'll never need to sully one of my threads again. You have all the intellectual creativity of a box of hair, a command of language worse than that of a deaf mute and an ineptitude so offensive it cannot be summed up in a single word, so I'll try three: You're a moron.

How has it escaped your grasp when editing voltages that are all ~1000mV that over FOUR THOUSAND millivolts might just be something else?? In fact how did the words BATTERY VOLTAGE not clue you in after changing CPU VOLTAGE? You're a (unfortunately) breathing example of never underestimating the lowest level of stupidity.

Oh yippee the language police arrived. I'm so pleased you found the opportunity to take time away from your perfect life your perfect wife your perfect children and your perfect job situated high within that glorious and shining ivory tower of yours to descend upon us normal folk to educate us about our terrible language and vulgar manner of insulting those whom we only see as morose shambling idiots who cannot even manage to search a thread, whereas you see them as gleaming examples of humanity, bereft of love, attention and experience.
Well, as you're now down here on planet Earth, you globulating and sickeningly sweet preacher of goodwill, may I first introduce you to the word hypocrisy. Often rife among your dogooding kind, it means that you sit on high quaffing down pints of innocence and regurgitating it upon us regular folk as some kind of moral education, while still sneering like a ****ing 1930s cartoon villain. If you could get the shine of your halo out of your eyes for a few seconds and deign to look upon the unwashed masses, you'd recognise that dishing out lessons in manners doesn't often mix well if you throw in a dash of "insult their lack of any life worth living" or "let's have a pop at his wife".
You sir, are a **** but not only that, you're the worst type of ****. I'd rather deal with 20 of EACH of every idiot that precedes you in this posted collection of horrors than one of you, you vile and pathetic excuse for a human being. How dare you feign to come into my thread and chastise my use of language when you can't even ****ing spell let alone string a sentence together. You're not only offensive to the morals you're offensive to the eyes, you write down pure eye cancer and I implore you to stop.
I have never and will never excuse anyone's lack of common sense. There's a difference between not knowing and not even having the wherewithall to help your sodding self. I berate the latter and assist the former, whereas you don't flap your ****in caviar chompers unless there's some moral crusade to embark upon. How about you be honest with yourself and realise that you only arm yourself for combat and mount upon your trusty forum steed to put right what mere mortals like me have wronged, to give yourself grace and relief from the sorry, putrid and langquidly depressing state your own life is in. How about you spend even half the effort you spent ejaculating that illiterate and berating post into my thread, on sorting your own miserable existence out and then maybe we'd both be a lot happier. Your insignificant blip of an existence wouldn't be quite so worthless to you and maybe, just maybe, you'd keep your hypocrisy laden lectures to yourself which would in turn make me very happy indeed.

Nice work, I'm looking forward to this kernel as it evolves. Will be testing it out tomorrow.
I'm especially looking forward to GPU frequency and voltage control, as I'm running my GPU at 750mV instead of the default 1000 and the phone runs noticeably cooler when playing games, and thus logically would mean superior battery life while gaming. This would be a killer-feature in future releases, for me at least.
It would also be interesting to know if we'll eventually get "internal voltage" control some day. My deduction is that that would be the voltage for most things other than the CPU and the GPU like for example the hardware decoder/encoder as being the most significant part of the SoC, if it truly is things like the decoder, then it would boost battery life for video playback by some amount.

The next logical step is to work on voltage/clock control for the GPU. We'll then look at the internal voltage and what it affects. Not all Samsung's code is easy to follow.

Also, please discuss the moral part about cheating your fellow XDA members into a donation by faking insane performance.

I'd like to know too - out of curiosity and not malice. This was in May if I remember rightly. Think I remember one of them, but am naming no names since I'm not 100% sure.

6000+ for SGS II??? Wow! The best score I've got with my 241 apps and 75% full storage space is 3028 (see attachment), which is pretty good, I think. Without loading my apps I got a score of around 3800+ if I remember correctly. I think any score between 3000-4000 is a great score.
Cheers!
And I'm on Stock KF3 (rooted)
5000 is easy to get with kernel and 1.6GHz overclock , not possible on stock clocks , the cheat was quadrant specific only , if I'm not mistaken it mounted in RAM and got bloated IO score that's all. Pointless really as you should not judge performance on single benchmark , not to mention sgs2 doesn't need any cheats.
'Cheating' in quadrant is pretty easy (if you know what your doing anyways)
OC 1.6Ghz

run a few times

Litepro was the one I didn't dare name in my 1st post.
Sure he's not losing any sleep over the fact that this is why I'd never use his ROMs again - took me a while to decide, but Pulser nailed it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14601179&postcount=4
Same for AngeloM's kernel.
Shame - Lite'ning seems to be a very good ROM, cheating is/was totally unnecessary.
I assume apologies were made, otherwise they still wouldn't be here. Good enough for the mods and admin - we can't argue. Fair enough.
As far as I know it was never proved that it was Angelom who cheated. He didn't want to release the ROM on XDA until it was perfect. So some one else decided to release his rom here. He never give his okay for this and the thread was closed on his decision.
Quote from Angelom ROM thread on XDA:
Thread closed at the request of the ROM dev.
I personally would be careful with such allegations. Innocent until the opposite is proved.
Or give he a official statement which I didn't saw?

The quadrant hack is easy to spot. If you look at the init.d file there will be something included called uber_quadrant. Litepro did include it in the beginning but subsequently removed it.
I posted the current stock benchmark on http://smartphonebenchmarks.com/ which is 3831. This is stock, no OC and KE2 firmware. Benchmarks with my device are consistently in this range and I believe this is the max achievable with a stock device.

Sure he's not losing any sleep over the fact that this is why I'd never use his ROMs again - took me a while to decide, but Pulser nailed it:

Same for AngeloM's kernel.
Shame - Lite'ning seems to be a very good ROM, cheating is/was totally unnecessary.
I assume apologies were made, otherwise they still wouldn't be here. Good enough for the mods and admin - we can't argue. Fair enough.

I think litepro didn't realize the script just cheated, he removed it once he knew.
Is there a kernel with frandom support? It gives great performance for my other devices. I couldnt find one for s iii. Does anyone know any kernel wtih frandom support?
Anyone?

5. Frandom support (Optional) - CrossBreeder now supports linking both your random devices to the extremely fast alternative - Frandom ( http://billauer.co.il/frandom.html ). This module is orders of magnitude (10-50 times) faster than the standard character devices ( Check this out - http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...&postcount=134 ). The erandom character device also installed by Frandom doesn't use up system entropy at all on top of being fast. You will need to ask your ROM developer to develop the kernel module for you and then place it in /system/lib/modules. CrossBreeder will then try and load it and if successful, make all the necessary adjustments so that both /dev/random and /dev/urandom are pointing to /dev/frandom and /dev/erandom respectively. The speed benefits are to be seen to be believed. But since each ROM requires a unique kernel module, this option is left optional ( but auto detect ). Advanced users can even try and load the frandom module built for other kernels if they don't have one readily available for their own kernel version using the Punchmod utility.

Thats not really a bump is it. Op has given alot of links and explained alot to others about what frandom and crossbreeder is. Op you could of modified your first post though.

Temasek's kernel has it according to XDA search. Most devs here understood that Entropy seemed worked (some thought it was placebo) but no one knew why so mostly it was avoided. It even confused Cyanogen as to why it worked and the original cross breeder developer didn't know either.
As a result, some dev's introduced their own alternatives (eg AndreiLux) so Frandom is not really something you'll see much of around here.

I can say for sure that frandom and entropy engine make the phone a whole lot lot faster. Even after putting animation speeds back to normal. I have an s advance which couldnt play temple run without lag. had to open it twice to get rid of lag. but seeder got rid of the lag but i saw slight lag in later stages of the game. havege engine of crossbreedor got rid of that. i later got a kernel with frandom support and it made my phone even faster.
Thanks for the help
It seemed faster to me too, after a reboot. But after a while for me it seemed to slow down (using seeder).
Like I said though, AdreiLux put an alternative solution in his kernel, so youcould try Devil kernel (based on Andrei's sources back then) and see if the performance works for you.
just a odd idea I thought I would share
I wonder if its possible to patch a kernel on load using safestrap
I am wondering if maby we can hex-patch the DVFS table at execute to at least gain some overclocking
I read the kexec thread but the consensus there is that development is stalled waiting for a breakthrough
thoughts :fingers-crossed:

You can overclock via module sure, hex patch prob not needed.

hrmmm.... you talking about patching the dvfs kernel module or writing a custom module ...
if so I am surprised nobody has done that yet ..
is hex-patching from safestrap at all feasible ... it would grant you the 'keys' to all manner of "doors"
I used to fiddle with it on my cheap mk808 tv stick before we had kernel sources
I am surprised nobody has used kmodule's as a "attack vector" people seem to be chipping away and the Mountain that is kexec instead of just focusing on patching the issues we have with the stock kernel .. . a few years ago somebody was doing hex patches to implement kernel changes on the first generation of rockchip powered "tv sticks" the same logic should apply here
then again maby I have just been out of the game for way to long ....

I have dabbled with this, using a custom module based on the 8660 overclock module I found source for somewhere. The reason kexec is so much more desired then fixing the current kernel is because patching the current kernel might give us more io schedulers, overclock, custom governors etc, but at the end of the day all that crap isn't worth much on the poor excuse for android ui known as touchwiz.
Idk about you but I can tell you I for sure would not want to post a thread on overclocking or modifying cpu via modules in this day and age of 'the entitled xda user'. Maybe that's why you don't see any threads.
You bring up a good point about how people don't understand the various uses kernel modules can provide including but not limited to being attack vectors (though to some degree this is being done with kexec).

ill be the first one to admit I haven't keept up on this stuff simply because the effort started outweighing the gain
it just seems to me that people are chasing clouds ... with kexec the possibility of getting it working is basically nill due to lack of debugging information so why not attack something you can debug such as a kernel module hell in theory it should be possible to add io schedulers and governors via a module hell with a properly 'crafted' module we may even get kexec(kgraft?) as a result if you could create a exploit you could use to the proper effect ..
I agree that touchwizz is utter poo and should be stabbed with white hot knives and buried under 12ft of cement but the phrase "if life gives you lemons ... make lemonade" rings to mind ...
I am sure somebody will give me the usual speech about "if you are so smart do it your self" but sometimes people just need to step back and look at it another way .. + I am fighting insomnia and am on my third shot of jack ...
wow did I really write all that jesus ... no more jack for me at 12 am...

Lol. At least your question is a good topic of debate. Most questions and posts in our forum are boring to me but this isn't, so there's that I guess.

realistically you probably could't alter to much but adding overclocking a variety of minor tweaks could be done in hex
on a personal note I would be content with figuring out how to get some overclocking/undervolting done
