Ok guys this is my first overclocking app, including the following features:
Simple management of Processor Frequencies (Min and max)
Governors management with a gesture (Swipe down)
IO Schedulers management with a gesture (Swipe up) *new
Save as safe feature, wich means you have less chance to make some excesive overclock damage
Run at boot option
Visualization Settings
Requirements:
Android 2.2+
Kernel support for overclocking
Rooted device
Features planned:
-Profiles and notifications
-Voltage control (if kernel supports)
-AutoSet best config *new
Links at second post.
Some screenshots
02/04/2012 - v1.2
Fixed some fc while switching frequences on SeekBar
Fixed wrong sort of frequencies (now always from lesser to greater)
New ICS UI (only for ICS devices)
Almost done time / temperature profiles
Changed write method to command echo "frequency" > /sys/blah...
Current ram usage - 5MB, size 45.9KB

That doesn't depends on kernel, app will adapt on any kernel if it support overclock (all kernels in mini and mini pro does support oc)
I've tested and works perfectly...!
I used with Naa Kernel and Rom
As soon as I set vlaue 768 and apply phone reboots. I this just me?
hey!! D4.
nice to see u again in this forum. thank you

this happens to me too (not thru the app, i OC using CMsettings) some minipro's can seemingly go only upto 691 MHZ withh one oc module..
for example with nAa kernel i can go only upto 691Mhz but with zombipanic kernel i can go to 800Mhz dunno y...

Nope, GPU clocks seems to be complex to mod. And now im not in vacations so my time is not a lot cuz im almost always busy
Good work D4!!
and the app it's really small 33KB!!
just suggestions:
1
it's possible to have the stability test in a single option too?
...not linked to the save as safe feature??
2
..to write somewhere the swipe options
just in case of memory loss
thanks

I will do your first suggestion, was already planned, the other one i dont know if is so relevant
It seems my kernel doesn't support over clocking
The sliders are not moving, I guess I will have to replace the kernel. which one do you suggest? I have an Arc S.

Could you tell me your Kernel's name (even better upload a screenshot of about phone in settings)?, also 2 more things, is your phone rooted, and did you allow superUser permissions to simple OC ?
Hi,
I cannot choose any IO schedulers - I have only 'noop' in every governor.
HTC Desire Z here and my kernel is 2.6.35.14-Andromadus-Flinny-v1 (from Andromadus ICS v8 rom).
Any suggestion?
Greets & thx for the app!
can i use this to underclock stock kernel?

Can you upload a screenshot?, that may be because your kernel only supports noop io scheduler.
EDIT: On my stock kernel with no custom io schedulers, the list is reduced, so that does means your kernel only supports Noop scheduler.

Im not sure, but i will try and say you
EDIT: Yes you can, but with the new version, will release soon. Also, sliders cant be moved if your kernel does not support overclock, but you can setup easily a powersave governor, wich will underclock your cpu
universal?
what devices does this app support? all androids running 2.2+ or just xperia? i would assume that with SetCPU mentioned in the op that it is universal, but wanted to make sure. TIA

My aim is to make it universal and lightweight as hell! ill need support from all devices owners, for now, it should work on any device, anyway please test it. I will release a "more universal" version soon, im talking about 2 days, almost done now.
ok nice app but its been done alread about the exac same thing with NOFRILLS CPU thats out in the market for free and has been out longer and suports more languages . so dont know why this app got recognition on xda while nofrills cpu didnt and its been out longer... if anyone intrested look up nofrills cpu its the same thing ..... ps. im not tolling or hateing just thought id point it out ...

Flashed kernel a few minutes ago, looking good so far. I'm using smartassv2 governor and deadline scheduler, no overclock.
Hopefully there won't be any bugs to report
Just one thing: it would probably be a good idea to post stock WiFi modules, for those folks that may want to go back from your kernel to the stock one.
---------- Post added at 10:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:56 AM ----------
Aaargh... scratch that, there are some issues with the new governors:
Scrolling in LauncherPro (between screens, in the app drawer) is jerky. Also in Pulse News and Pocket (ReadItLater), although not as bad as with the launcher.
It's the same for smartassv2, minmax, interactive.
Ondemand and performance are fine, smartass (not v2) is a bit better but still laggy.
Also, the device is slow to wake up, with any governor: takes about 2-3sec for the screen to turn on, after pressing the power button.
EDIT- forgot to mention, I'm running KA02 ROM... there may be conflicts with one of the init.d scripts that come with the ROM.
Would appreciate it if anyone running stock firmware would test the kernel and report back.

The new governors just aren't optimized yet for new Xperia devices
It has nothing to do with the tweaks, but I can try to add some specific tweaks for the new governors, it might help

Choice is good, but so many governors? I am no expert on this matter, which is exactly my point. Someone with a good understanding on how governors work should add options for, say, three scenario's:
- Performance. When needed, throttle to max. overclocked speed and switch to faster speeds sooner
- Medium, scenario between energy saving and performance.
- Energysaving. Do not overclock, set the clock the lowest setting possible when screen off, sleep mode and use moderate throttling just enough to ensure the device doesn't feel laggy but isn't as snappy as Performance.
Or.. post the settings for these scenario's here
hi,
i just added 4 governes
most of them are stock
ok good news
After a lot of testing, editing etc with Krabappel2548 we have got more frequences
normally we have 4 freq, now we have got 7 working
Release: Soon
also added 1.2ghz (if everything goes well)
Awesome work guys!
Just a couple of days of struggling with study, and then I''ll finally have some time to experiment with the phone. Hopefully this new kernel will allow a nice improvement in battery life
have a little improvement in battery life.

Entering recovery
While booting, your device will vibrate and LED will turn puple while you see the sony kernel logo. When the phone vibrates, you need to press volume up or volume down to enter the recovery you like:
- Volume up: CWM Touch recovery
- Volume down: TWRP Touch recovery
GPU OC
OVERCLOCKING GPU WILL REDUCE BATTERY LIFE!
you can overclock/underclock GPU manually via scripts/commands...
[ how to do this manually/script ]
To check current max clock of GPU clock use:
Code:
cat /sys/devices/fdb00000.qcom,kgsl-3d0/kgsl/kgsl-3d0/max_gpuclk
To set GPU to particular frequency (overclock or underclock) use:
Code:
echo 533333000 > /sys/devices/fdb00000.qcom,kgsl-3d0/kgsl/kgsl-3d0/max_gpuclk
available scaling frequencies are:
Code:
[LIST]
[*]600000000 - 600 MHz
[*]533333000 - 533 MHz
[*]450000000 - 450 MHz (DEFAULT)
[*]320000000 - 320 MHz
[*]200000000 - 200 MHz
[/LIST]
Voltage Control
All credits for this interface go to Faux123!
WARNING!
DO NOT USE TOO HIGH OR TOO LOW VOLTAGES, SLOWLY increase the voltage one notch at a time for a particular frequency and do stability/testing for few hours. once you have verified that you CPU chip can handle that voltage ONLY then "Set at boot"/Use init.d script
You can either use an APP (like IncrediControl) [others mentioned in OP] or use an init.d script to do the work...
to see current voltage table use:
Code:
[B]cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/vdd_table/vdd_levels[/B]
to set voltage for a particular frequency:
Code:
[B]echo 1512000 1150000 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/vdd_table/vdd_levels[/B]
will set 1512Mhz freq voltage at 1150mV
to reduce voltages for ALL frequencies:
Code:
[B]echo -25000 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/vdd_table/vdd_levels[/B]
to increase voltages for ALL frequencies:
Code:
[B]echo +25000 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/vdd_table/vdd_levels[/B]
Sound Control
Kernel level Sound Control
This feature has been added by faux123 himself!
The sources for this feature are covered under GPL and are released along with my kernel sources at my GITHUB repo.
[ WARNING ]
high volume can damage hearing!
Krabappel2548, DooMLoRD or faux123 are not to be held responsible if this damages ur headphones/speakers/etc
USE THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK!
There are two ways to use this interface.
manual control through sysfs interface
paid app (FauxSound Audio/Sound Control)
How to use the app FauxSound Audio/Sound Control is pretty self explanatory so I will write on how to control using the sysfs interface...
BEFORE DOING ANY ADJUSTMENTS EXIT THE APPS LIKE MUSIC PLAYER/etc!!
The interface to control the sound output is located at:
Code:
[B]/sys/kernel/sound_control_3[/B]
it has 4 control interfaces:
Camera MIC
Code:
/sys/kernel/sound_control_3/gpl_cam_mic_gain
Headphone
Code:
/sys/kernel/sound_control_3/gpl_headphone_gain
MIC
Code:
/sys/kernel/sound_control_3/gpl_mic_gain
Internal Speaker
Code:
/sys/kernel/sound_control_3/gpl_speaker_gain
each supports gain levels from 20 (-20) to 50 (+10), base is 40 (0)
(the number in the brackets correspond to the numbers displayed in the app)
say if u want to boost headphone output (both left and right channels) then use the following command:
Code:
echo "44 44" > /sys/kernel/sound_control_3/gpl_headphone_gain
u can also individually increase/decrease the gain for each right and left channel
similarly other interfaces can be controlled
TIP:
do not jump to maximum values as sometimes the headphones/speakers might start distorting the audio... slowly increase and do testing for the levels which suit you!
not all accessories will work well with boosted audio output

sorry for question, but when to push volume button to start recovery? I try before LED blink, when LED blik, after LED blink, sometimes only once push, sometimes more, but only one succes enter to recovery from about 30 times
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
- Turn your phone off
- Press power button and immediately press and hold volume up
You'll see that the LED turn purple before it turns green for 2 seconds, and then you'll be in recovery. Let go of the volume button when you see the purple LED or when it vibrates.

Yea on my nexus 5 they ate the battery real bad. Sweep to wake and double tap to wake as well. The process basically keeps your screen on hence the high battery drain. Used k-control app for faux trinity bricked and franco kernels

Very kernel I must say, only it seems after flashing it changes product name to 'honami' (Z1) so trying to flash anything for Z Ultra (togari) ends up with status 7. Just a detail
thanks to
@sleekmason for his tutorial
@franciscofranco for his sources and hotplug algorithm
@oubeichen for msm_kcal_ctrl port
Features:
-franco hotplug algorithm
-custom thermal throtteling
-cpu: interactive
-uv: table exposed
-faux123 gamma control
-various fixes and optimizations

-updated to newest changes
-removed synapse (flash it yourself)
-governor is conservative now
-reverted some changes to hotplug
-scheduler: noop
-updated toolchain
-livebump instead of loki
-official CM only
how to change hotplug values
the values are located in
Code:
/sys/class/misc/mako_hotplug_control/
there you have
cpufreq_unplug_limit
Code:
if frequency is higher than this cores wont be offlined for a period
max_load_counter
Code:
maximal samples counted to offline cores (higher values = longer time to offline core)
high_load_counter
Code:
- info missing yet -
load_threshold
Code:
threshold to online a core
min_time_cpu_online
Code:
minimum time a core stays online
timer
Code:
samples per second (1 = 10 samples; higher values = less samples)
brightness
If you experience brightness issues it is because you are using base 4.2.2
to avoid issues flash 4.4.2 base

Cool, a new kernel ! Small question before I make the jump : what do you mean, generic touchboost not working ? Is this an issue for everyday use ?
Generic touchboost is a generic driver for boosting up the CPU in touch
Franco has this in his kernels but i couldnt make it work
So i implementend the touchboost in the existing lge touch driver
Shouldnt be an issue for usage since i am using this kernel myself as daily driver
Working great so far. Using on vanir ROM. Thanks!

Didnt overclock it
Never said i did
They pad has a quadcore with 4x1.7 GHz
No need for oc
I tried running this on the following ROM:
[ROM][v500][KK][4.4.4][LINARO/SABERMOD] AOKP [WEEKLY BUILDS][20140705]
The first issue I ran into was that the screen brightness was locked at the highest level. I have read that you need to have the 4.4.2 base when running these 4.4.4 ROMs in order for screen brightness to work. It looked to me like installing this kernel upgraded to the 4.4.4 base, which would explain why that became broken.
Is it therefore safe to assume that this kernel is only for ROMs running the 4.4.4 base and not the 4.4.2 base?
Thanks
Well, no problem with autobrightness for me, and I have switched to 4.2.2 base to avoid the dim screen at startup. Been running it for the biggest part of the day, and found no real issue for now. Good work.
As for what doesn't seem to work, I was thrilled to see the gamma option in trickster mod, and thought I would be able to calibrate my screen correcly for the first time. Sadly, it seems the changes are registered (Trickster mod says they are saved allright), but there is no evolution whatsoever : the screen stays the same (and believe me, I have tried the most extreme settings to be sure I would notice the subtlest of changes).
i dont know about the bases
i think i have the 4.2.2 base but i am not sure
and currently gamma is not working. i am looking into that, but it seems quite hard

Well at least, the option shows up in trickster mod, so I guess you're not so far from it. Anyway, your kernel seems to run very well. Thanks!
For sure opened the brightness...in fact ALL the way & no way to lower more.
Also, I lost sound.(Not for sure now about that one) All else fine, but NO gama control, and no 'on demand' - only 'interactive & 2 others'...
So giving it up for now, but thank you for the compiling & I'm sure you'll get it right next time!

i am aware of the brightness problem
gamma control not yet given, since i cant find the gamma address
interactive is optimized so its selected as default in this kernel
v3 feels alot smoother
dont know if there are any issues with cabc enabled
you gotta try out and report me
Running v3 on Mahdi. Smooth so far. Will report back in a few days.

I was testing v3 and brightness value is fixed and wont change for me. I'm using CM11 M8.

The brightness seems to be *the* big issue with all the kernel builds. But when mentioned to other kernel builders or porters, they don't understand the 'why' of the need for more brightness. I feel the same way...I would like to be running at 40% brightness and see everything OK, but just so I could possibly save some battery 'time'. But frankly I really don't know why - 5 or more hours is long enough in one day on a tablet for me. Seems to be enough for Oubeichen, who I think is a fine kernel analyzer or porter.
What I would like to see is what Oubeichen put into this kernel found here and which I'm running but is v3.4.xxx (can't remember! and am on a computer now):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=54153699&postcount=196
Even though this is early version kernel, I'm running it with no problems - it has about 7 or 8 Processor settings such as Progressive, Conservative...etc. and several I/O's such as Noop and all the others that are not shown on the later 3.4.0 kernels. Nice settings to have to play around with IMO.
As aicjofs said brightness is a BASE issue
If you run the kernel on the 4.4.2 base you will have no Problem
I can compile it for your 4.2.2 base but i dont just geht why you dont upgrade
Having 1000000 options isnt as good as having optimized options
If you want to know what the issue is you have to look jnto the AIC thread. He stated the difference for autobrightness on the bases
i have added a sys interface so ppl with 4.2.2 base can also use this kernel
just read first post
Hi all,
some of you know me from the Samsung devices area, where I provide my kernels already for more than two years to Galaxy S3 and Note 10.1 users for all sort of platforms (Samsung, Cyanogenmod, Omnirom etc.).
Maybe you also know me from my OnePlus One kernels I added in winter last year to my portfolio.
Finally I got a Samsung Galaxy S5 afew weeks ago and decided to port my kernel also to this device. This is a sponsored device, so I want to say a big thank you to the people that made it possible, namely the ones in the German Smartphone Forum www.hubo.in !!!
Please note:
I am not heading to have as many features as possible implemented, this is not my design goal. If you are more into that, move on to other, good existing kernels. If you are searching for a good mix of improvements and new functions while not sacrificing stability, you are welcome here (see below the history section for more info).
For the CM Boeffla-Kernel, please go HERE.
Important notes
When using new anykernel concept Boeffla-Kernel: Flash stock kernel of rom first !
Compatibility
Important: This kernel is only meant to be compatible with official Samsung stock firmware and nothing else.
So when the kernel does not run on custom rom XYZ, do not even bother me with it or ask hundred times in the thread for compatibility.
I could not care less about it !!
Support
First read the FAQ section on the Homepage !!!
Click here to learn about all possible kernel settings in the config app.
Click here to learn about using the config app.
I will refuse to give support if you do any undervolting and experience freezes or hot reboots.
I will also not provide any support if you do not use Boeffla-Config app to tweak the kernel, other 3rd party tweaking apps are known (and intended) to cause issues.
I will refuse to give support if you have xposed framework installed and reporting any kind of weird issues. My opinion to xposed it quite clear: too powerful for >90% of the users that just mess up their system with it.

History and design targets
Basically I created my first Boeffla-Kernel in 2012 as there was no kernel for the Samsung Galaxy S3 around that had exactly the mix of functionalities that I wanted. I wanted to have full flexibility in undervolting and charge rates for instance, but did not like the sharpness and/or brightness tweaks many kernels have implemented as per default.
Hence, I began to create my own kernel after a while, adding all the features I like. This is the result of my work, which in the end I decided to share with you. I hope you like it as much as I do.
The objective of this kernel is to have a kernel for daily use. It does not aim for best battery life, or best smoothness or best benchmark scores. Also it does not aim to have the broadest feature set available everywhere.
It aims more for a good mix of all, not sacrificing stability and functionality in the end.
And - most important: It aims to stay quite close to stock !!!
These design targets are also valid for the Galaxy S5 kernel here!!!
This said, I will definitely NEVER implement:
things I do personally not need
things I do not like
things that are in any way dangerous
anything which is highly experimental
f2fs - it is known to cause various issues and compatibility problems
a CAF based kernel
anykernel method to use the ramdisk of the installed rom
anything that requires upstreaming of kernel parts to a higher kernel major version
So do not even ask for it if it falls into the listed categories. Everything else I am happy to check and decide.
And: I do not really care about benchmark numbers, they say almost nothing as long as something is not completely wrong. Important for me is the feel-good factor.
I am also not interested in gaming at all, so never expect a gamer kernel. It will just not happen...
Compatibility
To reiterate it again: Flash the correct kernel depending on whether you are on Samsung Stock, CM12 or CM11 !!!
Configuration of the kernel
To tweak and configure the kernel, manually load and install the app "Boeffla-Config V2" from the downloads section on www.boeffla.de.
You need at least version 2.1.72 or higher for the Galaxy S5 Boeffla Kernels.
Donation
If you like my work, feel free to donate: Donation-Link
If you donate at least 2,49 EUR (to be in line with the donation app prices on Google Play store), you will receive a personal donation code which unlocks some nice little comfort functions in Boeffla-Config V2 on top.
Source code
All sources can be found in my Github repository: http://github.com/andip71
Credits to developers
Of course, I had never been able to create all that by my own. So I want to give credits to the really good developers around, that have given me all the inspiration and from which I cherry picked lots of the implemented functionalities:
* ZaneZam
* Yank555
* ktoonsez
* Hardcore
* Chainfire
* AndreiLux
* Netarchy
* Gokhanmoral
* Entropy512
* Faux
* Ak
... I just hope I did not forget someone. If so, please let me know and I will add you of course.
Thanks to all of you for your great work !!!

*** You want my support? Then stick to my rules ***
Guys, I am receiving more and more completely useless support requests in different threads. Useless because people provide nothing to be able to help, not even the minimal possible information they could give.
Hence, I will now remind anyone again on the support guide lines stated here:
http://boeffla.de/index.php/support/support
Also you need to ensure you follow the installation guide lines incl. trouble-shooting stated here:
http://boeffla.de/index.php/support/installation-how-to
And to cut a long story short: If you do not at least provide what I request in the support guide lines, I will IGNORE YOUR REQUESTS IN FUTURE.
Straight and simple. I have enough of people wasting my time just because they are too lazy to write details.
Period.
Also as a reminder:
you use xposed? -> no support, everything is your own issue
you use a custom rom and not the official stock or CM one? -> good luck, you are on your own
you undervolt or overclock? -> have fun, but without my support
Sorry, this might sound harsh (and it is meant to sound harsh), but you cannot imagine about how crappy support requests can be. Stating something does not work is just not enough.
Please consider that!!!

I am sorry, nothing changed in my attitude and golden rules over the past years.
No device, no kernel.
Apart from that, I need to stop adding new kernels now, it just gets too many already. And once I realize quality does drop, I have to stop.
Andi
Thank you,Andi
Thanks to @Lord Boeffla, finally today you've released your awesome kernel. Of course I saw @ZaneZam thanks to you too and I know we might have another version will be compiled and supported. Nice
Hi all,
Great kernel
Works very fine
Check this out...
Thanxxxx to the Lord for the hard work in the last week's
It's hard to access root rights on my device with Stock Deodexed Prerooted Rom. I've flashed Update-SuperSu 2.46 in TWRP, but RootChecker checked with no Root installed on device

Andi, forgive me, does it work on ANG7?

Looks good so far on XtreStoLite!
I'm just wondering if you are planing to add full sound configuration options?
Your sound implementation options allowed superb sound on S3 and I guess I'm not the only one missing it on S5
Looking forward to next versions!

Would love to. But it is a completely different sound chip used in the S5, compared to the S3.
And it seems there is no way to get hold of any documentation for it (wdc9230), which would allow us dev to explore more of the chips capabilities.
If you saw a kernel providing more sound options, I am happy to get the information about it and checking if it can be ported. Then we would even know what the audio hub can do and what not...
Or someone can get Qualcomm to hand me over the documentation of their audio hub, then also more is possible. But many devs for sure have tried that in the past years already, so I am not very optimistic.
Andi
Battery friendly seems so good for daily usage at the moment, but Battery Saving with zzmoove / battery yank seems pretty lags. Hope it be implemented some next versions.

Yes, it lags. And it is a hardly battery focussed preset, so it must lag.

*** This kernel is now end-of-life and not supported nor actively developed anymore !!! ***
Hi all,
some of you know me from the other OnePlus or Samsung devices areas, where I provide my kernels already for more than five years to OnePlus 5, 3T, 3, 2, one and X, Galaxy S5, S3 and Note 10.1 users for all sort of platforms (Samsung, Cyanogenmod, Omnirom etc.)
Now I own a OnePlus 5T device and decided to port my kernels also to this device.
Please note:
I am not heading to have as many features as possible implemented, this is not my design goal. If you are more into that, move on to other, good existing kernels. If you are searching for a good mix of improvements and new functions while not sacrificing stability, you are welcome here (see below the history section for more info).
Compatibility
Important: This kernel is only meant to be compatible with official OnePlus OOS and nothing else.
So when the kernel does not run on custom rom XYZ, do not even bother me with it or ask hundred times in the thread for compatibility.
I could not care less about it !!
To add: A community build is NOT an official build supported here. If you use a community build and have issues, don't complain or even report.
Important notes
Read first, especially when you are new to my kernels:
http://wiki.boeffla.de
Boeffla-Kernel uses the anykernel concept = Flash stock kernel of rom first !
This kernel is ONLY compatible to OxygenOs stock, nothing else !!!
If you are using a custom rom that bases on OxygenOs, it might work. However, if it does not work, do not expect me to do tweak to make the kernel running with your favorite rom. I would not do it - my one and only reference is OxygenOs stock.
It is not supposed to be compatible to CM, HydrogenOS etc.
Also note: You have to use Boeffla-Config app which I provide on my homepage to tweak the kernel. 3rd party apps will not be able to unleash the full power of the kernel.
Important: Manually disable battery optimisation for Boeffla-Config app in the rom settings (battery -> battery-optimisation)

Not sure if it is the same problem but in the first release of elementalX kernal, whether the brightness dimmer was enabled or not the brightness at maximum was half of what it should have been.
Thanks.

Good hint. Will check in that direction when more people are sure this brightness thingy is real.
Update: Analysis started...

Ok, issue analyzed, confirmed to be a bug.
Bug is fixed and beta2 already compiling. Stay tuned. And thanks for the report.
(BTW it was not the brightness dimmer but a changed brightness range sent by the rom to the kernel, so the min/max limiter was cutting too early)
Thanks

Thanks. Sorry, did not see your post as I was busy analyzing.
Well... reverting a commit and losing the functionality is not the option when I can fix it, eh? :fingers-crossed:
And so I did.

Yeah. But not before it gets out of open beta, not before it is released officially.
... my golden rule for a long time.

Welcome to the 5T-Zone
Is it possible to have WireGuard implementation for your new 5T kernel (at some point in the near future) ?
Edit:
I just rechecked the OP, already there. Too cool
