Hello,
after reading http://www.vincentkong.com/wiki/-/wiki/Main/Android+IO+Schedulers I got the impression,
that my streak deserves a try in other schedulers than the cfq.
So I took https://github.com/dsc-team/dsc-team-kernel-project and added the bfq and sio scheduler
(see attached file)
The sio scheduler I got from https://github.com/waninkoko/sio-iosched/blob/master/sio-iosched.c
The bfq scheduler came from http://algo.ing.unimo.it/people/paolo/disk_sched/sources.php (2.6.35 Version of it)
I compiled it once with arm-linux-androideabi-4.6 but stayed at gcc-linaro-arm-linux-gnueabihf-2012.09-20120921_linux, cause the zImage is about 7% smaller in bytes and 10% faster at starting init with the same .config.
Tested the schedulers with bsplayer playing a 720p video from /sdcard/
With cfq and sio I get just about 23 fps, with bfq straight 25 fps. Thats not much, but enough to stop bsplayer from dropping frames.
I kindly request you, considering at least the bfq to include in your next kernel release.
Thank you for your attention
hunderteins
Patch applies clean, but am i missing something?
Code:
block/blk-ioc.c: In function ‘put_io_context’:
block/blk-ioc.c:45:29: error: ‘struct io_context’ has no member named ‘bfq_cic_list’
block/blk-ioc.c: In function ‘exit_io_context’:
block/blk-ioc.c:80:29: error: ‘struct io_context’ has no member named ‘bfq_cic_list’
block/blk-ioc.c: In function ‘alloc_io_context’:
block/blk-ioc.c:94:36: error: ‘IOC_IOPRIO_CHANGED_BITS’ undeclared (first use in this function)
block/blk-ioc.c:94:36: note: each undeclared identifier is reported only once for each function it appears in
Never mind, applied BFQ patch from
http://algo.ing.unimo.it/people/paolo/disk_sched/sources.php
Works, thank you.

No need for older kernels. You can change schedulers with
echo "bfq" > /sys/block/mmcblk1/queue/scheduler
values are bfq, noop, deadline, cfq
Sadly it.sineo.android.noFrillsCPU is not working with schedulers on the Streak,
cause our /sdcard is mmcblk1 and noFrills expect it to be at mmcblk0. Patched,
it works.
Same goes to com.darekxan.voltagecontrol.
We should patch the kernel and symlink /sys/block/mmcblk1 to /sys/block/mmcblk0 to make these market apps
work on the streak.
No symlink in init so far.

I have to say that hunderteins is right, it really makes a difference, i had 2 videos on the phone that lagg alot when playing but always forget to transform them, and now they are working better not laggin, only the sound lags now the video is smooth.
And better photo quality.

GPU OC to 446Mhz
Dynamic EDP - allows EDP to remain enabled (safer), but with an added simple temperature throttle switch (based on Asus Prime)
ZRAM - must be enabled by a script
initramfs - insecure (your ROM must have busybox)
CIFS/UTF8, NFS, NTFS r/w, TUN - built-in, no need for any kernel modules
fsync sysfs enable/disable switch (defaults to fsync enabled)
kexec with hardboot (for supporting Linux/MultiROM)
New features:
Compiled with latest Linaro 12.12 - GCC 4.7.3
7 I/O schedulers - SIO, V(R), CFQ, NOOP, deadline, ROW(default), BFQ v5r1
13 Governors - Interactive(default), Performance, Ondemand, Userspace, PowerSave, Conservative, Lulzactive, SmartassV2, PegasusQ, Wheatley, InteractiveX, OndemandX, Lazy
TCP setting: cubic(default), reno, bic, westwood, highspeed, hybla, htcp, vegas, veno, scalable, lp, yeah, illinos
Optimized misc: SHA1, AES, lib string/memcpy, ARM RWSEM algorithm, OTG unplug and many many others
Update ZRAM (3.3), ZCACHE (3.3), Android Binder (3.3), Lowmemorykiller (3.4), Logger (3.4), Time GPIO (3.4)

I tested it out on sgt7 (cm10.1) and it was stuck at the max freq. Couldn't get it to scale down no matter what governor I chose or after rebooting. Went back to lean kernel and all is well again. Idk what happened?

Try with performance gov because I've optimized interactive gov to be less aggressive scaling at 1Ghz (hispeed_freq) for save more battery
Remember that a difference of 400~ points is normal from one test to another and if you just rebooted, wait that media scanner finish its work.
Very smooth and works perfectly on latest cm10.1! Found my favourite kernel

ondemand or interactive performance and conservative are those you can play with.
Others are always giving you problems. Other governors are more buzzwords than anything else.
At least it's my opinion...

Just my opinion, for me no need to them. I use interactive when gaming an conservative for other things.
And my battery is great and i always keep stability.
The only kernels i use are trinity and franco kernels because of that.
To much governors, schedulers, patch and mods always gives you stability problem.
I do not denigrate any kernel or kernel devs, i just love when it's clean lean and simple.

Liberator is an OC/UC daemon similar to, and based on virtuous.
It's a native app, which runs via an init.d script on startup.
It has 4 profiles, which can be set up to change the governor, scheduler, and min/max freqs.
Profiles:
Normal - The default profile.
Sleep - Kicks in when the screen turns off.
Charging - Kicks in when the screen is on, and the phone is charging.
Low Battery - Kicks in while the screen is on, not charging, and the battery percentage falls below the defined level.
Source & Readme - https://github.com/chris41g/android_external_liberator
Download Link - http://chris41g.devphone.org/index.php?dir=Liberator/
I suggest uninstalling any utilities that set the CPU freqs or governor.
I wrote this to work with any ROM, or device.. but things don't always work out the way they are intended to.
If you have any problems, Iet me know so I can get this thing done!
My explanation from irc:
Code:
<chris41g> ok let me explain it
<chris41g> do you underclock or overclock? and do you change governors or scheduler?
<chris41g> its basically a C daemon that replace Setcpu, CPU tweaker, CPU Master etc
<chris41g> way faster since its written in native C, uses less resources and battery
<chris41g> it has 4 profiles.. Normal, Charging, Screen Off, Low Battery
<chris41g> and you can set min/max freq, sched, and governor for each profile...
<chris41g> by setting text files in /system/etc/Liberator
Deleted
Is this set up with default values so I can just flash and use?
NVM I viewed them , and they are. The default "normal" governor is set to ondemand and the scheduler is set to noop, are these the most battery efficient choices?
NVM Found this thread explaining governors http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1369817
I normally use setcpu, but since you have a 3511 thanks and counting and you say this "uses less resources & battery" then Ill use this. Thx

Ok, I guess no one had a copy. So I built it from source, did have a question on if I built it right.
I was getting missing cutils/socket.h, so I grabbed that folder from android_system_core-cm-10.1 github and copied into my android-ndk-r9\platforms\android-14\arch-arm\usr\include and had to add a define to the android.mk file
LOCAL_CFLAGS := -DHAVE_SYS_UIO_H or I got a error.
so I grabbed the binary copied it to my phone created all of the *_scheduler files, not sure how to do the init.d yet, is there a special script that was included that is not in the source?
Thanks.

WiFi works fine on xt1575. Have u tried clearing catche and dalvik?
Also benchmarks show no improvement, but overall feel seems more fluid IMO. Some of the best kernels I've use in the past have followed this trend.
sweet I need some stock rooted love for now! also is there any chance for flashable zip?
I was just wondering if you had any plans going further on this kernel? Such as custom governors, I/O schedulers, etc.? Just flashed this, to early to tell anything right now. Everything seems OK. Thank you.

Well I usually send about 4-5K messeges per month I text a lot so I would simply see slow response when typing and would make bunch of mistakes I think few people reported same in the "do you have lag thread" in general or questions,I forgot where it was though.
It didn't happen in things like browser or others just sms apps.

You should quote the other guy. I'm still trying to reproduce the lag myself.

Right but that was on stock kernel for now it works good so I can't say yet 100% that it helps or not. But if the lag comes back I will let you guys know
Hey guys,
Here is my second kernel project for you all to try. I did my first kernel project on the Google Pixel/XL.
Some may know me from my ghostpepper\butterfly Interactive governor Tweaks from the HTC 10. And later also the widely used Pnp Mod.
I hope to achieve great performance while maintaining stability with this kernel.
I did a few performance tweaks and audio tweaks.
Features are:
Included blu_active CPU governor (you have to rename system/etc/pnp.xml to system/etc/pnp.xml.bak and reboot in order to use blu_active)
Enabled MAPLE, SIO, SIOPLUS, FIOPS, ZEN, TRIPNDROID, FIFO and DEADLINE IO scheduler
Enabled advanced TCP Congestion Control
Included GPU Boost
S2S across navbar area
KCAL color calibration
Button Mapper Support
Fsync On/Off support
Green Pulsating Notification LED
Fingerprint Double Tap to sleep support
Interface to boost memory bandwith upon turning on the screen to achieve faster wake up time
Slimbus Enhancement may improve audio quality
Button Light Notification from @tbalden
IO Sched Switcher
Interface to boost UFS Storage Controller
Power Efficient Workqueues
Adreno Idler
Fast Charging
Reworked GPU Section
Before flashing don´t forget to backup your Boot partition in TWRP.

Thank you for the nice welcoming
Next release will have some upstream commits
Also you all are welcome to give some feedback.
nice to see that development is kicking up this weekend
Best kernel on Pixel XL nice to see you here. Good luck with everything :good:
So it seems that CPU OC isn’t working quite well with my chip. Tried yesterday 2,5 ghz for the big cluster and it didn’t even make it through boot process.
New release will be this evening.
Please report back how the kernel works for you.
Also please state the model you are on. But it should work for dual and single sim I guess.

Update to 0.2
Hey guys and girls,
here is the update to 0.2
includes all previous features
Changelog:
- patches to loadavg
- Upstream: reimplement mb2cache
- mm: slub: Default slub_max_order to 0
The kernel runs really nice for me.
Download: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=889764386195910663
Have fun with it and a nice day
P.S.: Next release will have some surprises. But I want to make sure it is stable.
Thanks for your work, i will give this a try
So how is everyones experience?
new kernel release will be soon :victory:
Update to 0.2_2
Hey guys and girls,
the promised update is here. It may not seem like much but I managed to put a few new things in the kernel.
I had a play with different IO schedulers. As you may have noticed the new storage of our device is already blazing fast but I tried to make it even faster.
So I managed to built in the maple Io scheduler from @frap129. It results in slightly better IO speeds than stock in my tests. But this is only the first part of the IO journey.
Next release will have another IO gov, but I try to optimize it first and test it extensively.
additionally this kernel now includes the IO sched switcher from @Sultanxda
Description is as follows:
"This driver changes the I/O scheduler for a specified request queue to
Noop when the screen turns off in order to improve power consumption while
the screen is off, as well as reduce resume latency when the screen is
turned back on. After the screen is turned back on, the driver will change
the I/O scheduler back to what it originally was after a 10000ms delay."
This means screen turns on faster and phone will drain less battery when in deep sleep. :good:
In addition to boosting DDR bandwidth we now also give a boost to our storage when the screen gets turned on.
Changelog 0.2_2:
- included maple IO scheduler from @frap129
- included IO switcher from @Sultanxda
- boost ufs storage controller when turning the screen on.
- included BLN from @tbalden ( give him a big thanks!)

Just flashed today. Running very fast and smooth. I'll see about battery life tomorrow. Excellent job on this.
Good Job! Thanks for your work
Battery life seams better for my usage. Haven't experienced any lag. Everything is smooth. I'm not much of a gamer, but have played a couple an they are smooth as well.
Update to 2.2_6
Hey guys and girls,
Update time again.
New version 0.2_6. I ran this for a week and it is absolutely stable for me.
Changelog:
- some backport and upstream patches
- add backlight dimmer
- optimize for performance instead of size ( that is also why the download is ~1mb bigger)
- enable RCU boost to decrease latency even further
- set timer for interrupting the kernel to 300 (performance increase)
- random driver from linux 4.12
- add tripndroid IO scheduler
Download:

Have fun with it. The kernel flies for me now. Well even more than before!
Quite happy about the battery life.
Without power saver, medium usage I would say :good:
Fantastic! Just curious, do you run this on stock ROM or one of the customized ones?

FAQ:
Need Help / Want to Help? Join the my Telegram Channel: @sz_kernel_angler
Is this kernel compatible with Android Pie (9.0)? It should work out of the box, however several users have reported boot freezes / loops on Pie. I haven't had a chance to test it fully in Pie and am still on Oreo myself. If you run into issues, try running with SELinux as permissive or reach out on Telegram.
Nice, gonna give this a run. Kudos for adding detailed instructions on your site.
Nice, was hoping for new kernel a long time
I would like to suggest the "Hima Hotplug" for your kernel, it is so fluid and great on battery life (experience from sphinx kernel for bullhead)

You're welcome. It is as much for me to remember how to do stuff in the future with other devices as anything else. Glad others can benefit from it as well.

just wanted to say solid first public kernel. super smooth
Thank you for the new kernel,so far so good
Smooth so far, great job.
though is it just me or does the Settings app display "Unavailable" under Kernel version? EX Kernel Manager displays the kernel version just fine.
Maybe it has something to do with the presence of spaces in the kernel version name?

same here, nothing so important. if you click on it it shows the kernel info (atleast that is what happens on aosip rom)

Yeah I agree, it is, by no means, a deal-breaker. I just wanted to point it out for newcomers because I sure had a grand time panicking over whether or not the installation went through.
Currently using this kernel with ABC rom, so far the best kernel ever, very smooth and good heat output

This does work on AOSiP. Stock ROM (and maybe others) it does not appear after tapping on "Kernel Version" in settings. As noted, third party apps like EX Kernel Manager and Kernel Auditor seem to display the kernel version correctly.
There are, in fact, spaces in LOCALVERSION in the config file. I'll add this under bugs in the second post and update when it's fixed.
PS: Glad you guys are enjoying it and to hear it runs smooth and cool! Usage stats for the 'battery' spectrum profile are in the updated OP. Testing the 'balance' profile now.
UPDATE 8/1: The 'kernel version' issues has been fixed. Notation is in second post and download link has been updated in OP.
This kernel kicks ass! Seriously, great work. One of my major complaints with the 6P was its over heating and then thermal throttling. I just didn't play certain games because of it. Now, after flashing this kernel it runs smooth and cool and games work again. Unreal. Truly love the way the phone works now. Not bad for battery life either but it's not my primary any more.

Good to hear! Did you use the Gaming spectrum profile? I'm don't use my phone for games so I didn't test that outside of synthetic benchmarks. Also, the Battery spectrum profile should give pretty good battery life as it's very conservative.
Spoiler: I'm working on maybe adding the chill or relaxed governors to test as well.
No profiles, just default settings. I usually run a week or two on default before I mess around just so I can tell the difference in the tweaks.
I might play around but this phone is just for messing about now, picked up the Essential on the Prime deal and quite like it so the 6P is not a daily driver.
Gotcha. FYI the balanced profile is enabled by default.

All the profiles are in my AnyKernel repo on GitHub. There are a total of 30 profiles from around the web even though the Spectrum App only uses those numbered 0, 1, 2, and 3. I include my built kernel zImage-dtb in the AnyKernel repo so that you can clone it yourself and apply a different profile "manually" if you like. Just change the number in ramdisk/init.spectrum.sh, zip it up, and flash it.
Code:
if [ ! -f /data/property/persist.spectrum.profile ]; then
setprop persist.spectrum.profile 0 # change this number
fi
Note, if you use this method, and later select a profile from the Spectrum App, the Spectrum App choice will override the initial one, including after reboot -- because it applies the settings once the user space is reached.
@savagezen thanks! Also, kernel link?? I must be missing it.. Is it in the OP?
