EliteKernel 140628 & EliteKernel KitKat 150429
Turbo just got a new meaning.
For international HTC One X+ only. NOT for AT&T!
This experimental kernel is a tweaked version of HTC stock kernel for Android 4.2.x, therefore works with HTC Sense 5.
EliteKernel aims to provide:
- faster raw speed at lower frequencies
- decrease heat under heavy load
- optimize CPU, memory, I/O and native performance
- high stability
- more features
Be aware that I made this kernel primarily for myself, I may go to extremes to squeeze the last bit of performance out of my device. I guarantee no support whatsoever and any modifications you make to your device are solely your responsibility.
Usage:
1) download, extract the folder somewhere
2) connect your international One X+
3) open "oxp_flash_elitekernel.bat"
4) follow simple instructions
NOTE: The kernel has all necessary modules embedded, it should work with any ROM without any additional flashing steps. Also you don't need to reinstall/reflash when you change your ROM.
NOTE: On stock ROM - you need to install root and busybox!
If by any chance you don't get radio/wifi signal, you need to install latest superuser and busybox versions, then flash kernel again.
Do NOT use SetCPU and similar, they do not support tegra drivers and will break stuff so don't complain!
Please do not request features via PM or spam the thread repeatedly, I heard you the first time and either don't like the idea or am already working on it...
Features planned if possible:
- currently none
Many thanks to all the great devs of various parts and modules that made this possible.

READ ME FIRST:
If you have problems, try to flash older versions chronologically before reporting it. Find the newest version where the problem did not yet occurr and describe it to me in this thread along with the ROM you are using. If you won't state the last working version I most likely cannot help you!
For problems with video players/convertors being choppy or slow, make sure you install the corresponding ARMv7 NEON codec package and enable hardware acceleration in options. The kernel will not let you abuse the CPU and kill your battery, you need the correct codec and uninstall all other codecs for the application.

just flash via normal method (Recovery) right?
just wanted to clarify something, you said you tried to squeeze as much performance as possible, does that mean you OC'd or something?
Read the first post.
You can't flash kernels via recovery unless you have s-off. The download contains a one-click fastboot package.
Performance increase is not achieved by overclocking, quite the contrary this should produce better (lower) temperatures at identical frequency ranges. It's all software optimizations so far.
thanks mate
Thanks:good:
hi,
thx , oxp EliteKernel + insertcoin work's great,
Hi,
Flashed your Kernel, thanks very much :good:
Tried to get back into Recovery after though and couldn't.
Flashed the Stock kernel back again and could get back into recovery without issues again..
Looking forward to any future releases :highfive:
you're saying we can't go to recovery with this kernel?
Am I?
adb reboot recovery
Or hold power and vol down until you get to hboot, then recovery.
Worked for me every time and I am flashing like crazy.
Sent from my Desire Z powered by EliteMod.
Lags with video playing (MXPlayer and DicePlayer) on 1080p mp4 music clips. Energy saving was on|off. Return back to kernel from Maximus ROM and everything is OK - smooth playing without gaps.
I'll take a look, may be I/O or the fact that I disabled special CPU treatment for media to save battery.
Just downloaded a random 1080p video off youtube and tried a 3GB 720p movie and it works perfectly at just 51-1400MHz ondemand.
Maybe you are not using HW acceleration, other kernels may let you get away with that, this one actually has active battery saving features
I would suggest:
1) download the correct codec pack for your MX Player (ARM7 Neon)
2) start MXPlayer, go to settings-decoder and enable H/W+ decoder
If it doesn't work, upload some short sample clip that doesn't work for testing.

Flashed back your kernel, install codec pack for MX Player (ARM7 Neon), check that it has h/w acceleration. and lags again ((((
Link to clip
Works perfectly here, no dropped frames, crisp sound both battery and charging. I'm on Revolution ROM, 51-1400MHz ondemand.
Tested MX player, QuickPic, Rock Player HW, HTC gallery player.
Rock player CPU is not up for it but HW mode is flawless.
So it must be something specific to your ROM and video drivers/codecs, you can try to push video drivers from revolution but nandroid backup first.

I installed, but the version has not changed

This ROM is no longer being developed, I have moved on to the Xperia Play. I will help as much as I can whenever I can.
Introduction
This is seriously the fastest X10 MIUI I have ever used after installing my many background apps for gaming, working, typing, browsing, everything. This is a production of my own kitchen and also seems to be 100% stable and very compatible in all my extensive tests. It is built upon FXP and MIUI UK's build of 2.4.20 (for the Incredible S). I am taking the time to research and test every small tweak out there for the X10 and hope to create a perfect stock-like MIUI ROM, which I think I have done - but I'll let you decide
Features:
- Supports many languages, including Right-To-Left
- Exclusive tweaks specific to the CosmicUI and the X10i (very snappy with multitasking)
- Uses WebKit Core and DalvikVM from FXP, providing the fastest MIUI ROM for X10 yet
- Aroma graphical installer with various options to suit your needs
- Native screenshot working with Menu + VolDown key
- Mi Button option to remap camera key
- "Performance" menu, based on CM7 Performance Menu, for setting CPU and CompCache settings
- Aroma Installer for customizing the install
Existing bugs/issues:
- Native Wifi Tether not working. Get "Wifi Tether" from Play Store, it works perfectly.
- Bootanimation Themes don't work
^ You can use standard method of replacing /system/media/bootanimation.zip with a root explorer or e.g. ROM Toolbox Pro
- Poor FPS when recording video
^ This is an issue with FXP-CM7. Don't know if this will ever be fixed since everyone is working on CM9 now.
- Pinch-zoom in MIUI Browser is broken, a side-effect of the FXP rendering engine (which is needed for the great speed).
^ You can still double-tap to zoom, I use Opera Mobile myself usually (seems faster).

Changelog:
v0.6.02.125
-----------
- Reverted from Oodie's MIUI Camera to original FXP-CM7 one, MIUI Camera breaks other camera apps and code scanners.
- Updated priority tweaks in an attempt to prevent music stuttering yet keep call lag to a minimum
v0.6.01.125
-----------
- Base updated to FXP-CM7-125, the last CM7-FXP release for X10
- RTL language support integrated, should work well.
- Multilanguage support. Some will fallback to English (should, let me know if it's Chinese) because the source translations were missing. If you want to report a missing translation, please help by finding another MIUI ROM which already has them.
- All APK/JAR files PNG optimized, zip-aligned and recompressed. Performance and memory improvements.
- Now using MIUI v1.x Camera, works well (credits to Oodie)
- Updated custom scripts/mods to work with Custom MTD in latest kCernel-CosmicMod-v3 kernel
- Fixed FC's on reboot bug from mod scripts
- Automatic-reboot implemented in mod scripts, no need for manual reboots anymore.
- New kernel randomly fixes Aroma pixel-shift issue. Strange one that bug was.
- Phone/Dialer app given high priority tweak, should help with call lag
- Attempted Native Wifi Tether fix (incomplete, different error now)
v0.5.01.124
-----------
- Base updated to FXP-CM7-124
- Finished 'Customize' option in Aroma installer, lets users change settings without reinstalling the ROM.
- Added some things to Elite install (and Elite Customization), such as "VM Profiles".
- Removed Wifi Tether from Aroma installer, get it from Play Store instead
^ I could not figure out how to fix native Wifi Tether, hopefully someone else can. Tip: Maybe something to do with the net code in framework.
- Changed kernel from original FXP to championswimmers' kCernel v01 (new versions).
^ Removed bootmanager and set recovery to Team UtterChaos Touch Recovery, it's more stable than FXP CWM Recovery
- Replaced MIUI Camera with CM7 Camera, I am not skilled enough to fix MIUI Camera for X10
- Reverted DalvikVM to original MIUI one, FXP's provided no visible benefits
^ Restored "reserveExternalMemory" functions in Gallery and Launcher2, might help battery life/performance (tested: nope)
- Reverted Vending.apk to original Market, integrating newest Play Store was causing problems (we should let it update)
- Updated CM7 WebKit/Net code injections to FXP-124
- Added "Launcher Mod" as a seperate option in Installer (in Customize, scroll-down)
v0.4.01.122
-----------
- Base updated to FXP-CM7-122
- Patched in FXP's WebKit Core and DalvikVM, MASSIVE performance and stability improvements
^ Please keep those bug reports coming, some internet functions may be broken (Facebook and Play Store work 100% in my tests)
- Fixed positioning and orientation (compass apps)
- Camera downgraded to a version with autofocus and location working 100%
^ Thanks to MongooseHelix, source: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15307536&postcount=167
- New CosmicUI bootanimation, selectable in new Aroma installer
- New kernel based on FXP-122, updated CWM-based Recovery binary
- Automatic time/date update fixed (changed NTP server to pool.ntp.org)
- Changed default theme to Suave HD by collins521 and some others, source @ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1330577
^ With permission of course. Using Light Version since it's more compatible. Original MIUI theme still included (just renamed).
- Updated Timezone/DST info to version 2012b (was 2010k)
- Updated to Google Play Store v3.5.19
- Added Aroma Installer with user-selectable options and such
- Integrated the MIUI Extended Settings with the ROM, selectable within Aroma customization
v0.3.01.121
-----------
- CM7 base updated to FXP-121
- MIUI Music downgraded to v1.4.22, pretty much identical to newest but with the buggy equalizer removed.
- Fixed native Screenshot
- Added "Mi Button" option under Settings > System > Buttons for remapping the Camera key
- Removed "Dock" from settings (useless)
- Changed default bootanimation (theming still not working for some reason, manually replace media/bootanimation.zip for now)
- Tweaked Dalvik VM (now much faster and more free memory)
^ Reverted some VM/swap values to CM7/FXP defaults (use an app like RAM Manager Pro if you want to tweak VM values)
- Replaced some libraries and binaries with FXP ones (seems to help stability and performance)
- Updated modded MIUI File Explorer to v2.3.7.32 (thanks again apooonet)
- "Allow purging of assets" in Performance settings enabled by default (helps RAM and lagging)
- Spare Parts, modified Launcher, Volume+ and 4-way reboot added to system ROM (Modpack no longer required for this)
^ Install the modpack now only if you want "MIUI Control Panel" and understand that it can cause issues for some users
- Updated install script with some helpful text and a cache format
v0.2.02.119
----------
- Auto HW-LED fix implemented (requires one reboot from fresh install)
- Capability (permissions) fixes
- Updated GPS settings (XTRA Server). My locks are now accurate to 3m! (was 10m)
- Gmail removed (I use K-9 Mail myself, get it from the Play Store if you want it)
- Enabled 16-bit transparency as default (fix scrolling lag)
- Changed max events per second of WindowsEvents to 26 (anything higher starts causing process saturation and decreases touch response).
- Moved swapping values to sysctrl configuration file so init.d scripts not made for low memory devices don't mess with them
v0.2.01.119
----------
- Additional stability fixes
- Replaced Torch with one from CM7, forced background to flat black color
^ Holding Home on lockscreen works yay =)
- Fixed USB Mounting
- Fixed Camera flash (video recording still slow as crap)
- Added a new offline-charging animation in the style of "Token icons", I really hate that colored candy crap See the credits for source!
- Replaced stock File Manager with the "Modified and Extended File Manager". See credits for link! Current version = v2.3.7.31
v0.2.00.119
----------
- Changed base to Incredible S (Defy's Texus Instruments chipset is too obscure to "fix")
- Performance and memory fixes
- Introduced compcache and swapping values that actually works well (unlike other MIUI's for X10)
^ Feel free to disable via Performance settings, but with a 1GHz CPU but tiny RAM I think that's a silly thing to do
- Fixed Wifi driver (custom FXP-based kernel with seperate Wifi modules required)
- Added "Performance" option under Settings > System for changing CPU settings and Compcache
^ Was first used in M&M Team MIUI v7. Thanks to Mao (M&M Team) for the custom icon
^ It is STRONGLY recommended to leave Compcache enabled for multitasking. P.S. Go Launcher sucks on RAM like a leech, if you want a sexy MIUI-like launcher with more features and an app draw I suggest QQ Launcher (it's what I use and it's top-stuff!)
v0.1.00.119
----------
- Initial test version
- Based on FXP119 and MIUI UK's v2.4.20 for the Motorola Defy (since it has an identical resolution)

Installation:
0) Factory Reset recommended if upgrading to v0.6.x
1) Flash baseband .71 if required (for X10i, this ROM is not tested on X10a)
2) Flash the kCernel CosmicMod (recommended), which is based on kCernel_v01 with 730MB on /data and OC capability, or alternatively use any FXP-based kernel (for advanced users), or the old one from 0.4 if you don't want a bigger /data partition for some reason (check my Mediafire folder). Wifi modules flash not needed. Note - CosmicUI kernel is based on kCernel, all credits go to champ.
3) Download the ROM CosmicUI-vx.x.xx.xxx ZIP (see newest version in "Downloads" below) and install in Recovery. Highly recommended to perform a Factory Reset. Also install any hotfixes after (you can reboot if you want, doesn't matter).
4) When the ROM loads, it will automatically reboot once/twice (depending on what customizations you chose).
5) If you get stuck at kernel logo after the install, repeat everything from step 1 again. Sometimes the X10 gets a bad flash.
Note: Do NOT use the old v0.3 Modpack ZIP with the new versions! v0.4 onwards use the graphical Aroma Installer that allows you to chose mods there.
Note 2: The new kernel uses Touch Recovery y DoomLord/Team UtterChaos. If you made Nandroid backups with FXP CWR on previous versions, it is 100% compatible with them. If you still want CWR and/or Bootmanager, use champs' original kCernel.
Downloads:
DO NOT MIRROR. If I find mirrors in Google I will remove this ROM from the public! An honest thank you to the various Middle-Eastern and Asian forums for linking to this original thread

If you are updating from v0.5 to v0.6 you may need to perform a Factory Reset to fix some things. At the very least, do a "Clear Data" for any app that FC's or performs strangely after update. Please do NOT report bugs if you have not done a Factory Reset in Recovery!
Screenshots:
(These are from the old v0.3, v0.4 onwards has a new default theme in the style of screenshot 6 and 7)
Description of each, in order -
01 - Desktop
02 - Settings > System > Performance menu
03 - Showing the new "Mi Button" option for remapping the Camera key (personally I like to have it set to MultiTasking Pro)
04 - Auto-Brightness settings disabled because it doesn't exist on the X10, and a reminder to reboot
05 - Music player (working 100% now, Equalizer removed completely but fade working)
06 - My personal (heavy) desktop setup. QQ Launcher, Beautiful Widgets, Minimalistic Text, Wifi Manager, and the shortcut icons is a widget from Folder Organizer (it allows smaller grid size than stock launcher icons, and resizes icons better quality than the Multicon Widget).
07 - Quadrant Benchmark with a number that doesn't really mean much... try the ROM yourself for the real feel
Reserved
All the best! Good luck!

Man, your work is going to shock us.
You know, I pretty agree that some tweaks are not really for our es209ra.
I always experienced some strange behaviors when compared to stock-based rom.

Haha, thanks... I just have a lot of free time and love the X10, time I put some skills in and give back to XDA for helping me out so much over the years.... feel free to test it everyone, I may come off as a "noob hater" with that big red text LOL but I am a nice guy.... just please understand that if you are too lazy to read or don't know how to use MIUI properly or what BETA means, be careful and don't insult me.... any help/testing is greatly appreciated...
EDIT: BTW for those wondering.... I have been using this for the past few days, fine tuning this release... I have a crap load of apps installed like I usually do, and it's responsive. Playing music in MIUI Player (with EQ and Fade disabled of course) while getting a call is fast, texting works, GPS locking is well, 3D gaming is decent, multitasking is the best I've ever seen... but I have gotten some strange "lags" after installing some fresh apps, a reboot fixed it. I think my swapping settings are a bit too hardcore. For the experienced out there, check/play my values in sysctl.conf if you like. Or just disable Compcache completely, but if you do that the Dialer and/or Messaging might be unresponsive.... I have not had a chance to test such things....
X10 is alive Thanks.
but is it ics?

Fair question I guess... no. CM9-FXP is nowhere near this stable yet, this is CM7-FXP119. [Updated title]

I would try this on Monday cuz I have to work on Saturday and Sunday, 12 hours each day(yeah yeah, it is mother's day)
(Other MIUI roms give strange behaviors )
Til now, all I have learnt is to do some minor mods on build.prop, gps.conf, vdd levels and swap2sys partition
I think this rom will be very smooth with swap2sys with swapiness zero (in fact, I am using this for stock based rom, it works well also
cheers,

The rom is beautiful and so far nothing has gone wrong
Is it for locked boot loader or unlocked ?
You had me at hello... lol
No really, you had me at "They are full of tweaks that are not for our device, some tweaks just don't make sense and/or cancel each other out, and they have bundled apps and mods which create more possibilities to go wrong."
I'm going to try your rom and report later (3-4 days)
thank you!

i'm 99% percent sure it's unlocked...
Many devs don't make roms for locked anymore since it was bad compared to unlocked...
Trying your rom. Getting Android Process acore stop all the time.
I am on unlocked boot loader.

Give thanks to Cobrato if this works for you.
I installed this rom today and everything has been great so far, everything has been working. However, I just tried to open an email with Gmail and i got a reboot. That is the first one and I have been on the phone non stop for about 3 hours.

This is an unofficial build of CyanogenMod 10 for the new Jelly Bean bootloader for the Transformer Prime.
As a start, the build dated Oct 13 2012 has the new bootloader and TWRP 2.3 for JB within the ROM so it can be installed on any device with a custom recovery, even if the device has the ICS bootloader or the TF300 bootloader... All future releases will not have the new bootloader or TWRP as part of the ROM.
For the most case, this ROM uses the official commits to the CyanogenMod 10 tree. The exceptions are the TF201 device specifics. Unlike the official CyanogenMod 10 builds, this ROM uses the new 3.1 Jelly Bean kernel and the new Jelly Bean drivers and proprietary files. I will stop this project once this becomes part of the official CM10. I will not release builds daily, rather ever 2-3 days.
Highlights of this ROM:
1) Android Jelly Bean 4.1.2 JZO54K
2) Built using the latest CM10 changes as of 30 Oct 2012 10:00AM Pacific Time (GitHub / Gerrit)
3) Uses the latest AndroidRoot TF201 device tree with the Jelly Bean 10.4.2.15 kernel (3.1) and proprietary files & drivers with some changes and additions by me (GitHub)
4) Needs the new Jelly Bean 10.4.2.15 bootloader [IMPORTANT: Flashing over an incorrect bootloader can permanently brick you device. The Oct 13 2012 build includes the bootloader upgrade and can be flashed over any ROM/bootloader]
5) HDMI audio/video streaming and bluetooth audio streaming (AVRCP 1.3 ready)
6) Camera and microphone
7) 4-way reboot menu (Reboot, Recovery, Fastboot & APX)
8) Includes all the files and changes need for the Google Widevine DRM [untested!!]
9) CIFS and NTFS (read-only) support
10) Fully functional dock and dock battery display
11) Removed CMUpdater
12) All other features of CyanogenMod 10 and Jelly Bean (full hardware acceleration, Project Butter, HD video, customisable notification toggles & many more)
13) Some custom addons and feature ports by me (see the individual build changelogs)...
New in Oct 30 2012 build:
1) Several device overlay updates and cleanups (bunch of updates for JB)
2) Auto-brightness turned off by default
3) Expanded desktop (hide/show Combined/Status Bar using the Power menu)
4) Cleaned-up & updated release tools script (this creates the zip packages)
5) Set correct permission for BtService.sh (Bluetooth DUN) script
6) Force NV_FPS_LIMIT to 60 for all performance modes
7) Device Advanced setting menu to set Asus performance modes (defaulted to Balanced). This is not for the CPU speed, rather the Tegra performance setting (cpuX.sh like functionality)
8) Fixed Torch
9) Updated device power profile based on official JB release
Highlights of the Google Apps Pack:
1) Uses the latest Android Jelly Bean 4.1.2 JZO54K Google Apps & Services from the Nexus 7 factory image
2) Includes the latest Play Store 3.9.16
3) Does not include any Google Apps available via the Play Store (GMail, Books, Google Now, etc. are not included)
Known issues:
1) Key layouts for certain regional keyboard may not work
2) Auto-brightness is funky [Use the app Lux for auto-brightness]
3) NTFS support is read-only
4) exFAT is not yet supported
Important:
1) Wipe data/factory reset if coming from another ROM (including the official CM10 nightlies)
2) Wipe cache/dalvik cache for every update
3) After flashing a build, it is a good idea to wait for 5-10 mins after bootup to allows everything to settle in
4) If you have not upgraded to the official Jelly Bean ROM yet, you will need to flash the Oct 13 2012 build or a stock JB ROM first to upgrade your bootloader, and then you may flash the latest build here.
5) Once you upgrade to this ROM, you will no longer be able to use the official CM10 nightlies till the new Jelly Bean changes are merged
6) Make sure you use a recovery compatible with the new Jelly Bean bootloader after flashing this ROM.
The usual 9 yards:
1) Have you read this post properly. Read it again!!
2) You need to have an unlocked bootloader
3) You need to have a custom recovery (CWM or TWRP)
4) It is a good idea to have enabled nvFlash (thanks to AndroidRoot) so that you can recover from almost any brick
5) Neither I, nor the CyanogenMod team, nor the AndroidRoot team take any responsibility if anythings goes wrong. Use at your own risk
6) Always make sure you create nandroid backups regularly

After two hours of frustration, I finally fixed the brick and installed the rom. I was happy to see the new boot animation and try out my SD card. Hopefully I'll have the time to do more testing later.
I dont get it, why is there 4 diferent teams/persons making CM10? wouldnt it be better that Team EOS, AndroidRoot, Makelegs and you join forces and bring a better and more stable unique rom?

Yes, you can. I've personally tryed... But, you have to flash both of the parts of a KK modem also: fsg.mbn and NON-HLOS.bin than do a: fastboot erase modemst1 and after fastboot erase modemst2 from bootloader. Bootloader (motoboot.img) and partition table (gpt.bin) you can't downgrade if it was upgraded with stock 5.1 ROM!
NEW STABLE & Definitive version in upload...
ok it looks great this rom.i take my moto x for a guy about 7 days ago with LP5.1
to be honest i like the ui of LP but the battery life in all KK devices is bettery than LP (for now)
so i will try it to see if this Rom is good us i see it....
i will send my feedback after 2-3 days.

I'm looking for a Moto X KK ROM with the stagefright patches, does the August 15th ROM include those? Is there still a newer Reflex KK release in the works? Honestly, just releasing a zip of all the updated KK stagefright libs would be hugely helpful to all 2013 Moto X owners who don't want LP. That way, anyone with root could patch whatever 4.4.4 ROM they were running. One guy did exactly that for the Nexus 5, but I'm not sure if those files will work properly on our Moto X. Both are ARMv7, but we have the dual core MSM8960DT chip vs the Nexus' quad core MSM8974AA, different GPU etc.
UPDATE: I bootlooped when I patched these new stagefright libs into a CM11 based Pac ROM, but your experience may differ.
Great work

ok so this is my report after 2 days with this great rom.
1)nice work with settings and xposed staff inside of settings.
2) nice work with kernel lowest MHz(189) and i/o.
Very good battery life (for the reason that I PLAY heavy games such as ingress who knows this game knows it wants beyond data and very good lasting battery.)almost touches of 2.5 hours on screen.
thing is to say that with this game for moto x is very good standby time battery.
small issues......
i find a small issue about this 2 days.
1)FC in gallery after i reboot my device....every time the same msg.(clean wipe and install rom)
small lag issues after deep sleep when a call is coming(but this probably happens because it is a very low frequency when the device is in deep sleep).
2)some times lost wifi data(the icon is ok but the data is dead..i test it more than 3 modems in in different shops and houses.)
you can probably blame and amplify the xposed or something similar.I will chek it again.
what I want to see in the next update if is possible
1)Greek Language
2) LP UI if this is possible ( and i don't say themes.... i say UI system, setting,featuring e.t.c).
3)add zen/sio in kernel i/o.
4)one steep more in max MHz like 1800 or 1900.
5)what ever you like .....hehe!!!!
i will keep send you feedback if i find anything else.

:good::good:
A fast, smooth running Galaxy S2 GT-I9100 with Nougat 7.1.1, is it possible? Sure, but it is best not to use the latest ROM build. After many tests and comparisons of various Nougat ROMs based on LineageOS I've found out this. The development of the ROM is ongoing very quick, but it's made for many devices. The performance of the CPU is not taken into account. Our S2 is now some years old (since 2011) and has only a CPU with two cores. Standard today is at least a phone with quad core CPU.
Comparing a Nougat 7.1.1 ROM from February 2017 with a current build clearly shows you that the older one runs much faster. This is mainly noticeable when scrolling or if you open apps. In the current ROM there are often lags, it simply needs more performance.
To get the maximum out, a few tweaks with a modded Kernel Adiutor from XDA are necessary, the CPU frequency is set to minimum and maximum 1200 MHz. The battery drain of course is a bit higher - not much, but you have more joy with a smooth running S2.
What do you need for this?
I did made the best experience with AICP 12.1 ROM, build in February 07 2017. you get it here. It runs very stable for daily usage. Only the camera app Snap.apk is buggy at video recordings. You can change this by installing the latest one in my attachment.
The modded XDA Kernel Adiutor is attached too.
The CPU and ondemand governor settings (CPU Governor Tunables) you see on my screenshots. Make sure that the "Apply on boot" toggle is set to on.

Jelly Bean has its own, "built-in" recovery. Unfortunately, I am not aware of whether you can take another recovery for it. I know there is a flashable CWM recovery via Odin for the S2 (I have it here). But this is intended for flashing custom ROMs.

I allways used this file "PhilZ-cwm6-XXLSJ-OXX-4.00b21-signed-JB.zip" and installed it via stock Recovery. (no waranty void message after rebooted system). Copy this file on your SDCard, reboot in Recovery Mode and flash it. Now you can keep runing your device on stock ROM or you can install a custom one with this recovery.

Compared with the latest AICP 12.1 build from 07/10 it's not necessary to jump back to this older version. The performance from all latest Lineage based ROMs became better. The only thing I use the Kernel Adiutor with the performance settings from my first post. I think you can also use the latest official plain vanilla Lineage 7.1.2.
Hi,
thanx for your instructions. I have tried it!
One problem with the setting where i'm unsure: at the end of the settings, the core2 disabled itself and the minimum frequency was set to 100 automatically. I changed the frequency back to 12.000. Is that OK, or should i leave it at 100 ?
btw. I still have installed stock_kernel_twrp_1120. Is that OK, or do i need another kernel?
Anyway, at this point the CPU tweak has made the perforance a little faster, but it's still much worse than Android 4.12
On 4.12 i was running 5 aktive apps the same time without problems. (Navi, RadarWarning, Mp3, GPSLog, + 1 temporarly app)
On Lineage 14.1 the Mp3 already beginns to stutter and the systems gets very slow when i run only 2 Apps. If i start more apps they beginn to chrash.
So i want to ask, is it possible somehow to get the same (or even better) performance with a custom rom like with the original stock 4.12 ?
Thanks for Info,
Rooster
Hi,
hmm - all settings are correct from the governor like the screenshots in Kernel Adiutor? Both CPU frequencies should set to 1200 MHz. In idle time core 2 stops to save battery, but it must switch up at load to 1200 MHz automatically.
The stock_kernel_twrp_1120 is okay to install this ROM. If you boot in recovery after installation you must see the newer TWRP 3.0.2-1 and you can flash the latest TWRP 3.1.0-0 as an .img file.
The problem with Nougat and most modern apps is, the generally RAM consumption gets higher and higher - that's the biggest bottleneck. So the S2 with only 784 MB comes faster to its limits at multitasking than with the latest stock ROM 4.1.2 Jelly Bean and older, more slim apps. Unfortunately there is no chance to get a higher performance with Nougat. There you feel the age of our good old phone from 2011, it came first with Android 2.3.x Gingerbread
Hello A6 users! I present you my first custom kernel for this phone. It has some pretty cool features. They are:
● Prerooted with Magisk 18.1
● SELinux Permissive
● Deleted all kinds of security measures like DM-Verity, RMM, Knox, TIMA, defex
● 5V/2A charging support (needs charger and cable that can supply it)
● CPU overclock to 1.7GHz (original 1.6)
● GPU overclock to 1.3GHz (original 1.0)
● Fsync on/off support
● CRC on/off support
● SafetyNet patched
● Overclock screen refresh rate to 64Hz
● CPU and GPU undervolt for optimal battery life and thermals

Installation instructions
1. You need a custom recovery installed like TWRP, a link to can be found here. Follow the instructions carefully and strictly to install it.
2. Boot into TWRP then go to Install and navigate to the kernel zip file. Click on it and swipe to install. Everything will go automatically.
3. Once it finishes you are basically done, reboot your phone and enjoy.
And finally, here are some screenshots from my fellow testers:

Q&AQ: Why is my OEM Unlock turned off?
A: Don't worry about it. Some weird stuff happening there, it's still on tho.
Q: Will you add AOD?
A: No. Not because I don't want, because it's impossible. Trust me, me and other devs tried alot.
Q: Will you add X feature?
A: If it's possible to add and if it's not stupid.
Join here to get updates about my kernelI have made a Telegram channel for updates on my kernel, maybe betas too.

For reporting bugsSo if there occurs a bug in the kernel, here are what you should do to help me fix that. Remember I work without a device so I can't replicate bugs myself.
1. Write your phone's model number
2. Write your phone's CSC code
3. Write your security patch level
4. Do you have any magisk modules installed?
5. Explain the issue with details
6. Replicate the issue, then boot straight to TWRP. From there go to Advanced > File Manager and navigate to /proc. Then find a file named last_kmsg, copy that to your internal storage or SDcard and upload it somewhere then send it in my XDA PM or Telegram PM at username MITKO7411XD

Working on A600G.
Working perfectly with A600G latest update.
For faster charging, I don't see any improvement. Still stuck at 1.500mA like stock kernel. Testing using Samsung Adaptive Charger and Asus Zenfone 2 fast charger.

Thank you for testing! I could try to add Adaptive fast charging but i don't wanna risk explosion :laugh: Plus i don't have this phone. I mainly did the faster charging for people with stock A6 chargers.

thank you. hopefully for A6+ series also
my opinion fast charging not really necessary, for A6+ charging already fast and i prefer to choose default speed charging and long lasting battery than modified/faster charging but degrade battery life span.
so, for this "fast" charging feature thing, you better make 2 version of kernel... (default and modified charging speed)

Sadly, I will not support A6+ because it's a completely different phone with a Snapdragon 450 chip. I work on Exynos7870 phones, specifically this A6. About the fast charging, its up to the user how well they want to treat their battery. With faster charging or not, don't think the difference will be that big since the limitation is the charger. For example, I used to always charge my phone from my PC because it has low current and limit my battery to charge only to 80%. Now i only do the 80% thing but still. My J5 17 is 9 months old and it has only lost 200mAh of its battery capacity.
Phoenix Kernel V1.5 released. Changelog, Download link and a new antutu screenshot is in the 1st post
Hello, I have installed the kernel v1.5 on my Samsung sm-a600g. But the GPU is underclocked to 728 mh. But according to your post it should be overclocked to 1146 mh.

According to my post, the 1146Mhz overclock is optional.
Although I think the default clock is 1001 so i still have to fix it
Hi Renoxtv, I really appreciate your work u have done for the improvement of Samsung a6. But I request you to not only fix the GPU clock but also I think It would be great to have the GPU overclocked to 1146 mhz. Bcoz it has only one core and for gaming performance it MUST be overclocked to 1146 mhz. Hoping the best from you.

GPU OC is optional and will remain optional, I don't want complains about battery life. You can overclock your GPU manually with this app: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1tnWJvqhvj3s41V1LMRdrtyGYCsLEwNbV/view?usp=sharing (thanks for @DarkLord1731 for app)
Go to GPU tab, select min and max GPU frequency to 1146, set Mali Power policy to always_on and set GPU governor to Booster. Revert settings when you are done with your gaming, otherwise the GPU will always run at 1146MHz even when you're not playing and it will waste your battery. Anyway, A6 is not a gaming phone in any means and this kernel won't improve it a lot. I know the GPU OC is a little complicated but for now this is what we are stuck with
Hi Renoxtv, thank you for replying so fast. I downloaded the kernel control app u provided in ur post. Everything gone as u told. Thanks to @DarkLord1731 too for his amazing kernel app. Now I can overclock the GPU as per my requirements. U are right that Samsung A6 is not the handset for gamers. But due to ur custom kernel the little overclocking in CPU and GPU will surely improve the gaming performance a bit. By the way keep up the good work and best of luck to u. :good:

If you already rooted your A6 before, installing the kernel is easy. You just download the latest kernel and flash it with TWRP. If you haven't rooted your phone, you must install custom TWRP recovery menu, go here to go to the TWRP thread, there are detailed instructions on how to install TWRP there, follow them strictly. If you successfully installed TWRP, you can then flash this kernel like you would install the rmm bypass zip and no-verity zip.
