HOW TOs
HOW TO PLAY WITH THIS KERNEL
Terminal emulator or ADB shell is needed.
If any command outputs 'Permission denied', you need su permission.
`???` stands for the number to input.
Sometimes you will need to mount and unmount debugfs partition:
For mounting it:
Code:
mount -t debugfs debugfs /d
For unmounting it:
Code:
umount /d
Boot time:
To check boot time:
Code:
cat /sys/boottime/kernel
CPU governors:
Performance, Interactive (default), Powersave, Userspace, Conservative, InteractiveQ, PegasusQ, HotPlug, OnDemandQ, OnDemand, AbyssPlug, LulzactiveQ, SmartAssv2
- OnDemand has been patched with cpu idle detection.
- Most of custom governors are based on ondemand/interactive.
- OndemandQ/InteractiveQ will hotplug cpu when screen turns off only.
- If you care about the battery life time, choose HotPlug. It hotplugs cpu frequently.
- Interactive updated to linux-android-3.4 (recommended).
- LulzactiveQ, will hotplug CPU1.
I/O schedulers:
SIO, SIO-Plus, VR, BFQ, CFQ, NO-OP, ZEN, ROW, Deadline
- Default IO scheduler: SIO-Plus
- SIO/ROW/SIO-Plus recommended!
FRandom module:
Code:
insmod /system/lib/modules/frandom.ko
chmod 0666 /dev/frandom
chmod 0666 /dev/erandom
mv /dev/random /dev/random.orig
mv /dev/urandom /dev/urandom.orig
ln -s /dev/frandom /dev/random
ln -s /dev/frandom /dev/urandom
Deepest sleep state:
Stock: 3 Default: 3
Deepest supported is 5.
Mount debugfs
To change deepest sleep state:
Code:
echo 5 > /d/cpuidle/deepest_state
- HotPlug governors works badly with 5.
- OnDemand works well with 5.
- Please note that it won’t increase the using time but standby time.
- You can add an init.d script to tweak it if you want.
To check the cpuidle state:
Code:
cat /d/cpuidle/stats
Management of not killable processes:
This feature allows to define processes and system processes white-lists filled with the preferred process names and to not be killed by lowmemorykiller, unless it is absolutely necessary.
This feature exposes four new lowmemorykiller parameters:
- donotkill_proc, is the flag to enable / disable this feature for the processes chosen by the user
- donotkill_sysproc, is the flag to enable / disable this feature for the system processes chosen by the user
- donotkill_proc_names, is the list of process names (comma separated) chosen by the user to be preserved from killing
- donotkill_sysproc_names, is the list of user system process names (comma separated) chosen by the user to be preserved from killing
When the lowmemorykiller needs to free ram, it will first kill the processes not included inside the two process name lists chosen by the user.
If there are no more standard killable processes, then it will be necessary to kill one of the processes included inside one of the two white-lists, to prevent system hangs, slowdowns, etc.
How to customize the white lists of processes to preserve from killing:
- Run these commands if you want to enable the feature
Code:
# To enable this feature for the processes chosen by the user
echo 1 > /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/donotkill_proc
# To enable this feature for the system processes chosen by the user
echo 1 > /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/donotkill_sysproc
- Run these commands if you want to disable the feature
Code:
# To disable this feature for the processes chosen by the user
echo 0 > /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/donotkill_proc
# To disable this feature for the system processes chosen by the user
echo 0 > /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/donotkill_sysproc
- Run this command if you want to add, for example, Trebuchet Launcher (CM default launcher) and the default keyboard to the processes white list
Code:
echo "com.cyanogenmod.trebuchet,android.inputmethod.latin" > /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/donotkill_proc_names
- Run this command if you want to add, for example, the system process, the phone process and DSP Manager to the system processes white list
Code:
echo "android.process.acore,com.android.phone,com.bel.android.dspmanager" > /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/donotkill_sysproc_names
zRAM:
zRAM is optimized for Android. It is not lazy anymore. Recommended zRAM instead of SWAP.
Using zRAM will take a little CPU, because it needs to compress/decompress memory.
Recommended compressing about 18% of RAM, about 100MB.
Setup disk size first: (example: 200MB)
Code:
echo $((200 * 1024 * 1024)) > /sys/block/zram0/disksize
- Larger size more RAM will be compressed.
- Too large size might make phone lag
To enable:
Code:
mkswap /dev/block/zram0
swapon /dev/block/zram0
To check how many does it use:
Code:
cat /sys/block/zram0/num_reads
cat /sys/block/zram0/num_writes
cat /proc/meminfo | grep swap
- We can get other info in its sysfs
Swap:
Using a file as swap RAM: (Create a continuity file first)
Code:
su
cd /cache
dd if=/dev/zero of=swapfile bs=1024 count=81920
mkswap swapfile
swapon swapfile
Then we will have 80MB of swap RAM.
Cycle Charging Control:
Similar to BLX by Ezekeel. It can be used to limit the battery charging level.
Example: Limit the battery level at 70% ~ 75%
Enable:
Code:
echo on > /sys/kernel/abb-fg/fg_cyc
Disable:
Code:
echo off > /sys/kernel/abb-fg/fg_cyc
Discharging threshold (battery level %):
Code:
echo dischar=75 > /sys/kernel/abb-fg/fg_cyc
Recharging threshold:
Code:
echo dischar=70 > /sys/kernel/abb-fg/fg_cyc
Real charged notification:
Well, please let me call it notification.
To be honest, it needs to check manually:
Code:
cat /sys/kernel/abb-chargalg/eoc_status
- You can use Root Browser to view these files in /sys/kernel/abb-chargalg
- When it says "First eoc reached", then the UI should show you charged 100%, but it is not the real full charged.
- When it says the real EOC reached, unplug the charger.
POnKey Emulator:
This is the software emulator of power key.
To turn off screen: ( 20 < value(ms) < 520 )
Code:
echo 100 > /sys/kernel/abb-ponkey/emulator
To active the power menu: ( 520 < value(ms) < ∞)
Code:
echo 800 > /sys/kernel/abb-ponkey/emulator
ABBamp Audio:
Please note that listening to too high volume music over 1 hour or more can damage your ears.
Too high volume can make your external speakers/headset overload or damage them.
First, why is it called `AMP`?
Because most of our tweaks are about gain(volume)
Our codec is simple, It doesn't have any hardware EQ (although i want...)
ABBamp sysfs entries are in:
/sys/kernel/abb-codec
- Use Root Browser to view this folder,there are lots files
Tweaks will take effects immediately!
Most tweaks will accept inputs like "on", "off" (no quotes)...
So, say "on" to enable this tweak, then this tweak will apply the value stored/inputed
View (cat) these files, most of them will give you useful information about this tweak.
They will show you the volume in dB of gain
`cd` to /sys/kernel/abb-codec first then do echos, will be more convenient.
AnaGain3 (Headset analog gain path):
Enable tweaks:
Code:
echo on > /sys/kernel/abb-codec/anagain3
Disable tweaks:
Code:
echo off > /sys/kernel/abb-codec/anagain3
Gain control: (min:0 ,max: 15) Lower value,higher volume (default: 0[+4dB])
Code:
echo left=?? > /sys/kernel/abb-codec/anagain3
echo right=?? > /sys/kernel/abb-codec/anagain3
Write both left and right channels:
Code:
echo gain=?? > /sys/kernel/abb-codec/anagain3
HsLDigGain (Headset left digital path gain):
Enable tweaks:
Code:
echo on > /sys/kernel/abb-codec/hsldiggain
Disable tweaks:
Code:
echo off > /sys/kernel/abb-codec/hsldiggain
Gain control: (min:0 ,max: 15) Lower value,higher volume (default: 4[+4dB])
Code:
echo gain=?? > /sys/kernel/abb-codec/hsldiggain
HsRDigGain (Headset right digital path gain):
Enable tweaks:
Code:
echo on > /sys/kernel/abb-codec/hsrdiggain
Disable tweaks:
Code:
echo off > /sys/kernel/abb-codec/hsrdiggain
Gain control: (min:0 ,max: 15) Lower value,higher volume (default: 4[+4dB])
Code:
echo gain=?? > /sys/kernel/abb-codec/hsrdiggain
Headset Volume Table:
value | volume
0.......+8dB (maximum)
1.......+7dB
2.......+6dB
3.......+5dB
4.......+4dB (tweaks default)
5.......+3dB
6.......+2dB
7.......+1dB
8.......+0dB (device default)
>=9....mute
- If set up digital path +4dB, analog gain +4dB, the result will get over +8dB
HsLowPow (Headset driver low power mode):
This lowpow mode is enabled by device normally.
If you want high performance audio instead of LPA(low power audio) you can disable it.
Enable tweaks:
Code:
echo on > /sys/kernel/abb-codec/hslowpow
Disable tweaks:
Code:
echo off > /sys/kernel/abb-codec/hslowpow
To tweak the mode (0: disable LP mode, 1: enable LP mode)
Code:
echo mode=? > /sys/kernel/abb-codec/hslowpow
HsDacLowPow (Headset DAC low power mode):
DAC is Digital-to-Analong Converter.
This lowpow mode is enabled by device normally.
Enable tweaks:
Code:
echo on > /sys/kernel/abb-codec/hsdaclowpow
Disable tweaks:
Code:
echo off > /sys/kernel/abb-codec/hsdaclowpow
To tweak the mode (0: disable LP mode, 1: enable LP mode)
Code:
echo mode=? > /sys/kernel/abb-codec/hsdaclowpow
HsHpEn (Headset high pass filter):
This high pass filter is disabled by device normally.
Enable this can reduce some sub-noise of audio.
Enable tweaks:
Code:
echo on > /sys/kernel/abb-codec/hshpen
Disable tweaks:
Code:
echo off > /sys/kernel/abb-codec/hshpen
To tweak the mode (0: disable highpass filter, 1: enable highpass filter)
Code:
echo mode=? > /sys/kernel/abb-codec/hshepen
Besides, the file anaconf1 will shows you the status of LPA
ClassDHPG (ClassD high-pass gain):
ClassD is a kind of amplifier.
According to the documents, our ClassD only relate to Handsfree(speaker).
This can increase the high frequencies sound of speaker
Enable tweaks:
Code:
echo on > /sys/kernel/abb-codec/classdhpg
Disable tweaks:
Code:
echo off > /sys/kernel/abb-codec/classdhgp
Gain control: (min:0 ,max: 10) higher value,higher gain (default: 10[Max gain])
Code:
echo gain=?? > /sys/kernel/abb-codec/classdhpg
ClassDDithWGain:
Gain control for the white component of dithering filter
Enable tweaks:
Code:
echo on > /sys/kernel/abb-codec/classdwg
Disable tweaks:
Code:
echo off > /sys/kernel/abb-codec/classdwp
Gain control: (min:0 ,max: 10) higher value,higher gain (default: 10[Max gain])
Code:
echo gain=?? > /sys/kernel/abb-codec/classdwg
ADDigGain2:
This is the audio path of mic2(phone mic, not headset mic)
This tweak will enable automatically when mic2 is enabled by device
Enable tweaks:
Code:
echo on > /sys/kernel/abb-codec/addiggain2
Disable tweaks:
Code:
echo off > /sys/kernel/abb-codec/addiggain2
Gain control: (min:0 ,max: 63) lower value, higher gain (default: [+6dB], max: 00[+31dB])
Code:
echo gain=?? > /sys/kernel/abb-codec/addiggain2
EarDigGain:
This is the digital gain of earpiece
Enable tweaks:
Code:
echo on > /sys/kernel/abb-codec/eardiggain
Disable tweaks:
Code:
echo off > /sys/kernel/abb-codec/eardiggain
Gain control: (min:0 ,max: 15) lower value,higher gain (default: 4[+4dB])
Code:
echo gain=?? > /sys/kernel/abb-codec/classdwg
- It uses the same path of HsLDigGain,please check the volume table of HsLDigGain
- +8 dB might crash the sound of earpiece
ShortCirConf:
Code:
This is a misc tweak
View shortcir this file first
[7] EnShortPWD
0: Automatic switch off on short circuit detection is disabled
1: Automatic switch off on short circuit detection is enabled
[6] EarShortDis
0: Short circuit detection on Ear driver enabled
1: Short circuit detection on Ear driver disabled
[5] HsShortDis
0: Short circuit detection on HsL and HsR drivers enabled
1: Short circuit detection on HsL and HsR drivers disabled
[4] HsPullDEn
0: HsL and HsR outputs are in high impedance
1: HsL and HsR outputs are pulled down to ground
[2] HsOscEn (ABBamp enables it by default)
0: The HS drivers use the system clock
1: The HS drivers use a local oscillator (system clock absent: analog path only)
[1] HsFadDis
0: All intermediate steps are applied between two programmed gains (fading)
1: Gain on HS is applied immediately
[0] HsZcdDis
0: HS gain changes on signal zero cross (unless time-out occurs)
1: HS gain is changed without zero cross control
[CODE]echo ?? ?? > /sys/kernel/abb-codec/shortcir
- The first ?? the slot of each option,the second ?? stands for the value to write to this slot
- View shortcir this file,you will get it[/CODE]
AnaConf4:
This interface controls the enables of analog path
We can use it to disable Speaker in kernel level.
So that you don't have to use the "mute all sound" in system settings,
Because, "mute all sound" will also mute Earpiece, which is inconvenient for us in calls.
Command format: Check anaconf4 first, This interface is a bit different from others:
Code:
echo [Index] [Disable?] > anaconf4
To Disable Speaker:
Code:
echo 5 1 > anaconf4
To Enable Speaker:
Code:
echo 5 0 > anaconf4
Headset Charge Pump:
Code:
echo 0 > chargepump to use fixed 1.8V supply.
echo 1 > chargepump to use dynamic voltage supply, lower power cost.
Lower-power Audio Mode:
Code:
echo on > lpa_mode to enable LPA mode
echo vape=0x?? > lpa_mode to adjust Vape voltage used in LPA mode
Experts!:
This method can work on any ab850x codec platform!
Mount debugfs
cd /d/asoc/U8500-card/ab8500-codec.0
Play music, reduce the volume.
Now we are going to edit the codec registers.
Code:
echo REG VAL > codec_reg
E.G:
AnaGain3:
Code:
echo 0x16 0x00 > codec_reg
HsDigGain: (left/right channel)
Code:
echo 0x4F 0x00 > codec_reg
echo 0x50 0x00 > codec_reg
Disable all lowpow mode:
Code:
echo 0x04 0x00 > codec_reg
- These hacks will restore when codec power off.
Camera LED Flash:
Turn on torch with more brightness, turning this on for a long time will heat up your device, be careful!
Enable/Disable:
Code:
echo 1/0 > /sys/devices/platform/nmk-i2c.2/i2c-2/2-0053/torch_enable
echo 149600 > /sys/devices/platform/nmk-i2c.2/i2c-2/2-0053/torch_current
FSync control:
Get current status:
Code:
cat /sys/kernel/fsync/mode
FSYNC modes:
0: fsync on
1: fsync off
2: fsync dyn
Disable FSYNC:
Code:
echo 1 > /sys/kernel/fsync/mode
Disabling fsync can improve I/O performance, but it can make the data which hasn't been written lose when a sudden power cut occurs.
Enable Dynamic FSYNC:
Code:
echo 2 > /sys/kernel/fsync/mode
- Dynamic fsync will sync all buffers when screen turns off.
- If there is a heavy I/O load, the screen might get stuck for seconds.
Mali GPU:
Mali debug level:
Disabling can speed up a bit
Code:
echo 0 > /sys/module/mali/parameters/mali_debug_level
- Higher level, more messages will be printed in dmesg, system will slow down
Mali L2 max reads control: (Stock:28kb,Default:48kb(max))
Code:
echo xx > /sys/module/mali/parameters/mali_l2_max_read
- Some values will slow down graphics
- If not sure, keep default
Mali PM sampling rate: (Default: 1000ms)
Code:
echo xx > /sys/module/mali/parameters/mali_pm_sampling_rate
Mali PP scheduler tweaks: (Default: disable)
Code:
echo 1 > /sys/module/mali/parameters/mali_pp_scheduler_balance_jobs
- Enabling this, some places will over ahead, choose by yourself
Mali Utilization sampling rate: (Stock:500ms, Default:1000ms)
How often report a mali utilization.
Code:
echo xxx > /sys/module/mali/parameters/mali_utilization_sampling_rate
- Keep this default if unsure.
Mali utilization control:
(Default: low_to_high 192 high_to_low 64)
Our driver will report a mali utilization frequently.
This utilization(range: 0~255) means the load of mali.
If utilization is bigger than low_to_high, driver will request higher hardware performance(highest APE/DDR OPP).
If utilization is smaller than high_to_low, the driver will store the requested OPP(uses low OPP).
OPP can be understood as freq simply.
To check mali utilization values:
Code:
echo 5 > /sys/module/mali/parameters/mali_debug_level
cat /proc/kmsg | grep -i utilization
When it says SIGNAL_HIGH, it will request highest OPP.
When it says SIGNAL_LOW, it will request lowest OPP.
Press Ctrl+C to stop printing.
You can reduce low_to_high to trigger higher OPP requirement.
For smoothness and less powersaving:
Set low_to_high between 100-192.
Code:
echo 120 > mali_utilization_low_to_high
Mali max preemptive allocated max memory size:
Default is 16mb(16*1024*1024), bigger max size more throughput.
But when this value is too big, no more throughput.
For example: 48mb = 48*1024*1024
Code:
echo 50331648 > /sys/module/mali/parameters/pre_allocated_memory_size_max
Mali OS Kernel memory allocation order:
The lower value, the higher preference of allocating OS memory.
The default value is 6, I decreased it to 9 to fix OS memory allocation failure.
If you feel laggy, try 6 (default by driver)
Code:
echo 6 > /sys/module/mali/parameters/mali_oskmem_allocorder
TCP congestions:
Supported:
cubic(default), westwood, highspeed, vegas, veno, yeah
To check all the available options:
Code:
busybox sysctl net.ipv4.tcp_available_congestion_control
To change to other option:
Code:
busybox sysctl -w net.ipv4.tcp_congestion_control=YOU_WANT_TO
Latency - Download - Upload
cubic:
1st run: 15ms - 10,75Mbps - 7,82Mbps
2nd run: 14ms - 10,84Mbps - 8,06Mbps
westwood:
1st run: 11ms - 17,65Mbps - 8,30Mbps
2nd run: 13ms - 13,28Mbps - 8,29Mbps
highspeed:
1st run: 13ms - 10,76Mbps - 7,94Mbps
2nd run: 16ms - 14,42Mbps - 8,52Mbps
vegas:
1st run: 14ms - 8,49Mbps - 6,62Mbps
2nd run: 14ms - 12,00Mbps - 7,07Mbps
veno:
1st run: 13ms - 9,58Mbps - 8,13Mbps
2nd run: 13ms - 8,50Mbps - 7,64Mbps
yeah:
1st run: 14ms - 13,37Mbps - 8,28Mbps
2nd run: 17ms - 13,89Mbps - 8,14Mbps
- In fact, every congestion is designed for different environments.
- Google to learn more!
EGL Driver:
To use Mali hardware egl driver only:
Edit /system/lib/egl.cfg
0 0 android
0 1 mali
To
0 0 mali
Then remove libGLES_android.so
- Recommend to backup these files
- In case it cannot boot,use TWRP file manager to recover changes
Logcat:
Create a new file(empty file) named logger in /data
When this file exists, kernel will load logger.ko for you automatically
Miscellaneous:
To refresh battery stats:
Code:
echo 1 > /sys/kernel/abb-fg/fg_refresh
Almost all tweaks will be restored to default after reboots.
So you can make your tweaks as init.d scripts or make scripts with SManager app to apply them at boot.
OK, it's booted.
Gonna try more.
Very laggy after flashing. I followed all the installation steps correctly.
Downloading now
Works excellent on CM11!
Will report soon battery life

Real charged notification:
Well, please let me call it notification.
To be honest, it needs to check manually:
Code:
cat /sys/kernel/abb-chargalg/eoc_status
- You can use Root Browser to view these files in /sys/kernel/abb-chargalg
- When it says "First eoc reached", then the UI should show you charged 100%, but it is not the real full charged.
- When it says the real EOC reached, unplug the charger.
And, can you explain what's this? -

The P(ower)OnKey Emulator emulates the power button (a short value turns on/off the screen and a long value opens the power menu), you probably won't be using this very often, but it is useful to have it just if it's needed.

( Installation )
If you have never installed a custom kernel on device:
You can:
1. Extract the latest kernel.bin.md5 from the zip, and installed it via Universal Kernel Flasher.
2. Use dd method below to install a custom kernel, and also you will have a custom recovery.
3. Make a Odin flashable package to flash custom kernel which will increase custom binary counter.
[Universal Kernel Flasher]
Thanks Frapeti for this tool!
[DD method]:
You need to ROOT your phone first.
1. Download kernel zips
2. Extract kernel.bin.md5 from zips
3. Copy kernel.bin.md5 to somewhere you like (e.g. /sdcard)
4. Open Terminal app,use these commands
Now lets go to superuser mode
su
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now lets flash(dd) kernel to kernel partition
dd if=/sdcard/kernel.bin.md5 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p15
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
5. Reboot to take effects
reboot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
* If you type a wrong dd command,it might hard birck your phone
So please think twice before hit enter
* WARNING: Think twice before you hit Enter,
some people bricked their phone because of a wrong command.
* Recommend SAFER recovery method
* It is recommended that check the md5 of kernel.bin.md5
If it doesnt match 'md5.txt' in zips,dont flash to phone.
Please re-download zips
[Recovery method]:
CoCore-E 4.0+ will only provide flashable zips.
Please flash custome recovery kernel first(3.3 or others).
Press Vol.Up + Home + Power to go to recovery.
Then choose zips in external/internal sdcard to flash.
( Uninstall )
Flash stock kernel to uninstall
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p17 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p15

Click to collapse
Q: Why my phoen lags after booting in some minutes?!
A: Media Scanner is running in the background. More media files(especailly HD videos),more time it will take
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Q: Why my phone cannot go to deep sleep when screen is off!!!
A: Fix it youself. It is app(s) taking the wakelock. Not kernel.

Click to collapse
Q: Do I need to wipe anything when flashing this kernel?
A: NO
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Q: My phone rebooted suddenly!!! What can i do?!
A: Give me /proc/last_kmsg and logcat. Will try my best to fix.

Click to collapse
Q: Do i need to wipe data or dalvik caches?
A: No.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Q: Hey!Your kernel has issue!No-fills CPU shows me a wrong freqs!Fix it!
A: This is NOT issue.Every I9070 kernel will have this problem.Because No-fills will show you Dynamic Min/Max scaling freqs,DVFS(dynamic voltage and frequency system) will adjust Min/Max freq according to system load.
Open SetCPU,it shows you real freqs.Or check sysfs directly.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Q: My GPS doesnt work!?
A: Our Kernel only provides a trigger of enabling the GPIOs of GPS.It doesnt have GPS driver.
So check it in setting menu or try to reboot to fix or try to edit the region server of your GPS,remember to enable Wireless Position
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Q: The audio volume is tooooo low in calls!!
A: My teammates diego and frapeti confirmed that this is baseband issue.
Flash newer firewares(at least LQB) or flash newer baseband directly.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Q: Hey my phone still lags after startup!
A: 1) Select another governor 2) Install Elixir(an app),tap Running,Select CPU usage filter,check which app(s) is taking cpu load!Then kill them.
In most caes,download provider is the battery and performance dainer! It runs when you download a file in browser like Chrome,it has a
serivice named Media Scanner,so dont remove it,just kill it.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Q: My phone cannot charge properly!
A: This is caused by your cable. Our usb switch driver has bugs right now(stock kernel too). We are fixing it. See here

( HOW-TO )
HOW-TO play with this kernel.
Terminal is needed.
If you get 'Permission denied', you need su permission.
If the devices lost responses, hold power button 8s to reboot.
Simply,You can cd to the folder first,then do echos.
Then `???` stands for the number to input.
It's a good idea that use SManager to add widgets on the launcher to switch tweaks!
I have uploaded my scripts in POST#5
( Boot time )
CoCore-E boots faster than stock normally.
Stock: 8000ms - 8500ms
CoCore-E: 7800ms - 8000ms
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
To check boottime
cat /d/boottime/summary
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
* TWRP kernel boottime is longer(around 8000ms). Because of that big ramdisk!
( Bootanimation )
Put bootanimation.zip in /system/media/.
Recommend you changing the permission to 0666.
If there is no bootanimation.zip, kernel will show Samsung's.
( CPU governors )
Performance, OnDemand(default), Powersave,
Userspace, Conservation, Interactive, InteractiveQ, PegasusQ, PegasusQPlus, HotPlug, OnDemandQ, AbyssPlug,
Smartassv2, Zzmoove, LulzactiveQ
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
* OnDemand has been patched cpu idle detection
* PegasusQ is taken from SiyahKernel (new version)
* PegasusQ recommended
* Most of custom governors are based on ondemand/interactive
* OndemandQ/InteractiveQ will hotplug cpu when screen turns off only.
* If you mind the battery life time, choose HotPlug. It hotplugs cpu frequently.
* Interactive updated to linux-android-3.4 [Thanks! Aditya!]
* Zzmoove is the new version(0.3)
* LulzactiveQ, it will hotplug CPU1
( CPUFREQ - DVFS )
Samsung DVFS is disabled by default now, since it conflicts with new cpufreq table.
Now we have took back the cpufreq control.
Use CPU control APP like SetCPU, no-frills CPU to set min/max cpufreq.
I created some fake interfaces in /sys/power/, so Power Saving mode still works.
To change the Power Saving max cpufreq: (default: 800MHz)
echo 600000 > /sys/power/cpufreq_dvfs_powersave
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
( LiveOPP - CPU OC/UC/OV/UV )
LiveOPP can control the properties of each cpufreq step.
LiveOPP values in /sys/kernel/liveopp
View all files in that folder first.
CPU freq table:
(Showed freq) : (Real freq)
200000 kHz : 192000 kHz
400000 kHz : 399360 kHz
600000 kHz : 599040 kHz
800000 kHz : 798720 kHz
1000000 kHz : 998400 kHz
1050000 kHz : 1049600 kHz
1100000 kHz : 1100800 kHz
1150000 kHz : 1152000 kHz
1200000 kHz : 1200000 kHz
1250000 kHz : 1228800 kHz

Overclocking depends on the device CPU quality you have.
You need to enable setting voltage in the slot first, if it is disabled:
echo set_volt=1 > arm_slot<id>
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
To decrease the voltage (UV) of a step: Example: @200MHz
echo varm- > arm_step0
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
To increase the voltage (OV) of a step: Example: @200MHz
echo varm+ > arm_step0
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
To change the voltage of a step:
echo varm=0x?? > arm_step<id>
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
* It means it accepts a HEX value only.
* ARM voltage is in 12.5mV steps
* Recommended that not tweaking Overclocking steps voltage
( GPU OC )
GPU clock controller valued in /sys/kernel/mali
Available interfaces:
mali_auto_boost
mali_available_frequencies
mali_boost_delay
mali_boost_high
mali_boost_low
mali_dvfs_config
mali_gpu_clock
mali_gpu_fullspeed
mali_gpu_load
mali_gpu_vape
version
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Check mali_dvfs_config first.
mali_auto_boost
It's a simple GPU governor that can boost clock according to GPU load, enabled by default
To disable: echo 0 > /sys/kernel/mali/mali_auto_boost
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
mali_boost_delay
The delay of boosting frequency, in ms.
echo ??? > /sys/kernel/mali/mali_boost_delay
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
mali_boost_high
The high frequency performance profile.
Upthreshold: When GPU load is higher than this value, GPU clock will increase.
DVFS idx: DVFS data index in mali_dvfs_config.
echo ??????(a frequency) > /sys/kernel/mali/mali_boost_high
echo idx=??(a DVFS index) > /sys/kernel/mali/mali_boost_high
echo threshold=??? > /sys/kernel/mali/mali_boost_high
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
mali_boost_low
The low frequency performance profile.
Downthreshold: When GPU load is lower than this value, GPU clock will decrease.
DVFS idx: DVFS data index in mali_dvfs_config.
echo ??????(a frequency) > /sys/kernel/mali/mali_boost_low
echo idx=??(a DVFS index) > /sys/kernel/mali/mali_boost_low
echo threshold=??? > /sys/kernel/mali/mali_boost_low
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
mali_gpu_clock
Current GPU clock.
Say a frequency to tweak the clock directly.
echo ?????? > mali_gpu_clock
Notice! If auto-booster governor is enabled, this GPU will override.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
mali_gpu_fullspeed
Value 1 means GPU is working at full speed.
Value 0 means GPU is working at half speed.
When on half speed, GPU clock will be divided by 2. Namely, 399 / 2 = 199 kHz.
Require full speed:
echo 1 > mali_gpu_fullspeed
Required half speed:
echo 0 >mali_gpu_fullspeed

( IO schedulers )
SIO(2012), SIO-Plus, VR, BFQ(v7r2), CFQ, NOOP, ZEN, ROW(v4), Deadline
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
* Default IO scheduler: CFQ
* SIO/ROW/SIO-Plus recommended!
( frandom module )
(5.3+) To enable FRANDOM kernel module:
insmod /lib/modules/frandom.ko
chmod 0666 /dev/frandom
chmod 0666 /dev/erandom
mv /dev/random /dev/random.orig
mv /dev/urandom /dev/urandom.orig
ln -s /dev/frandom /dev/random
ln -s /dev/frandom /dev/urandom

( Deepest sleep state )
Stock: 3 Default: 3
Deepest supported is 5.
To change:
echo 5 > /d/cpuidle/deepest_state
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
* PegasusQ(hotplug governors) works badly with 5
* OnDemand works well with 5
* Please note that it wont increase the using time but standby time.
* ( 6.0+)You can add an init.d script to tweak it 4 if you want
To check the cpuidle state:
cat /d/cpuidle/stats
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
( exFat sdcard )
In TWRP version kernel, it supports exfat sdcard.
Copy /sbin/libexfat.so to /system/lib
Insert exfat sdcard, use binary /sbin/exfat-fuse to mount
su
/sbin/exfat-fuse /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 /storage/extSdCard
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Then tap mount sdcard in system settings to let system know sdcard is mounted
* Create an init.d script to mount exFat sdcard during startup
( zRAM SWAP )
[zRAM]
zRAM is optimized for Android. It is not lazy anymore. Recommended zRAM instead of SWAP.
Using zRAM will take a little CPU, because it needs to compress/decompress memory.
Recommended compressing about 18% of RAM, about 100 mb.
Setup disksize first: (example: 200mb)
echo $((200 * 1024 * 1024)) > /sys/block/zram0/disksize
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
* Larger size more RAM will be compressed.
* Too large size might make phone lag
To enable:
Code:
mkswap /dev/block/zram0
swapon /dev/block/zram0
To check how many does it use:
cat /sys/block/zram0/num_reads
cat /sys/block/zram0/num_writes
cat /proc/meminfo | grep swap
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
* We can get other info in its sysfs
[SWAP]
1. Format/resize external SDCard via computer first.
2. Create a new swap partition (mmcblk1p2)
Enable:
mkswap /dev/block/mmcblk1p2
swapon /dev/block/mmcblk1p2
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
2. Using a FILE as swap RAM: (Create a continuity file first)
su
cd /cache
dd if=/dev/zero of=swapfile bs=1024 count=81920
mkswap swapfile
swapon swapfile
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Then we will have an 80mb swap RAM.
( Init.d script )
Please install busybox in system first
I recommend install busybox via apps
Create a new folder named 'init.d' in /system/etc
Set the permission of init.d foler to 0777(rwxrwxrwx) (at least has read and exec permission)
Set the owner to 0.0 (root root)
Put some scripts (any name you like) in init.d folder with permission 0777 (rwxrwxrwx) (at least has read and exec permission)
Scripts with right permission will be executed when system boots.
( Charger Control )
Please note that this control can damage your battery/phone.
If your battery/phone damaged, read the top of #1 post.
Lower current makes the charging longer, but protects battery.
On our board, the highest safe current is 900mA
( 6.8- ) See here,6.8+ has used new entries
( 8.6+)
To enable Current Control:
Setup current first: (for example, 900mA)
echo 900 > /sys/kernel/abb-charger/charger_curr
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Turn on Current Control:
echo on > /sys/kernel/abb-charger/charger_curr
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Turn off Current Control:
echo off > /sys/kernel/abb-charger/charger_curr
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
* The Custom Current must match the value in the Current Table
* InputCurrent and OutputCurrent are read from charger registers,
* If we find that this sysfs interface prints "VBUS DROPPED!" warning,
The charging current has been changed by driver because of a BAD charger!
* It need to plug/replug charger to take effect!
To enable Charger HW Control:
If we want to transfer data or stop charging, we can disable the charger:
echo off > /sys/kernel/abb-charger/charger_hw
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
To enable:
echo on > /sys/kernel/abb-charger/charger_hw
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
( Cycle Charging Control )
Similar to BLX by Ezekeel. It can be used to limit the battery charging level.
Example: Limit the battery level at 70% ~ 75%
Enable:
echo on > /sys/kernel/abb-fg/fg_cyc
Disable:
echo off > /sys/kernel/abb-fg/fg_cyc
Discharging threshold (battery level %):
echo dischar=75 > /sys/kernel/abb-fg/fg_cyc
Recharging threshold:
echo dischar=70 > /sys/kernel/abb-fg/fg_cyc
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
( USB Power Sharing )
( 6.2+) This can enable the internal vbus power supply for usb devices.
But the phone still cannot recognize our usb devices now.
We can use it for fun, like charging for other devices, USB fan...
cd /sys/kernel/abb-regu
echo 1 > VOTG
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
* Say 0 to VOTG to disable
* Plug OTG cable first, then enable it
( USB Switcher )
Sometimes, we will lost the ADB connection after a reboot.
This is the software workaround to fix this issue, namely, SW reset the USB swticher.
echo 1 > /sys/devices/virtual/usb_switch/FSA_SWITCH/swreset
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
3. HOW TO
( WiFi PM Mode )
We can tweak WiFi screen-off PM mode now.
PM FAST is used by default to speed up, PM MAX is used to save power
To switch to PM_MAX:
echo 0 > /sys/module/dhd/parameters/dhdpm_fast
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
( MMC SPI CRC )
Disabling SPI CRC can improve mmc performance (10%)
But phone may freeze randomly.
echo 0 > /sys/module/mmc_core/parameters/use_spi_crc
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
( Real charged notification )
Well, please let me call it notification.
To be honest, it needs to check manually.
( 6. For old versions
cat /sys/kernel/abb-chargalg/eoc_status
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
* You can use Root Explorer to view these files in /sys/kernel/abb-chargalg
* When it says "First eoc reached", then the UI should show you charged 100%
But it is not the real full charged.
* When it says the real EOC reached, unplug the charger.
* According to my experiments, it needs 1-2 hours to charge to real full after it shows you 100%
( POnKey Emulator )
Because my power key is going to break, so I need this feature.
This is the software emulator of power key.
To turn off screen: ( 20 < value(ms) < 520 )
echo 100 > /sys/kernel/abb-ponkey/emulator
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
To active the power menu: ( 520 < value(ms) < ∞)
echo 800 > /sys/kernel/abb-ponkey/emulator
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
To use Vol.Up or Vol.Down key as Power Key:
echo volup=1 > /sys/kernel/gpio-keys/ponkey_emu
OR
echo voldown=1 > /sys/kernel/gpio-keys/ponkey_emu
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
* It doesn't work in suspend expect in charging.
( ABBamp Audio )
Please note that listening to too high volume music over 1 hour or more can damage your ears.
Too high volume can make your external speakers/headset overload or damage them.
( 6. Old versions,please see here
Credit: Aditya(Adi_Pat)
First, why do i call it `AMP`?
Because most of our tweaks are about gain(volume)
Our codec is simple, It doesn't have any hardware EQ (although i want...)
ABBamp sysfs entries are in:
/sys/kernel/abb-codec
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
* Use RootExplorer to view this folder,there are lots files
Tweaks will take effects immediately!
Most tweaks will accept inputs like "on", "off" (no quotes)...
So, say "on" to enable this tweak, then this tweak will apply the value stored/inputed
View(cat) these files, most of them will give you useful infomation about this tweak.
They will show you the volume in dB of gain
`cd` to /sys/kernel/abb-codec first then do echos, will be more convenient.

Let me clear the panel brightness for you:
The brightness of our panel is depends on gamma
The gamma is generated according to illumination value
We have 26 levels of gamma, means we have 26 illumination values too
So the brightness in system like 1 and 6 are the same brightness in kernel driver(converted),
Because 1 and 6 are in the same gamma level.
Check the file gamma_table to see, the gamma valeus are the same
Unlocked brightness:
In non power saving mode,
We allowed 255 brightness uses the maximum gamma level(25) in kernel driver
In power saving mode,
The maximum brightness can be set is around 230(not 255).

This can control this brightness of panel
You can write any value to it, maximum proper illumination is 300

For example:
Tweak index0 illumination:

* 0 is the index
* 10 is the value
* If you are in power saving mode now,the brightness will change!

* Keep this default if unsure.
Mali Utilization control
(Default: low_to_high 192 high_to_low 64)
Our driver will report a mali utilization frequently.
This utilization(range: 0~255) means the load of mali.
If utilization is bigger than low_to_high, driver will request higher hardware performance(highest APE/DDR OPP).
If utilization is smaller than high_to_low, the driver will store the requested OPP(uses low OPP).
OPP can be understood as freq simply.
To check mali utilization values:
echo 5 > /sys/module/mali/parameters/mali_debug_level
cat /proc/kmsg | grep -i utilization
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
When it says SIGNAL_HIGH, it will request highest OPP.
When it says SIGNAL_LOW, it will request lowest OPP.

How to play with kernel
Here are some intructions/tips about how to play with the kernel.
Terminal is needed.
If you want to change the values,it needs su permission.
If you get 'Permisson denied',you need su permisson.
If the devices lost responses,hold power button 8s to reboot.
Simply,You can cd to the folder first,then do echos.
Then `???` stands for the number to input
Boot time
RoXSel boots faster than stock normally.
4.2.2
Code:
Stock: 8600ms - 8800ms
RoXSel: 8400ms - 8600ms
Report other versions !!
How to check boottime?
Code:
cat /d/boottime/summary
CPU Governors
OndemandQ ( Default )
Ondemand
Performance
Hotplug
SmartAss2
Lionhearth
Lulzativeq
Powersave
Intellidemand
Lagfree
Lazy
Interactive
Conservetive
Userspace
* Personaly,I use OnDemand(Q)
* OndemandQ is a new governor. It will hotplug cpu when screen turns off only.
* If you mind the battery life time,choose HotPlug. It hotplugs cpu frequently.
* LulzactiveQ, it will hotplug cpus
CPU Freqs
On JB,we cannot tweak min/max scale freqs via apps like SetCPU.
Here is the method.
Code:
cd /sys/power
For example: set 400Mhz as max limited
Code:
echo 400000 > cpufreq_max_limit
* When you switch on/off power saving mode, this tweak will be overrided.
IO schedulers
Noop ( Default )
Deadline
Cfq
Bfq
Row
Zen
Sio
Vr
* Personally, i use Zen
Frandom Module
Use CrossBeeder to enable frandom.
Deepest sleep state
Stock: 3 Default: 3
Deepest supported is 5.
To change:
Code:
echo 5 > /d/cpuidle/deepest_state
* PegasusQ ( hotplug governors ) works badly with 5
* OnDemand works well with 5
* Please note that it wont increase the using time but standby time.
To check the cpuidle state:
Code:
cat /d/cpuidle/stats
USB VBus
( v2+ )
This can enable the internal vbus power supply for usb devices.
But the phone still cannot recognize our usb devices now.
You can use it for fun,like charging for other devices, using usb fan...
To enable :
Code:
cd /sys/kernel/abb-regu
echo 1 > VOTG
* Say 0 to VOTG to disable
* Plug yoru cable first,then enable it
zRAM
zRAM is optimized for Android.
It is not lazy anymore.
Using zRAM will take a little CPU,because it needs to compress/decompress memory.
Recommended compressing about 18% of RAM,about 100mb
Setup disksize first: (example: 96mb= 96×1024×1024)
Code:
echo 100663296 > /sys/block/zram0/disksize
* Larger size more RAM will be compressed.
* Too large size might make phone lag
Enable:
Code:
mkswap /dev/block/zram0
swapon /dev/block/zram0
To check how many does it use:
Code:
cat /sys/block/zram0/num_reads
cat /sys/block/zram0/num_writes
* You can get other info in its sysfs
Swap
Format/resize your SdCard via computer first.
Enable:
Code:
mkswap /dev/block/mmcblk1p1
swapon /dev/block/mmcblk1p1
Init.d script
Put some scripts (any name you like) in init.d folder with permisson 0777 (rwxrwxrwx) (at least has read and exec permission)
Scripts with right permisson will be runned when system boots.
Charger control
Please note that this control can damage your battery/phone.
If your battery/phone damaged,read the top of #1 post.
Lower current makes the charging longer,but protects battery.
Too high current can burn your battery!
I recommend you that dont set the max limited current over 900mA.
AC Maximum current: (stock: 600 , min: 0 , max: 900) mA
Code:
echo ??? > /sys/kernel/abb-charger/max_ac_c
USB Maximum current: (stock: 600 , min: 0 , max: 900) mA
Code:
echo ??? > /sys/kernel/abb-charger/max_usb_c
* The control only accepts values like 0, 100, 200 ...
* Set usb current to 0,the phone wont charge in usb port,but transmits data.
Track driver memory [advanced] :
Code:
cat /sys/kernel/abb-charger/stats
To get the charging current:
When you plug charger:
Code:
dmesg | grep -i ab8500-charger
Real charged notification
To be honest,it needs to check manually.
Code:
cat /sys/module/abb_chargalg/parameters/eoc_status
* You can use Rootexplorer to view this file.
* When it says "First full charging reached",then the UI should show you charged 100%
But it is not the real full charged.
* When it says it is the real full charged,you can unplug the charger.
* When you are charging and do a reboot will reset the counter.
* According to my experiments,it needs 1-2 hours to charge to real full.
MMC SIP CRC
( v2+ )
Disabling SPI CRC can improve mmc performance (10% ~ 30%)
But phone may freeze randomly
Code:
echo 0 > /sys/module/mmc_core/parameters/use_spi_crc
Camera LED Flash
( v2+ )
HIghlight mode for assistive light, enabling this for a long time will heat up your device, be careful!
Enable:
Code:
echo 1 > /sys/class/camera/flash/highlight
Disable:
Code:
echo 0 > /sys/class/camera/flash/highlight
Fsync Control
Get current status:
Code:
cat /sys/kernel/fsync/mode
FSYNC modes:
Code:
0: fsync on
1: fsync off
2: fsync dyn
Disable FSYNC:
Code:
echo 1 > /sys/kernel/fsync/mode
* Disabling fsync can improve io performace,
but it can make the data which hasnt been written lose when a sudden poweroff comes.
* Disabling fsync or enabling dyn_fsync will make param driver fail to store data
That means your "reboot recovery" will fail.
Enable Dynamic FSYNC:
Code:
echo 2 > /sys/kernel/fsync/mode
* Dynamic fsync will sync all buffers when screen turns off,
* If there is a heavy io load,the screen might get stuck for seconds.
* This is an experimental feature.
Mali GPU
Mali debug level
Disabling can speed up a bit
Code:
echo 0 > /sys/module/mali/parameters/mali_debug_level
* Higher level,more messages will be printed in dmesg, system will slow down
Mali L2 max reads control: (Stock:28kb,Default:48kb(max))
Code:
echo xx > /sys/module/mali/parameters/mali_l2_max_reads
* Some values will slow down graphics
* If not sure,keep default
Mali PM sampling rate: (Default: 1000ms)
Code:
echo xx > /sys/module/mali/parameters/mali_pm_sampling_rate
Mali PP scheduler tweaks: (Default: disable)
Code:
echo 1 > /sys/module/mali/parameters/mali_pp_scheduler_balance_jobs
* Enabling this,Some places will over ahead,choose by your self
Mali Utilization sampling rate: (Stock:500ms,Default:1000ms)
How often report a mali utilization.
Code:
echo xxx > /sys/module/mali/parameters/mali_utilization_sampling_rate
* Keep this default if unsure.
Mali Utilization control
(Default: low_to_high 192 high_to_low 64)
Our driver will report a mali utilization frequently.
This utilization(range: 0~255) means the load of mali.
If utilization is bigger than low_to_high ,driver will request higher hardware performance(highest APE/DDR OPP).
If utilization is smaller than high_to_low ,the driver will store the requested OPP(uses low OPP).
OPP can be understood as freq simply.
To check mali utilization values:
Code:
echo 5 > /sys/module/mali/parameters/mali_debug_level
cat /proc/kmsg | grep -i utilization
When it says SIGNAL_HIGH,it will request highest OPP.
When it says SIGNAL_LOW,it will request lowest OPP.
Press Ctrl+C to stop printing.
You can reduce low_to_high to trigger higher OPP requirement.
For smoothness and less powersaving:
Set low_to_high between 100-192.
Code:
echo 120 > mali_utilization_low_to_high
Mali max preemptive allocated max memory size:
Default is 16mb(16*1024*1024), bigger max size more throughput.
But when this value is too big, no more throughput.
For example: 48mb = 48*1024*1024
Code:
echo 50331648 > /sys/module/mali/parameters/pre_allocated_memory_size_max
EGL Driver
To use Mali hardware egl driver only:
Edit /system/lib/egl.cfg
Code:
0 0 android
0 1 mali
To
Code:
0 0 mali
Then remove libGLES_android.so
* Recommend to backup these files
* According to my feelings: after disabling sw egl driver,UI is faster
Logcat
Well,we have made android logger(logcat) as module to free more RAM.
Some guys request logcat.
Now we provide you a workaround:
Create a new init.d script:
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
insmod /system/lib/modules/logger.ko
or
Flash this ZIP
Then you can use logcat command.
Almost tweaks will be restored to default after reboots.
So you can make your tweaks as init.d scripts to apply them when boots.

Faster with CM10 than CM10 with his stock kernel?
EDIT:
OP: @Rox = Roberthinio??
Ok IDK nothing about kernel. I use CM10 from @dh.harald. If i use this kernel, the performance will increase? And i use mod vold.fstab from MIUI beta rom, will it causing complication when i flash this kernel? Or i should flash this kernel with fresh CM10?
Thanks in advance, congratulations for the elaboration
good job :fingers-crossed:
Thank you guys. I'll give a try on slim bean.
On stock JB phone does not boot, its blocked at samsung blinking logo. Advices?

What is needed:
Samsung GT-I8160 (Jellybean)
AOSP ROM (CM, P.A.C, Slim, RootBox, LiquidSmooth...)
Some Android experience
This is confusing, does it run on stock JB roms? Or is intended olnly fir custom roms?

read what is needed before you flash. to boot phone flash kernel.bin.md5 from one of firmwares using odin
Not needed I had cwm backup of my rom and just restored stock kernel phone booted ok. Please modify first post and specify that this kernel is compatibile ONLY with custom roms.
This phrase at the begining can make people mistake:

Don't mean to sound like a noob but is it safe to use on top of tweaks such as Project Injection?
Yes. Also if you use crosbreeder you can enable frandom

Thanks for the quick reply. I'll be pairing up this kernel with LiquidSmooth as soon as call volume is fixed. :good:
I'm trying now. This is ****** handsome! You put hotplug governor, my battery say tahnks to you
Maybe one little bug: on powersave frequency doesnt remain at 200mhz. And if i set frequency min 200 MHz - max 400mhz the 800mhz step continue to work, eventi if i choose userspace.
I'll try with no CPU frills.
Good work mate!

HOW TOs
HOW TO PLAY WITH THIS KERNEL
Terminal emulator or ADB shell is needed.
If any command outputs 'Permission denied', you need su permission.
`???` stands for the number to input.
Change recovery:
To change your recovery:
1.- Open ADB shell or terminal emulator
2.- Download recovery.img
3.- Run:
Code:
su
dd if=recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p13
4.- Reboot to recovery
F2FS:
To enable F2FS:
1) Reboot into recovery
2) Touch Wipe option > Advanced Wipe
3) Select the partition you want to convert to F2FS (Data or Cache)
4) Select Repair or Change File System option
5) Touch Change File System and then select F2FS
Boot time:
To check boot time:
Code:
cat /sys/boottime/kernel
CPU governors:
Performance, Interactive (default), Powersave, Userspace, Conservative, InteractiveQ, PegasusQ, HotPlug, OnDemandQ, OnDemand, AbyssPlug, LulzactiveQ, SmartAssv2
- OnDemand has been patched with cpu idle detection.
- Most of custom governors are based on ondemand/interactive.
- OndemandQ/InteractiveQ will hotplug cpu when screen turns off only.
- If you care about the battery life time, choose HotPlug. It hotplugs cpu frequently.
- Interactive updated to linux-android-3.4 (recommended).
- LulzactiveQ, will hotplug CPU1.
I/O schedulers:
SIO, SIO-Plus, VR, BFQ, CFQ, NO-OP, ZEN, ROW, Deadline
- Default IO scheduler: SIO-Plus
- SIO/ROW/SIO-Plus recommended!
FRandom module:
Code:
insmod /lib/modules/frandom.ko
chmod 0666 /dev/frandom
chmod 0666 /dev/erandom
mv /dev/random /dev/random.orig
mv /dev/urandom /dev/urandom.orig
ln -s /dev/frandom /dev/random
ln -s /dev/frandom /dev/urandom
Deepest sleep state:
Stock: 3 Default: 3
Deepest supported is 5.
To change deepest sleep state:
Code:
echo 5 > /d/cpuidle/deepest_state
- HotPlug governors works badly with 5.
- OnDemand works well with 5.
- Please note that it won’t increase the using time but standby time.
- You can add an init.d script to tweak it if you want.
To check the cpuidle state:
Code:
cat /d/cpuidle/stats
zRAM:
zRAM is optimized for Android. It is not lazy anymore. Recommended zRAM instead of SWAP.
Using zRAM will take a little CPU, because it needs to compress/decompress memory.
Recommended compressing about 18% of RAM, about 100MB.
Setup disk size first: (example: 200MB)
Code:
echo $((200 * 1024 * 1024)) > /sys/block/zram0/disksize
- Larger size more RAM will be compressed.
- Too large size might make phone lag
To enable:
Code:
mkswap /dev/block/zram0
swapon /dev/block/zram0
To check how many does it use:
Code:
cat /sys/block/zram0/num_reads
cat /sys/block/zram0/num_writes
cat /proc/meminfo | grep swap
- We can get other info in its sysfs
Swap:
Using a file as swap RAM: (Create a continuity file first)
Code:
su
cd /cache
dd if=/dev/zero of=swapfile bs=1024 count=81920
mkswap swapfile
swapon swapfile
Then we will have 80MB of swap RAM.
Cycle Charging Control:
Similar to BLX by Ezekeel. It can be used to limit the battery charging level.
Example: Limit the battery level at 70% ~ 75%
Enable:
Code:
echo on > /sys/kernel/abb-fg/fg_cyc
Disable:
Code:
echo off > /sys/kernel/abb-fg/fg_cyc
Discharging threshold (battery level %):
Code:
echo dischar=75 > /sys/kernel/abb-fg/fg_cyc
Recharging threshold:
Code:
echo dischar=70 > /sys/kernel/abb-fg/fg_cyc
Real charged notification:
Well, please let me call it notification.
To be honest, it needs to check manually:
Code:
cat /sys/kernel/abb-chargalg/eoc_status
- You can use Root Browser to view these files in /sys/kernel/abb-chargalg
- When it says "First eoc reached", then the UI should show you charged 100%, but it is not the real full charged.
- When it says the real EOC reached, unplug the charger.
POnKey Emulator:
This is the software emulator of power key.
To turn off screen: ( 20 < value(ms) < 520 )
Code:
echo 100 > /sys/kernel/abb-ponkey/emulator
To active the power menu: ( 520 < value(ms) < ∞)
Code:
echo 800 > /sys/kernel/abb-ponkey/emulator
ABBamp Audio:
Please note that listening to too high volume music over 1 hour or more can damage your ears.
Too high volume can make your external speakers/headset overload or damage them.
First, why is it called `AMP`?
Because most of our tweaks are about gain(volume)
Our codec is simple, It doesn't have any hardware EQ (although i want...)
ABBamp sysfs entries are in:
/sys/kernel/abb-codec
- Use Root Browser to view this folder,there are lots files
Tweaks will take effects immediately!
Most tweaks will accept inputs like "on", "off" (no quotes)...
So, say "on" to enable this tweak, then this tweak will apply the value stored/inputed
View (cat) these files, most of them will give you useful information about this tweak.
They will show you the volume in dB of gain
`cd` to /sys/kernel/abb-codec first then do echos, will be more convenient.
AnaGain3 (Headset analog gain path):
Enable tweaks:
Code:
echo on > /sys/kernel/abb-codec/anagain3
Disable tweaks:
Code:
echo off > /sys/kernel/abb-codec/anagain3
Gain control: (min:0 ,max: 15) Lower value,higher volume (default: 0[+4dB])
Code:
echo left=?? > /sys/kernel/abb-codec/anagain3
echo right=?? > /sys/kernel/abb-codec/anagain3
Write both left and right channels:
Code:
echo gain=?? > /sys/kernel/abb-codec/anagain3
HsLDigGain (Headset left digital path gain):
Enable tweaks:
Code:
echo on > /sys/kernel/abb-codec/hsldiggain
Disable tweaks:
Code:
echo off > /sys/kernel/abb-codec/hsldiggain
Gain control: (min:0 ,max: 15) Lower value,higher volume (default: 4[+4dB])
Code:
echo gain=?? > /sys/kernel/abb-codec/hsldiggain
HsRDigGain (Headset right digital path gain):
Enable tweaks:
Code:
echo on > /sys/kernel/abb-codec/hsrdiggain
Disable tweaks:
Code:
echo off > /sys/kernel/abb-codec/hsrdiggain
Gain control: (min:0 ,max: 15) Lower value,higher volume (default: 4[+4dB])
Code:
echo gain=?? > /sys/kernel/abb-codec/hsrdiggain
Headset Volume Table:
value | volume
0.......+8dB (maximum)
1.......+7dB
2.......+6dB
3.......+5dB
4.......+4dB (tweaks default)
5.......+3dB
6.......+2dB
7.......+1dB
8.......+0dB (device default)
>=9....mute
- If set up digital path +4dB, analog gain +4dB, the result will get over +8dB
HsLowPow (Headset driver low power mode):
This lowpow mode is enabled by device normally.
If you want high performance audio instead of LPA(low power audio) you can disable it.
Enable tweaks:
Code:
echo on > /sys/kernel/abb-codec/hslowpow
Disable tweaks:
Code:
echo off > /sys/kernel/abb-codec/hslowpow
To tweak the mode (0: disable LP mode, 1: enable LP mode)
Code:
echo mode=? > /sys/kernel/abb-codec/hslowpow
HsDacLowPow (Headset DAC low power mode):
DAC is Digital-to-Analong Converter.
This lowpow mode is enabled by device normally.
Enable tweaks:
Code:
echo on > /sys/kernel/abb-codec/hsdaclowpow
Disable tweaks:
Code:
echo off > /sys/kernel/abb-codec/hsdaclowpow
To tweak the mode (0: disable LP mode, 1: enable LP mode)
Code:
echo mode=? > /sys/kernel/abb-codec/hsdaclowpow
HsHpEn (Headset high pass filter):
This high pass filter is disabled by device normally.
Enable this can reduce some sub-noise of audio.
Enable tweaks:
Code:
echo on > /sys/kernel/abb-codec/hshpen
Disable tweaks:
Code:
echo off > /sys/kernel/abb-codec/hshpen
To tweak the mode (0: disable highpass filter, 1: enable highpass filter)
Code:
echo mode=? > /sys/kernel/abb-codec/hshepen
Besides, the file anaconf1 will shows you the status of LPA
ClassDHPG (ClassD high-pass gain):
ClassD is a kind of amplifier.
According to the documents, our ClassD only relate to Handsfree(speaker).
This can increase the high frequencies sound of speaker
Enable tweaks:
Code:
echo on > /sys/kernel/abb-codec/classdhpg
Disable tweaks:

AnaConf4:
This interface controls the enables of analog path
We can use it to disable Speaker in kernel level.
So that you don't have to use the "mute all sound" in system settings,
Because, "mute all sound" will also mute Earpiece, which is inconvenient for us in calls.
Command format: Check anaconf4 first, This interface is a bit different from others:
Code:
echo [Index] [Disable?] > anaconf4
To Disable Speaker:
Code:
echo 5 1 > anaconf4
To Enable Speaker:
Code:
echo 5 0 > anaconf4
Headset Charge Pump:
Code:
echo 0 > chargepump to use fixed 1.8V supply.
echo 1 > chargepump to use dynamic voltage supply, lower power cost.
Lower-power Audio Mode:
Code:
echo on > lpa_mode to enable LPA mode
echo vape=0x?? > lpa_mode to adjust Vape voltage used in LPA mode
Experts!:
This method can work on any ab850x codec platform!
cd /d/asoc/U8500-card/ab8500-codec.0
Play music, reduce the volume.
Now we are going to edit the codec registers.
Code:
echo REG VAL > codec_reg
E.G:
AnaGain3:
Code:
echo 0x16 0x00 > codec_reg
HsDigGain: (left/right channel)
Code:
echo 0x4F 0x00 > codec_reg
echo 0x50 0x00 > codec_reg
Disable all lowpow mode:
Code:
echo 0x04 0x00 > codec_reg
- These hacks will restore when codec power off.
Camera LED Flash:
Turn on torch with more brightness, turning this on for a long time will heat up your device, be careful!
Enable/Disable:
Code:
echo 1/0 > /sys/devices/platform/nmk-i2c.2/i2c-2/2-0053/torch_enable
echo 149600 > /sys/devices/platform/nmk-i2c.2/i2c-2/2-0053/torch_current
FSync control:
Get current status:
Code:
cat /sys/kernel/fsync/mode
FSYNC modes:
0: fsync on
1: fsync off
2: fsync dyn
Disable FSYNC:
Code:
echo 1 > /sys/kernel/fsync/mode
Disabling fsync can improve I/O performance, but it can make the data which hasn't been written lose when a sudden power cut occurs.
Enable Dynamic FSYNC:
Code:
echo 2 > /sys/kernel/fsync/mode
- Dynamic fsync will sync all buffers when screen turns off.
- If there is a heavy I/O load, the screen might get stuck for seconds.
Mali GPU:
Mali debug level:
Disabling can speed up a bit
Code:
echo 0 > /sys/module/mali/parameters/mali_debug_level
- Higher level, more messages will be printed in dmesg, system will slow down
Mali L2 max reads control: (Stock:28kb,Default:48kb(max))
Code:
echo xx > /sys/module/mali/parameters/mali_l2_max_read
- Some values will slow down graphics
- If not sure, keep default
Mali PM sampling rate: (Default: 1000ms)
Code:
echo xx > /sys/module/mali/parameters/mali_pm_sampling_rate
Mali PP scheduler tweaks: (Default: disable)
Code:
echo 1 > /sys/module/mali/parameters/mali_pp_scheduler_balance_jobs
- Enabling this, some places will over ahead, choose by yourself
Mali Utilization sampling rate: (Stock:500ms, Default:1000ms)
How often report a mali utilization.
Code:
echo xxx > /sys/module/mali/parameters/mali_utilization_sampling_rate
- Keep this default if unsure.
Mali utilization control:
(Default: low_to_high 192 high_to_low 64)
Our driver will report a mali utilization frequently.
This utilization(range: 0~255) means the load of mali.
If utilization is bigger than low_to_high, driver will request higher hardware performance(highest APE/DDR OPP).
If utilization is smaller than high_to_low, the driver will store the requested OPP(uses low OPP).
OPP can be understood as freq simply.
To check mali utilization values:
Code:
echo 5 > /sys/module/mali/parameters/mali_debug_level
cat /proc/kmsg | grep -i utilization
When it says SIGNAL_HIGH, it will request highest OPP.
When it says SIGNAL_LOW, it will request lowest OPP.
Press Ctrl+C to stop printing.
You can reduce low_to_high to trigger higher OPP requirement.
For smoothness and less powersaving:
Set low_to_high between 100-192.
Code:
echo 120 > mali_utilization_low_to_high
Mali max preemptive allocated max memory size:
Default is 16mb(16*1024*1024), bigger max size more throughput.
But when this value is too big, no more throughput.
For example: 48mb = 48*1024*1024
Code:
echo 50331648 > /sys/module/mali/parameters/pre_allocated_memory_size_max
Mali OS Kernel memory allocation order:
The lower value, the higher preference of allocating OS memory.
The default value is 6, I decreased it to 9 to fix OS memory allocation failure.
If you feel laggy, try 6 (default by driver)
Code:
echo 6 > /sys/module/mali/parameters/mali_oskmem_allocorder
TCP congestions:
Supported:
cubic(default), westwood, highspeed, vegas, veno, yeah
To check all the available options:
Code:
busybox sysctl net.ipv4.tcp_available_congestion_control
To change to other option:
Code:
busybox sysctl -w net.ipv4.tcp_congestion_control=YOU_WANT_TO
Latency - Download - Upload
cubic:
1st run: 15ms - 10,75Mbps - 7,82Mbps
2nd run: 14ms - 10,84Mbps - 8,06Mbps
westwood:
1st run: 11ms - 17,65Mbps - 8,30Mbps
2nd run: 13ms - 13,28Mbps - 8,29Mbps
highspeed:
1st run: 13ms - 10,76Mbps - 7,94Mbps
2nd run: 16ms - 14,42Mbps - 8,52Mbps
vegas:
1st run: 14ms - 8,49Mbps - 6,62Mbps
2nd run: 14ms - 12,00Mbps - 7,07Mbps
veno:
1st run: 13ms - 9,58Mbps - 8,13Mbps
2nd run: 13ms - 8,50Mbps - 7,64Mbps
yeah:
1st run: 14ms - 13,37Mbps - 8,28Mbps
2nd run: 17ms - 13,89Mbps - 8,14Mbps
- In fact, every congestion is designed for different environments.
- Google to learn more!
EGL Driver:
To use Mali hardware egl driver only:
Edit /system/lib/egl.cfg
0 0 android
0 1 mali
To
0 0 mali
Then remove libGLES_android.so
- Recommend to backup these files
- In case it cannot boot,use TWRP file manager to recover changes
Logcat:
Add a init.d script with the following content:
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
insmod /system/lib/modules/logger.ko
And reboot your phone
Miscellaneous:
To refresh battery stats:
Code:
echo 1 > /sys/kernel/abb-fg/fg_refresh
Almost all tweaks will be restored to default after reboots.
So you can make your tweaks as init.d scripts or make scripts with SManager app to apply them at boot.
Been using it for a couple of hour, its stable enough on slimkat, no random reboots until now, great!!!

no init.d support?!!??
i cannot copy any file in init.d folder .....
*****EDIT****
init.d script works (i've put files inside init.d folder using older bravekernel1.5) but seem to be some problems with built-in superuser app in this new kernel
problem solved flashing supersu instead ....
I can't get the lowmemkiller whitelist to work with CM11 W37. Instead I'm getting even more launcher redraws. Is there something wrong with my approach? I followed everything given in the OP's Thread.
really strange things ... with this kernel pinballarcade app completely desappears and sqlite editor app crashing at start... revert back to old bravekernel 1.5 everything back to works and pinballarcade reapears itself...

Random apps like settings, google play services etc started crashing in the background. Then finally I got a random reboot. Happened after 6 hours of use.
It's a great kernel but it really freaking slows my phone.
I'm using CM11 with ART.
Do this kernel not work well on ART?
I have not try this kernel, but the premises should be good and better than the stock kernel of CyanogenMod 11, I can not wait to try it! Thanks for your great hard work @Garcia98 , this is really the best Christmas gift I could do us all xperia u. Happy xmas @Garcia98 !
I will use it again soon.
I'll suggest to wait next release .... atm there's something not properly working with root & permissions....

ART worked really fine for me, but I'm back on Dalvik, I miss Xposed and WhatsApp.
On a clean install I'm not having problems, and I'll report battery lasting, general performance and stuff in a few days.
Thank you so much for your work Garcia98 and Merry Christmas to you all!
After 12h of use the wifi cant wake up, the wifi try to connect to my network but always stop at "Obtaining IP".
I get back to stock kernel, but I've good feelings with it.

I didn't touch any settings. Using Interactive and Row on CM11 weekly 34 or 35 I think.
Garcia, for some unknown reason, i can't copy init.d scripts into init.d folder. I checked my root permissions, everything's fine. I can delete apps from system. Also when i input frandom commands, it says no such file found. Can you please solve my issue?

I managed to get 50mb of swap file but I've one doubt. It's created in root/cache. Not in sdcard. I know swap file degrades any flash memory but if this degrades the system memory, i won't be able to switch on mobile, right or wrong?

Try to create a file in init.d using su and touch /system/etc/init.d/nameofscript commands, also you can try to edit an existing script and add your commands there (dirty solution but the effect will be the same). This issue will be fixed in next release.
About frandom issue it was a typo in instructions, change the path adding /system in the beginning (/system/lib/modules/frandom.ko).
Regarding swap question, it's true that a flash memory is limited to a X number of write cycles, but our phone has just one flash memory of ~8GB, so it doesn't care in which partition you create the swapfile, however you can decrease swappiness to prevent that from happening

Kernel Special Features: Customized kernel 3.0.101 for KK 4.4.x ROM
Version Information
Status: Stable
Current Stable Version: v1.3
Stable Release Date: 2015-02-08
Created 2014-12-24
Last Updated 2016-06-10
HOW TOs
HOW TO PLAY WITH THIS KERNEL
Terminal emulator or ADB shell is needed.
If any command outputs 'Permission denied', you need su permission.
`???` stands for the number to input.
F2FS:
To enable F2FS:
1) Reboot into recovery
2) Touch Wipe option > Advanced Wipe
3) Select the partition you want to convert to F2FS (Data or Cache)
4) Select Repair or Change File System option
5) Touch Change File System and then select F2FS
Boot time:
To check boot time:
Code:
cat /sys/boottime/kernel
CPU governors:
Performance, Interactive (default), Powersave, Userspace, Conservative, InteractiveQ, PegasusQ, HotPlug, OnDemandQ, OnDemand, AbyssPlug, LulzactiveQ, SmartAssv2
- OnDemand has been patched with cpu idle detection.
- Most of custom governors are based on ondemand/interactive.
- OndemandQ/InteractiveQ will hotplug cpu when screen turns off only.
- If you care about the battery life time, choose HotPlug. It hotplugs cpu frequently.
- Interactive updated to linux-android-3.4 (recommended).
- LulzactiveQ, will hotplug CPU1.
I/O schedulers:
SIO, SIO-Plus, VR, BFQ, CFQ, NO-OP, ZEN, ROW, Deadline
- Default IO scheduler: SIO-Plus
- SIO/ROW/SIO-Plus recommended!
FRandom module:
Code:
insmod /system/lib/modules/frandom.ko
chmod 0666 /dev/frandom
chmod 0666 /dev/erandom
mv /dev/random /dev/random.orig
mv /dev/urandom /dev/urandom.orig
ln -s /dev/frandom /dev/random
ln -s /dev/frandom /dev/urandom
Deepest sleep state:
Stock: 3 Default: 3
Deepest supported is 5.
To change deepest sleep state:
Code:
echo 5 > /d/cpuidle/deepest_state
- HotPlug governors works badly with 5.
- OnDemand works well with 5.
- Please note that it won’t increase the using time but standby time.
- You can add an init.d script to tweak it if you want.
To check the cpuidle state:
Code:
cat /d/cpuidle/stats
zRAM:
zRAM is optimized for Android. It is not lazy anymore. Recommended zRAM instead of SWAP.
Using zRAM will take a little CPU, because it needs to compress/decompress memory.
Recommended compressing about 18% of RAM, about 100MB.
Setup disk size first: (example: 200MB)
Code:
echo $((200 * 1024 * 1024)) > /sys/block/zram0/disksize
- Larger size more RAM will be compressed.
- Too large size might make phone lag
To enable:
Code:
mkswap /dev/block/zram0
swapon /dev/block/zram0
To check how many does it use:
Code:
cat /sys/block/zram0/num_reads
cat /sys/block/zram0/num_writes
cat /proc/meminfo | grep swap
- We can get other info in its sysfs
Swap:
Using a file as swap RAM: (Create a continuity file first)
Code:
su
cd /cache
dd if=/dev/zero of=swapfile bs=1024 count=81920
mkswap swapfile
swapon swapfile
Then we will have 80MB of swap RAM.
Cycle Charging Control:
Similar to BLX by Ezekeel. It can be used to limit the battery charging level.
Example: Limit the battery level at 70% ~ 75%
Enable:
Code:
echo on > /sys/kernel/abb-fg/fg_cyc
Disable:
Code:
echo off > /sys/kernel/abb-fg/fg_cyc
Discharging threshold (battery level %):
Code:
echo dischar=75 > /sys/kernel/abb-fg/fg_cyc
Recharging threshold:
Code:
echo dischar=70 > /sys/kernel/abb-fg/fg_cyc
Real charged notification:
Well, please let me call it notification.
To be honest, it needs to check manually:
Code:
cat /sys/kernel/abb-chargalg/eoc_status
- You can use Root Browser to view these files in /sys/kernel/abb-chargalg
- When it says "First eoc reached", then the UI should show you charged 100%, but it is not the real full charged.
- When it says the real EOC reached, unplug the charger.
POnKey Emulator:
This is the software emulator of power key.
To turn off screen: ( 20 < value(ms) < 520 )
Code:
echo 100 > /sys/kernel/abb-ponkey/emulator
To active the power menu: ( 520 < value(ms) < ∞)
Code:
echo 800 > /sys/kernel/abb-ponkey/emulator
ABBamp Audio:
Please note that listening to too high volume music over 1 hour or more can damage your ears.
Too high volume can make your external speakers/headset overload or damage them.
First, why is it called `AMP`?
Because most of our tweaks are about gain(volume)
Our codec is simple, It doesn't have any hardware EQ (although i want...)
ABBamp sysfs entries are in:
/sys/kernel/abb-codec
- Use Root Browser to view this folder,there are lots files
Tweaks will take effects immediately!
Most tweaks will accept inputs like "on", "off" (no quotes)...
So, say "on" to enable this tweak, then this tweak will apply the value stored/inputed
View (cat) these files, most of them will give you useful information about this tweak.
They will show you the volume in dB of gain
`cd` to /sys/kernel/abb-codec first then do echos, will be more convenient.
AnaGain3 (Headset analog gain path):
Enable tweaks:
Code:
echo on > /sys/kernel/abb-codec/anagain3
Disable tweaks:
Code:
echo off > /sys/kernel/abb-codec/anagain3
Gain control: (min:0 ,max: 15) Lower value,higher volume (default: 0[+4dB])
Code:
echo left=?? > /sys/kernel/abb-codec/anagain3
echo right=?? > /sys/kernel/abb-codec/anagain3
Write both left and right channels:
Code:
echo gain=?? > /sys/kernel/abb-codec/anagain3
HsLDigGain (Headset left digital path gain):
Enable tweaks:
Code:
echo on > /sys/kernel/abb-codec/hsldiggain
Disable tweaks:
Code:

AnaConf4:
This interface controls the enables of analog path
We can use it to disable Speaker in kernel level.
So that you don't have to use the "mute all sound" in system settings,
Because, "mute all sound" will also mute Earpiece, which is inconvenient for us in calls.
Command format: Check anaconf4 first, This interface is a bit different from others:
Code:
echo [Index] [Disable?] > anaconf4
To Disable Speaker:
Code:
echo 5 1 > anaconf4
To Enable Speaker:
Code:
echo 5 0 > anaconf4
Headset Charge Pump:
Code:
echo 0 > chargepump to use fixed 1.8V supply.
echo 1 > chargepump to use dynamic voltage supply, lower power cost.
Lower-power Audio Mode:
Code:
echo on > lpa_mode to enable LPA mode
echo vape=0x?? > lpa_mode to adjust Vape voltage used in LPA mode
Experts!:
This method can work on any ab850x codec platform!
cd /d/asoc/U8500-card/ab8500-codec.0
Play music, reduce the volume.
Now we are going to edit the codec registers.
Code:
echo REG VAL > codec_reg
E.G:
AnaGain3:
Code:
echo 0x16 0x00 > codec_reg
HsDigGain: (left/right channel)
Code:
echo 0x4F 0x00 > codec_reg
echo 0x50 0x00 > codec_reg
Disable all lowpow mode:
Code:
echo 0x04 0x00 > codec_reg
- These hacks will restore when codec power off.
Camera LED Flash:
Turn on torch with more brightness, turning this on for a long time will heat up your device, be careful!
Enable/Disable:
Code:
echo 1/0 > /sys/devices/platform/nmk-i2c.2/i2c-2/2-0053/torch_enable
echo 149600 > /sys/devices/platform/nmk-i2c.2/i2c-2/2-0053/torch_current
FSync control:
Get current status:
Code:
cat /sys/kernel/fsync/mode
FSYNC modes:
0: fsync on
1: fsync off
2: fsync dyn
Disable FSYNC:
Code:
echo 1 > /sys/kernel/fsync/mode
Disabling fsync can improve I/O performance, but it can make the data which hasn't been written lose when a sudden power cut occurs.
Enable Dynamic FSYNC:
Code:
echo 2 > /sys/kernel/fsync/mode
- Dynamic fsync will sync all buffers when screen turns off.
- If there is a heavy I/O load, the screen might get stuck for seconds.
Mali GPU:
Mali debug level:
Disabling can speed up a bit
Code:
echo 0 > /sys/module/mali/parameters/mali_debug_level
- Higher level, more messages will be printed in dmesg, system will slow down
Mali L2 max reads control: (Stock:28kb,Default:48kb(max))
Code:
echo xx > /sys/module/mali/parameters/mali_l2_max_read
- Some values will slow down graphics
- If not sure, keep default
Mali PM sampling rate: (Default: 1000ms)
Code:
echo xx > /sys/module/mali/parameters/mali_pm_sampling_rate
Mali PP scheduler tweaks: (Default: disable)
Code:
echo 1 > /sys/module/mali/parameters/mali_pp_scheduler_balance_jobs
- Enabling this, some places will over ahead, choose by yourself
Mali Utilization sampling rate: (Stock:500ms, Default:1000ms)
How often report a mali utilization.
Code:
echo xxx > /sys/module/mali/parameters/mali_utilization_sampling_rate
- Keep this default if unsure.
Mali utilization control:
(Default: low_to_high 192 high_to_low 64)
Our driver will report a mali utilization frequently.
This utilization(range: 0~255) means the load of mali.
If utilization is bigger than low_to_high, driver will request higher hardware performance(highest APE/DDR OPP).
If utilization is smaller than high_to_low, the driver will store the requested OPP(uses low OPP).
OPP can be understood as freq simply.
To check mali utilization values:
Code:
echo 5 > /sys/module/mali/parameters/mali_debug_level
cat /proc/kmsg | grep -i utilization
When it says SIGNAL_HIGH, it will request highest OPP.
When it says SIGNAL_LOW, it will request lowest OPP.
Press Ctrl+C to stop printing.
You can reduce low_to_high to trigger higher OPP requirement.
For smoothness and less powersaving:
Set low_to_high between 100-192.
Code:
echo 120 > mali_utilization_low_to_high
Mali max preemptive allocated max memory size:
Default is 16mb(16*1024*1024), bigger max size more throughput.
But when this value is too big, no more throughput.
For example: 48mb = 48*1024*1024
Code:
echo 50331648 > /sys/module/mali/parameters/pre_allocated_memory_size_max
Mali OS Kernel memory allocation order:
The lower value, the higher preference of allocating OS memory.
The default value is 6, I decreased it to 9 to fix OS memory allocation failure.
If you feel laggy, try 6 (default by driver)
Code:
echo 6 > /sys/module/mali/parameters/mali_oskmem_allocorder
TCP congestions:
Supported:
cubic(default), westwood, highspeed, vegas, veno, yeah
To check all the available options:
Code:
busybox sysctl net.ipv4.tcp_available_congestion_control
To change to other option:
Code:
busybox sysctl -w net.ipv4.tcp_congestion_control=YOU_WANT_TO
Latency - Download - Upload
cubic:
1st run: 15ms - 10,75Mbps - 7,82Mbps
2nd run: 14ms - 10,84Mbps - 8,06Mbps
westwood:
1st run: 11ms - 17,65Mbps - 8,30Mbps
2nd run: 13ms - 13,28Mbps - 8,29Mbps
highspeed:
1st run: 13ms - 10,76Mbps - 7,94Mbps
2nd run: 16ms - 14,42Mbps - 8,52Mbps
vegas:
1st run: 14ms - 8,49Mbps - 6,62Mbps
2nd run: 14ms - 12,00Mbps - 7,07Mbps
veno:
1st run: 13ms - 9,58Mbps - 8,13Mbps
2nd run: 13ms - 8,50Mbps - 7,64Mbps
yeah:
1st run: 14ms - 13,37Mbps - 8,28Mbps
2nd run: 17ms - 13,89Mbps - 8,14Mbps
- In fact, every congestion is designed for different environments.
- Google to learn more!
EGL Driver:
To use Mali hardware egl driver only:
Edit /system/lib/egl.cfg
0 0 android
0 1 mali
To
0 0 mali
Then remove libGLES_android.so
- Recommend to backup these files
- In case it cannot boot,use TWRP file manager to recover changes
Logcat:
Create a new file(empty file) named logger in /data
When this file exists, kernel will load logger.ko for you automatically
Miscellaneous:
To refresh battery stats:
Code:
echo 1 > /sys/kernel/abb-fg/fg_refresh
Almost all tweaks will be restored to default after reboots.
So you can make your tweaks as init.d scripts or make scripts with SManager app to apply them at boot.
Just flash in my Xperia Go. Boot fine, and work just fine. Need some time to tune and test the battery and smoothness. :good::good::good:

Brave Kernel Xperia Go Test
The test kernel boot fine.
Using the test kernel for a day. Kernel work awesomely.
Only found out that Interactive governor tunables not optimize for xperia go.
The governor not tune according to xperia go cpu, the tuneable are the same with my nexus 5
So i change the hispeed freq from 1190400 to 1000000, etc...
Now gonna test the kernel battery life, will let the phone idle for over night and then see the battery usage.
New release is out!
Version 1.3 of BraveKernel Refresh is out!
This version fixes the few bugs of the previous version and includes many new features like F2FS, look at second post for learning how to use this feature

Current Stable Version: v1.0
Stable Release Date: 2014-12-24
Created 2014-12-24

HOW TOs
HOW TO PLAY WITH THIS KERNEL
Terminal emulator or ADB shell is needed.
If any command outputs 'Permission denied', you need su permission.
`???` stands for the number to input.
Sometimes you will need to mount and unmount debugfs partition:
For mounting it:
Code:
mount -t debugfs debugfs /d
For unmounting it:
Code:
umount /d
Boot time:
To check boot time:
Code:
cat /sys/boottime/kernel
CPU governors:
Performance, Interactive (default), Powersave, Userspace, Conservative, InteractiveQ, PegasusQ, HotPlug, OnDemandQ, OnDemand, AbyssPlug, LulzactiveQ, SmartAssv2
- OnDemand has been patched with cpu idle detection.
- Most of custom governors are based on ondemand/interactive.
- OndemandQ/InteractiveQ will hotplug cpu when screen turns off only.
- If you care about the battery life time, choose HotPlug. It hotplugs cpu frequently.
- Interactive updated to linux-android-3.4 (recommended).
- LulzactiveQ, will hotplug CPU1.
I/O schedulers:
SIO, SIO-Plus, VR, BFQ, CFQ, NO-OP, ZEN, ROW, Deadline
- Default IO scheduler: SIO-Plus
- SIO/ROW/SIO-Plus recommended!
FRandom module:
Code:
insmod /system/lib/modules/frandom.ko
chmod 0666 /dev/frandom
chmod 0666 /dev/erandom
mv /dev/random /dev/random.orig
mv /dev/urandom /dev/urandom.orig
ln -s /dev/frandom /dev/random
ln -s /dev/frandom /dev/urandom
Deepest sleep state:
Stock: 3 Default: 3
Deepest supported is 5.
Mount debugfs
To change deepest sleep state:
Code:
echo 5 > /d/cpuidle/deepest_state
- HotPlug governors works badly with 5.
- OnDemand works well with 5.
- Please note that it won’t increase the using time but standby time.
- You can add an init.d script to tweak it if you want.
To check the cpuidle state:
Code:
cat /d/cpuidle/stats
Management of not killable processes:
This feature allows to define processes and system processes white-lists filled with the preferred process names and to not be killed by lowmemorykiller, unless it is absolutely necessary.
This feature exposes four new lowmemorykiller parameters:
- donotkill_proc, is the flag to enable / disable this feature for the processes chosen by the user
- donotkill_sysproc, is the flag to enable / disable this feature for the system processes chosen by the user
- donotkill_proc_names, is the list of process names (comma separated) chosen by the user to be preserved from killing
- donotkill_sysproc_names, is the list of user system process names (comma separated) chosen by the user to be preserved from killing
When the lowmemorykiller needs to free ram, it will first kill the processes not included inside the two process name lists chosen by the user.
If there are no more standard killable processes, then it will be necessary to kill one of the processes included inside one of the two white-lists, to prevent system hangs, slowdowns, etc.
How to customize the white lists of processes to preserve from killing:
- Run these commands if you want to enable the feature
Code:
# To enable this feature for the processes chosen by the user
echo 1 > /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/donotkill_proc
# To enable this feature for the system processes chosen by the user
echo 1 > /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/donotkill_sysproc
- Run these commands if you want to disable the feature
Code:
# To disable this feature for the processes chosen by the user
echo 0 > /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/donotkill_proc
# To disable this feature for the system processes chosen by the user
echo 0 > /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/donotkill_sysproc
- Run this command if you want to add, for example, Trebuchet Launcher (CM default launcher) and the default keyboard to the processes white list
Code:
echo "com.cyanogenmod.trebuchet,android.inputmethod.latin" > /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/donotkill_proc_names
- Run this command if you want to add, for example, the system process, the phone process and DSP Manager to the system processes white list
Code:
echo "android.process.acore,com.android.phone,com.bel.android.dspmanager" > /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/donotkill_sysproc_names
zRAM:
zRAM is optimized for Android. It is not lazy anymore. Recommended zRAM instead of SWAP.
Using zRAM will take a little CPU, because it needs to compress/decompress memory.
Recommended compressing about 18% of RAM, about 100MB.
Setup disk size first: (example: 200MB)
Code:
echo $((200 * 1024 * 1024)) > /sys/block/zram0/disksize
- Larger size more RAM will be compressed.
- Too large size might make phone lag
To enable:
Code:
mkswap /dev/block/zram0
swapon /dev/block/zram0
To check how many does it use:
Code:
cat /sys/block/zram0/num_reads
cat /sys/block/zram0/num_writes
cat /proc/meminfo | grep swap
- We can get other info in its sysfs
Swap:
Using a file as swap RAM: (Create a continuity file first)
Code:
su
cd /cache
dd if=/dev/zero of=swapfile bs=1024 count=81920
mkswap swapfile
swapon swapfile
Then we will have 80MB of swap RAM.
Cycle Charging Control:
Similar to BLX by Ezekeel. It can be used to limit the battery charging level.
Example: Limit the battery level at 70% ~ 75%
Enable:
Code:
echo on > /sys/kernel/abb-fg/fg_cyc
Disable:
Code:
echo off > /sys/kernel/abb-fg/fg_cyc
Discharging threshold (battery level %):
Code:
echo dischar=75 > /sys/kernel/abb-fg/fg_cyc
Recharging threshold:
Code:
echo dischar=70 > /sys/kernel/abb-fg/fg_cyc
Real charged notification:
Well, please let me call it notification.
To be honest, it needs to check manually:
Code:
cat /sys/kernel/abb-chargalg/eoc_status
- You can use Root Browser to view these files in /sys/kernel/abb-chargalg
- When it says "First eoc reached", then the UI should show you charged 100%, but it is not the real full charged.
- When it says the real EOC reached, unplug the charger.
POnKey Emulator:
This is the software emulator of power key.
To turn off screen: ( 20 < value(ms) < 520 )
Code:
echo 100 > /sys/kernel/abb-ponkey/emulator
To active the power menu: ( 520 < value(ms) < ∞)
Code:
echo 800 > /sys/kernel/abb-ponkey/emulator
ABBamp Audio:
Please note that listening to too high volume music over 1 hour or more can damage your ears.
Too high volume can make your external speakers/headset overload or damage them.
First, why is it called `AMP`?
Because most of our tweaks are about gain(volume)
Our codec is simple, It doesn't have any hardware EQ (although i want...)
ABBamp sysfs entries are in:
/sys/kernel/abb-codec
- Use Root Browser to view this folder,there are lots files
Tweaks will take effects immediately!
Most tweaks will accept inputs like "on", "off" (no quotes)...
So, say "on" to enable this tweak, then this tweak will apply the value stored/inputed
View (cat) these files, most of them will give you useful information about this tweak.
They will show you the volume in dB of gain
`cd` to /sys/kernel/abb-codec first then do echos, will be more convenient.
AnaGain3 (Headset analog gain path):
Enable tweaks:
Code:
echo on > /sys/kernel/abb-codec/anagain3
Disable tweaks:
Code:
echo off > /sys/kernel/abb-codec/anagain3
Gain control: (min:0 ,max: 15) Lower value,higher volume (default: 0[+4dB])
Code:
echo left=?? > /sys/kernel/abb-codec/anagain3
echo right=?? > /sys/kernel/abb-codec/anagain3
Write both left and right channels:
Code:
echo gain=?? > /sys/kernel/abb-codec/anagain3
HsLDigGain (Headset left digital path gain):
Enable tweaks:
Code:
echo on > /sys/kernel/abb-codec/hsldiggain
Disable tweaks:
Code:
echo off > /sys/kernel/abb-codec/hsldiggain
Gain control: (min:0 ,max: 15) Lower value,higher volume (default: 4[+4dB])
Code:
echo gain=?? > /sys/kernel/abb-codec/hsldiggain
HsRDigGain (Headset right digital path gain):
Enable tweaks:
Code:
echo on > /sys/kernel/abb-codec/hsrdiggain
Disable tweaks:
Code:
echo off > /sys/kernel/abb-codec/hsrdiggain
Gain control: (min:0 ,max: 15) Lower value,higher volume (default: 4[+4dB])
Code:
echo gain=?? > /sys/kernel/abb-codec/hsrdiggain
Headset Volume Table:
value | volume
0.......+8dB (maximum)
1.......+7dB
2.......+6dB
3.......+5dB
4.......+4dB (tweaks default)
5.......+3dB
6.......+2dB
7.......+1dB
8.......+0dB (device default)
>=9....mute
- If set up digital path +4dB, analog gain +4dB, the result will get over +8dB
HsLowPow (Headset driver low power mode):
This lowpow mode is enabled by device normally.
If you want high performance audio instead of LPA(low power audio) you can disable it.
Enable tweaks:
Code:
echo on > /sys/kernel/abb-codec/hslowpow
Disable tweaks:
Code:
echo off > /sys/kernel/abb-codec/hslowpow
To tweak the mode (0: disable LP mode, 1: enable LP mode)
Code:
echo mode=? > /sys/kernel/abb-codec/hslowpow
HsDacLowPow (Headset DAC low power mode):
DAC is Digital-to-Analong Converter.
This lowpow mode is enabled by device normally.
Enable tweaks:
Code:
echo on > /sys/kernel/abb-codec/hsdaclowpow
Disable tweaks:
Code:
echo off > /sys/kernel/abb-codec/hsdaclowpow
To tweak the mode (0: disable LP mode, 1: enable LP mode)
Code:
echo mode=? > /sys/kernel/abb-codec/hsdaclowpow
HsHpEn (Headset high pass filter):
This high pass filter is disabled by device normally.
Enable this can reduce some sub-noise of audio.
Enable tweaks:
Code:
echo on > /sys/kernel/abb-codec/hshpen
Disable tweaks:
Code:
echo off > /sys/kernel/abb-codec/hshpen
To tweak the mode (0: disable highpass filter, 1: enable highpass filter)
Code:
echo mode=? > /sys/kernel/abb-codec/hshepen
Besides, the file anaconf1 will shows you the status of LPA
ClassDHPG (ClassD high-pass gain):
ClassD is a kind of amplifier.
According to the documents, our ClassD only relate to Handsfree(speaker).
This can increase the high frequencies sound of speaker
Enable tweaks:
Code:
echo on > /sys/kernel/abb-codec/classdhpg
Disable tweaks:
Code:
echo off > /sys/kernel/abb-codec/classdhgp
Gain control: (min:0 ,max: 10) higher value,higher gain (default: 10[Max gain])
Code:
echo gain=?? > /sys/kernel/abb-codec/classdhpg
ClassDDithWGain:
Gain control for the white component of dithering filter
Enable tweaks:
Code:
echo on > /sys/kernel/abb-codec/classdwg
Disable tweaks:
Code:
echo off > /sys/kernel/abb-codec/classdwp

Code:
echo gain=?? > /sys/kernel/abb-codec/classdwg
ADDigGain2:
This is the audio path of mic2(phone mic, not headset mic)
This tweak will enable automatically when mic2 is enabled by device
Enable tweaks:
Code:
echo on > /sys/kernel/abb-codec/addiggain2
Disable tweaks:
Code:
echo off > /sys/kernel/abb-codec/addiggain2
Gain control: (min:0 ,max: 63) lower value, higher gain (default: [+6dB], max: 00[+31dB])
Code:
echo gain=?? > /sys/kernel/abb-codec/addiggain2
EarDigGain:
This is the digital gain of earpiece
Enable tweaks:
Code:
echo on > /sys/kernel/abb-codec/eardiggain
Disable tweaks:
Code:
echo off > /sys/kernel/abb-codec/eardiggain
Gain control: (min:0 ,max: 15) lower value,higher gain (default: 4[+4dB])
Code:
echo gain=?? > /sys/kernel/abb-codec/classdwg
- It uses the same path of HsLDigGain,please check the volume table of HsLDigGain
- +8 dB might crash the sound of earpiece
ShortCirConf:
Code:
This is a misc tweak
View shortcir this file first
[7] EnShortPWD
0: Automatic switch off on short circuit detection is disabled
1: Automatic switch off on short circuit detection is enabled
[6] EarShortDis
0: Short circuit detection on Ear driver enabled
1: Short circuit detection on Ear driver disabled
[5] HsShortDis
0: Short circuit detection on HsL and HsR drivers enabled
1: Short circuit detection on HsL and HsR drivers disabled
[4] HsPullDEn
0: HsL and HsR outputs are in high impedance
1: HsL and HsR outputs are pulled down to ground
[2] HsOscEn (ABBamp enables it by default)
0: The HS drivers use the system clock
1: The HS drivers use a local oscillator (system clock absent: analog path only)
[1] HsFadDis
0: All intermediate steps are applied between two programmed gains (fading)
1: Gain on HS is applied immediately
[0] HsZcdDis
0: HS gain changes on signal zero cross (unless time-out occurs)
1: HS gain is changed without zero cross control
[CODE]echo ?? ?? > /sys/kernel/abb-codec/shortcir
- The first ?? the slot of each option,the second ?? stands for the value to write to this slot
- View shortcir this file,you will get it[/CODE]
AnaConf4:
This interface controls the enables of analog path
We can use it to disable Speaker in kernel level.
So that you don't have to use the "mute all sound" in system settings,
Because, "mute all sound" will also mute Earpiece, which is inconvenient for us in calls.
Command format: Check anaconf4 first, This interface is a bit different from others:
Code:
echo [Index] [Disable?] > anaconf4
To Disable Speaker:
Code:
echo 5 1 > anaconf4
To Enable Speaker:
Code:
echo 5 0 > anaconf4
Headset Charge Pump:
Code:
echo 0 > chargepump to use fixed 1.8V supply.
echo 1 > chargepump to use dynamic voltage supply, lower power cost.
Lower-power Audio Mode:
Code:
echo on > lpa_mode to enable LPA mode
echo vape=0x?? > lpa_mode to adjust Vape voltage used in LPA mode
Experts!:
This method can work on any ab850x codec platform!
Mount debugfs
cd /d/asoc/U8500-card/ab8500-codec.0
Play music, reduce the volume.
Now we are going to edit the codec registers.
Code:
echo REG VAL > codec_reg
E.G:
AnaGain3:
Code:
echo 0x16 0x00 > codec_reg
HsDigGain: (left/right channel)
Code:
echo 0x4F 0x00 > codec_reg
echo 0x50 0x00 > codec_reg
Disable all lowpow mode:
Code:
echo 0x04 0x00 > codec_reg
- These hacks will restore when codec power off.
Camera LED Flash:
Turn on torch with more brightness, turning this on for a long time will heat up your device, be careful!
Enable/Disable:
Code:
echo 1/0 > /sys/devices/platform/nmk-i2c.2/i2c-2/2-0053/torch_enable
echo 149600 > /sys/devices/platform/nmk-i2c.2/i2c-2/2-0053/torch_current
FSync control:
Get current status:
Code:
cat /sys/kernel/fsync/mode
FSYNC modes:
0: fsync on
1: fsync off
2: fsync dyn
Disable FSYNC:
Code:
echo 1 > /sys/kernel/fsync/mode
Disabling fsync can improve I/O performance, but it can make the data which hasn't been written lose when a sudden power cut occurs.
Enable Dynamic FSYNC:
Code:
echo 2 > /sys/kernel/fsync/mode
- Dynamic fsync will sync all buffers when screen turns off.
- If there is a heavy I/O load, the screen might get stuck for seconds.
Mali GPU:
Mali debug level:
Disabling can speed up a bit
Code:
echo 0 > /sys/module/mali/parameters/mali_debug_level
- Higher level, more messages will be printed in dmesg, system will slow down
Mali L2 max reads control: (Stock:28kb,Default:48kb(max))
Code:
echo xx > /sys/module/mali/parameters/mali_l2_max_read
- Some values will slow down graphics
- If not sure, keep default
Mali PM sampling rate: (Default: 1000ms)
Code:
echo xx > /sys/module/mali/parameters/mali_pm_sampling_rate
Mali PP scheduler tweaks: (Default: disable)
Code:
echo 1 > /sys/module/mali/parameters/mali_pp_scheduler_balance_jobs
- Enabling this, some places will over ahead, choose by yourself
Mali Utilization sampling rate: (Stock:500ms, Default:1000ms)
How often report a mali utilization.
Code:
echo xxx > /sys/module/mali/parameters/mali_utilization_sampling_rate
- Keep this default if unsure.
Mali utilization control:
(Default: low_to_high 192 high_to_low 64)
Our driver will report a mali utilization frequently.
This utilization(range: 0~255) means the load of mali.
If utilization is bigger than low_to_high, driver will request higher hardware performance(highest APE/DDR OPP).
If utilization is smaller than high_to_low, the driver will store the requested OPP(uses low OPP).
OPP can be understood as freq simply.
To check mali utilization values:
Code:
echo 5 > /sys/module/mali/parameters/mali_debug_level
cat /proc/kmsg | grep -i utilization
When it says SIGNAL_HIGH, it will request highest OPP.
When it says SIGNAL_LOW, it will request lowest OPP.
Press Ctrl+C to stop printing.
You can reduce low_to_high to trigger higher OPP requirement.
For smoothness and less powersaving:
Set low_to_high between 100-192.
Code:
echo 120 > mali_utilization_low_to_high
Mali max preemptive allocated max memory size:
Default is 16mb(16*1024*1024), bigger max size more throughput.
But when this value is too big, no more throughput.
For example: 48mb = 48*1024*1024
Code:
echo 50331648 > /sys/module/mali/parameters/pre_allocated_memory_size_max
Mali OS Kernel memory allocation order:
The lower value, the higher preference of allocating OS memory.
The default value is 6, I decreased it to 9 to fix OS memory allocation failure.
If you feel laggy, try 6 (default by driver)
Code:
echo 6 > /sys/module/mali/parameters/mali_oskmem_allocorder
TCP congestions:
Supported:
cubic(default), westwood, highspeed, vegas, veno, yeah
To check all the available options:
Code:
busybox sysctl net.ipv4.tcp_available_congestion_control
To change to other option:
Code:
busybox sysctl -w net.ipv4.tcp_congestion_control=YOU_WANT_TO
Latency - Download - Upload
cubic:
1st run: 15ms - 10,75Mbps - 7,82Mbps
2nd run: 14ms - 10,84Mbps - 8,06Mbps
westwood:
1st run: 11ms - 17,65Mbps - 8,30Mbps
2nd run: 13ms - 13,28Mbps - 8,29Mbps
highspeed:
1st run: 13ms - 10,76Mbps - 7,94Mbps
2nd run: 16ms - 14,42Mbps - 8,52Mbps
vegas:
1st run: 14ms - 8,49Mbps - 6,62Mbps
2nd run: 14ms - 12,00Mbps - 7,07Mbps
veno:
1st run: 13ms - 9,58Mbps - 8,13Mbps
2nd run: 13ms - 8,50Mbps - 7,64Mbps
yeah:
1st run: 14ms - 13,37Mbps - 8,28Mbps
2nd run: 17ms - 13,89Mbps - 8,14Mbps
- In fact, every congestion is designed for different environments.
- Google to learn more!
EGL Driver:
To use Mali hardware egl driver only:
Edit /system/lib/egl.cfg
0 0 android
0 1 mali
To
0 0 mali
Then remove libGLES_android.so
- Recommend to backup these files
- In case it cannot boot,use TWRP file manager to recover changes
Logcat:
Create a new file(empty file) named logger in /data
When this file exists, kernel will load logger.ko for you automatically
Miscellaneous:
To refresh battery stats:
Code:
echo 1 > /sys/kernel/abb-fg/fg_refresh
Almost all tweaks will be restored to default after reboots.
So you can make your tweaks as init.d scripts or make scripts with SManager app to apply them at boot.

tried it last night seems much better than stock cm11 kernel.
battery life seems to be better too and performance is also great.
Been using it for half a day.
It once rebooted unexpectedly while I was browsing a webpage.
Also, the notification LED does not blink.

Great work! It's always nice to see kernel improvements..
the performance increased a little and the load times (when opening an app that is not in the background) are reduced slightly
on the negative side, the LEDs went crazy.. the notification LED is working but does not blink, it stays solid until it is dismissed.
the torch is not working (tried the torch app in the ROM, 3rd party Torch app.. no luck).
Shall i take a logcat when running the torch?
> I use XP (lol) with SlimKat 8.10 which is the latest, i didn't crazily modify the rom so it's almost a fresh install
