Not yet buddy, initial release today and working on m2.
Thanks for your interest
Your op is hilarious. Toast breakfast on my Shamu. Haha! That's awesome! Look forward to M2 build. I'm an Elite user now and love it but always down to try a new kernel. Tks!
Thanks for this new kernel just using on my nexus6 can provide best setting for performance in terms of speed or use with default setting ,please guide its my request .
Looks like a good kernel, thanks. Did you plan fauxsound in the future? It's for me a must have. Cheers

@RP74698: for daily use... Intelliplug or Alucard and yankactive... UKSM active... For battery auto_SMP or dyn_hotplug and zzmoove. For balance... Any other gov. GPU msm_adreno since it has the adreno idler by arter
@Tylog: I'm planning to add a sound control maybe faux's maybe not you'll see
Thanks to everyone for your comments!
What is UKSM active and how use this Sir
That's good Faux or whatever, only V4a is not enough for me, I need my music loud thanks.
Linux kernel has a feature named KSM(Kernel SamePage Merging). it lets the hypervisor system share identical memory pages amongst different processes or virtualized guests. However, it has its limitation such like high CPU usage and slow responses to workload change. So here comes UKSM. With a revolutionary algorithm redesign, UKSM has many advanced features:
Full system scan.*It automatically scans all user processes’ anonymous VMAs. Before UKSM, a process need to call KSM kernel API to submit its memory areas to KSM for scan. This makes many legacy software other than KVM can NOT benefit from KSM. Now, UKSM scans whole system applications including KVM. All programs benefit from UKSM without even knowing how it works.
Super quiet CPU usage.*It automatically detects rich areas containing abundant duplicated pages. Rich areas are given a full scan speed. Poor areas are sampled at a reasonable speed with very low CPU consumption usually under 1%. Our benchmarks show that even for CPU intensive workloads, it has a negligible performance impact. Ultra scan speed and CPU efficiency.*A new hash algorithm is proposed. More on this...UKSM info
Thanks!!
Where is allocated UKSM in your kernel and how activate this as I'm using kernel auditor app not seeing anywhere ,only seeing KSM and this is active by default .

Hi my friend.. This is UKSM on Kernel Aduitor (Kernel Same Page Merging), is active by default. Since it saves CPU cycles when merging files and making changes it will save battery and increase overall system performance. No need to activate it.
Thanks for your testing!
Thanks Sir

Dear Sir ,please one more thing when trying to active Alucard only hot plug with yank active CPU governed ,Intelliplug automatic on while I have switched off .
Dear Sir ,seems Intelliplug is active by default as guided earlier for daily use I'm trying to use yank active alacurd and ukm active controlling through synapse but inytelli automatically active ,while I have activated only Alacurd please see

What's up guys... this is the first release of the Matr1x kernel for N4. I am starting off real simple (I set deadline as the default I/O scheduler and tweaked some values)
There is much more to come!
Also, I will start posting the kernels at www.matr1xkernels.com soon... for now please use the mediafire link. You can flash this in recovery.

Wooooooooahhhh! What? Two cores only?
The ONDEMAND governor either shuts down two of them, or it has Hotplug enabled, or there's just some kind of a mistake. I don't know, might be a bit of a noobish comment.
Can anyone solve this for us?

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

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

Gonna try it real soon.
Thanks for the work!

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

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

ERMAHGERD! KERNEL!
Build 13.02.22
Welcome to my latest learning project. This is a result of me wanting to better understand how kernels are put together. I'm dipping my toes a bit at first, but I'm going to be doing quite a few different things as time goes on, and it's only going to get more complex and I get more comfortable with the process. Successful things will stick around, unsuccessful or little used features may get squashed out over time to keep things as lean as possible.
Features:
Compiled with Linaro 13.01 toolchain and -O3 optimizations
Upstreamed to Linux 3.0.63
Undervoltable - Use SVS compatible CPU control app
Kernel mpdecision enhancements by showp1984
ARM optimized multi-core topology scheduler by the Linaro team
New I/O Schedulers:
ROW - Read Over Write - A new I/O scheduler designed from the ground up specifically for flash based mobile devices. It is designed to give priority to reads without starving writes, but does not implement any fairness. (default scheduler)
Zen - noop with a touch of deadline. Aims for simplicity. Implements deadlines for fairness and gives priority to synchronous requests. No merging or reordering of operations is performed.
SIO - Simple IO - Another mix of noop and deadline. Implements deadlines for fairness and performs minimal merging. No priority or reordering of operations are performed.
Fast charge support - Allows any charger to be seen as AC. Requires app to toggle fast charge mode
zRam (compcache) support with frontswap - Allows creation of swap space using a portion of compressed RAM, and uses free uncompressed RAM when possible to minimize I/O operations
New CPU Governors
Lionheart - A performance tuned variant of conservative
Intellidemand - Intelligent ondemand. Scales relative to GPU load
Wheatley - Governor with a great sleep profile. Perfect for users with lots of idle time
All drivers integrated into kernel
Single installer for ICS AOSP and JB pmem AOSP versions
Loads of memory and I/O optimizations for a smoother overall experience
See changelog history for even more features
To enable zRam after installation, go into a terminal and execute "zramenable" as root. It will activate immediately and reactivate on every boot. To disable it, run "zramdisable" as root. It will remove the boot scripts and immediately disable zRam and recover the RAM used. Note to ROM developers: if you include this kernel in your ROM, these files will need to be extracted from this installer and included in yours if you wish to include zRam support.
Fast charge support requires the use of a compatible fast charge toggle app, such as this or this.

Okay guys OBAR now contains its own kernel! So I want to give you a bit of information that may help you to decide how you want to set up it up! I will always keep this post updated with all the latest version release information. Will label dates next to each new update to show what is new!
I/O Scheduler Information - GPU:
FIOPS - This is an IOPS based I/O scheduler. It will try to distribute IOPS equally among all processes in the system. It's mainly for Flash based storage.
SIO - The Simple I/O scheduler is an extremely simple scheduler, based on noop and deadline, that relies on deadlines to ensure fairness. The algorithm does not do any sorting but basic merging, trying to keep a minimum overhead. It is aimed mainly for aleatory access devices (eg: flash devices).
NOOP - The no-op I/O scheduler is a minimal scheduler that does basic merging and sorting. Its main uses include non-disk based block devices like memory devices, and specialised software or hardware environments that do their own scheduling and require only minimal assistance from the kernel.
DEADLINE - The deadline I/O scheduler is simple and compact. It will provide CSCAN service with FIFO expiration of requests, switching to a new point in the service tree and doing a batch of IO from there in case of expiry.
CFQ - The CFQ I/O scheduler tries to distribute bandwidth equally among all processes in the system. It should provide a fair and low latency working environment, suitable for both desktop and server systems.
BFQ - The BFQ I/O scheduler tries to distribute bandwidth among all processes according to their weights. It aims at distributing the bandwidth as desired, independently of the disk parameters and with any workload. It also tries to guarantee low latency to interactive and soft real-time applications. If compiled built-in (saying Y here), BFQ can be configured to support hierarchical scheduling.
BFQIO - Enable hierarchical scheduling in BFQ, using the cgroups filesystem interface. The name of the subsystem will be bfqio.
ZEN - FCFS, dispatches are back-inserted, deadlines ensure fairness. Should work best with devices where there is no travel delay.
Governor Information - CPU:
Simple Ondemand - Chooses frequency based on the recent load on the device. Works similar as ONDEMAND governor of CPUFREQ does. A device with Simple-Ondemand should be able to provide busy/total counter values that imply the usage rate. A device may provide tuned values to the governor with data field at devfreq_add_device().
Performance - Sets the frequency at the maximum available frequency. This governor always returns UINT_MAX as frequency so that the DEVFREQ framework returns the highest frequency available at any time.
Powersave - Sets the frequency at the minimum available frequency. This governor always returns 0 as frequency so that the DEVFREQ framework returns the lowest frequency available at any time.
Userspace - Sets the frequency at the user specified one. This governor returns the user configured frequency if there has been an input to /sys/devices/.../power/devfreq_set_freq. Otherwise, the governor does not change the frequnecy given at the initialization.
Blu_active - This allows you to get a full dynamic cpu frequency capable system by simply loading your cpufreq low-level hardware driver, using the 'interactive' governor for latency-sensitive workloads.
Nightmare (NEW 5/15) - This is a PegasusQ modified, less aggressive and more stable. A good compromise between performance and battery. In addition to the SoD is a prevention because it usually does not hotplug.
Darkness (NEW 5/15) - It's based on nightmare but more simple and fast, basic configs but very complex structure. It is an updated nightmare gov and improved stability, so far it is quite stable in tests.
Chill (NEW 5/15) - Use the CPUFreq governor 'chill' as default. This allows you to get a full dynamic frequency capable system by simply loading your cpufreq low-level hardware driver. A conservative based governor that aims to provide more aggressive battery savings while screen is off.
Dance Dance (NEW 5/15) - Based on conservative with some smartass features, it scales accordingly to conservatives laws. So it will start from the bottom, take a load sample, if it's above the upthreshold, ramp up only one speed at a time, and ramp down one at a time. It will automatically cap the off screen speeds to 245Mhz, and if your min freq is higher than 245mhz, it will reset the min to 120mhz while screen is off and restore it upon screen awakening, and still scale accordingly to conservatives laws. So it spends most of its time at lower frequencies. The goal of this is to get the best battery life with decent performance. It is a performance focused governor but also blends with some battery savings.
Adreno Idler Information:
Enabled - Uses a different calculation method on top of Adreno TZ just for calculating frequency for idle to reduce the wasted power coming from stock Adreno TZ while maintaining high-performance.
Other Information:
Moved Core Control To Kernel - Moved core control from out-of-tree module into the kernel proper. Core control monitors load on CPUs and controls how many CPUs are available for the system to use at any point in time. This can help save power. Core control can be configured through sysfs interface.
Moved Core Control Trace Events To Scheduler
Added A Knob To Disable The core_ctl (Core Control) - The CPU hotplug tests does not work with core_ctl compiled statically into kernel. Provide an interface to disable the hotplug by core_ctl.
Enabled LZ4 Compression & Added ExFAT Filesystem
Fixed Various Issues

Mods are great, but I'd also be a fan of posting your base rom that is just the "stock features" you have listed above. A slim base version in addition to the modded out version basically.
Mods, mods, mods
So glad to see you over here on the sprint V20 Saint! You always put out great ROMs and you never disappoint! Looking forward to this one.
BTW, mod it up!
Thread closed temporarily at OP's request
Edit: Reopened at OP's request
Okay guys I was finally able to mod it up and make it a very worthy ROM. Enjoy!
Glad you found it useful, man.

Mod it up. Viper4 and 3minit battery are my favorite add ons.
Some debloat is nice.
I used to run OBAR on either my note 3 or 4.
Downloaded and excited to try it out - but loving classic rom to much to try it out just yet. Soon.
Thank You
Mod the daylights out of it!! I been dying for a good one like that WETA rom but cant use it. Im always dying to try something new tho
Running good on my v20. Nice and smooth. :good::good::good:
Used to love this on my note 4 good to see u bro
Hey guys,
Here is my second kernel project for you all to try. I did my first kernel project on the Google Pixel/XL.

I hope to achieve great performance while maintaining stability with this kernel.
I did a few performance tweaks and audio tweaks.
Features are:
Included blu_active CPU governor (you have to rename system/etc/pnp.xml to system/etc/pnp.xml.bak and reboot in order to use blu_active)
Enabled MAPLE, SIO, SIOPLUS, FIOPS, ZEN, TRIPNDROID, FIFO and DEADLINE IO scheduler
Enabled advanced TCP Congestion Control
Included GPU Boost
S2S across navbar area
KCAL color calibration
Button Mapper Support
Fsync On/Off support
Green Pulsating Notification LED
Fingerprint Double Tap to sleep support
Interface to boost memory bandwith upon turning on the screen to achieve faster wake up time
Slimbus Enhancement may improve audio quality
Button Light Notification from @tbalden
IO Sched Switcher
Interface to boost UFS Storage Controller

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

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

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

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