Just for fun, I compiled an optimized version of stock kernel.
It works with stock ROM for Moto X Pure, not tested with anything else.
Changes:
O3
Uber toolchain
strict-aliasing
misc gcc optimization flags
CPU Governors
IO Schedulers
CPU HotPlugins
KCAL
Based on stock source:
https://github.com/MotorolaMobilityLLC/kernel-msm/tree/MMI-LPH23.116-18.1/
Optimization ideas are taken from:
https://github.com/XileForce/Vindicator-S6
Some features are taken from:
https://github.com/kirananto/ONEPLUS2RAZOR/
Final source code:

How to use:
1. Download and unpack
2. Reboot to bootloader:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
3. Boot temporary with new kernel (active till next reboot):
Code:
fastboot boot v4tk-kernel-uber-alias.img
or flash permanently:
Code:
fastboot flash boot v4tk-kernel-uber-alias.img
AWESOME!!!!! Was following you (pretty sure it was you) on GIThub. Been trying to compile my own for awhile now, with nothing but problems like the f2fs, etc..... Being this was my first try on kernels, I need some major help like your source, lol. Major thanks!!!!!

Is adb active on boot? I need to debug a no boot issue, and after I tried modifying the init.rc to try to enable adbd at boot things.....it didn't work?

Basically the kernel starts adb as soon as the device powers up, to help get a logcat to debug a no boot or boot loop. LINK
No WiFi on XT1572. Everything else seems fine.
Sent from my XT1572 using Tapatalk
WiFi works fine on xt1575. Have u tried clearing catche and dalvik?
Also benchmarks show no improvement, but overall feel seems more fluid IMO. Some of the best kernels I've use in the past have followed this trend.
sweet I need some stock rooted love for now! also is there any chance for flashable zip?
I was just wondering if you had any plans going further on this kernel? Such as custom governors, I/O schedulers, etc.? Just flashed this, to early to tell anything right now. Everything seems OK. Thank you.

the kernel runs nice it does feel little snappier I wonder if the sms keyboard lag will go away with this kernel.
I will report if it does go away with this kernel this was the only thing that was making me mad sometimes the keyboard would lag when typing (any keyboard)

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

Do you have to type uber fast? I was under the impression that I did have fast fingers but maybe not. I only send 800 or so messages per month. I'm part of the generation that prefers to communicate verbally though.

I used to use Chomp on my note4 so at first I was using it and I tried few sms-apps and keyboards the keyboard lag would always come back. But so far with this kernel so good, can't tell yet but so far I was no lag.

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

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

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

Flashed v2, very slowly, even in his native launcher in ondemand mode.
On V1 was ok, only 2 times rebooted itself in sleep mode.
select another governer
conservative is fast
v2b or v3 will be released today or tomorrow without any lag

Is there any problems with 1.2 GHz freq that you didn't include it to the ROM For now the highest freq is 1.15GHz...
no didn't add it
maybe in the next update (if we get some things figured out)
Liberator is an OC/UC daemon similar to, and based on virtuous.
It's a native app, which runs via an init.d script on startup.
It has 4 profiles, which can be set up to change the governor, scheduler, and min/max freqs.
Profiles:
Normal - The default profile.
Sleep - Kicks in when the screen turns off.
Charging - Kicks in when the screen is on, and the phone is charging.
Low Battery - Kicks in while the screen is on, not charging, and the battery percentage falls below the defined level.
Source & Readme - https://github.com/chris41g/android_external_liberator
Download Link - http://chris41g.devphone.org/index.php?dir=Liberator/
I suggest uninstalling any utilities that set the CPU freqs or governor.
I wrote this to work with any ROM, or device.. but things don't always work out the way they are intended to.
If you have any problems, Iet me know so I can get this thing done!
My explanation from irc:
Code:
<chris41g> ok let me explain it
<chris41g> do you underclock or overclock? and do you change governors or scheduler?
<chris41g> its basically a C daemon that replace Setcpu, CPU tweaker, CPU Master etc
<chris41g> way faster since its written in native C, uses less resources and battery
<chris41g> it has 4 profiles.. Normal, Charging, Screen Off, Low Battery
<chris41g> and you can set min/max freq, sched, and governor for each profile...
<chris41g> by setting text files in /system/etc/Liberator
Deleted
Is this set up with default values so I can just flash and use?
NVM I viewed them , and they are. The default "normal" governor is set to ondemand and the scheduler is set to noop, are these the most battery efficient choices?
NVM Found this thread explaining governors http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1369817
I normally use setcpu, but since you have a 3511 thanks and counting and you say this "uses less resources & battery" then Ill use this. Thx

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

Welcome to the first custom kernel for the Samsung Galaxy Note 4.Providing instability to the masses since October 21, 2014
This kernel currently supports most North American carriers. Automatic selection is provided through the use of specialized recovery packages that will detect your device version and make appropriate adjustments.
Mereology (from the Greek μερος, ‘part’) is the theory of parthood relations: of the relations of part to whole and the relations of part to part within a whole. I do not take responsibility for anything these days, but I'll try to do my part and help.

Will be nice if you can provide two different build. One without all the fancy things that some people wont have use for, such as overclocking, close to stock as possible but still provide stability, smoothness, and better battery life.
Some kernel makers just slap everything they can onto a kernel and in the long wrong, it is simply instable or provide hicups (that they will never own up to lol)
Nice job twisted keep it coming...

I don't provide anything I wouldn't run on my own device. If you want it to be stock, vote for stock. If that is what wins, that is what I will build. It is enough to provide a single kernel for a bunch of devices without trying to keep track of per-device versions. I slap everything I can onto a kernel, test it, then delete or fix the broken stuff. My github is always current and anything I changed is clearly published to point the finger at whoever it needs to be pointed at.
Lol just throwing it out there , that is my vote

You're starting to sound like the Best Buy reps when Windows 8 came out. At least before they had to start telling everyone 8.1 was coming to fix how terrible it turned out being once people started using it.
You have to run cygwin or an Ubuntu VM inside windows to build Android. You can run windows AND Ubuntu as windowed applications on Mac. Seems unnecessary when the real issue is consistency in the cm repos. The instructions say to get the Linux compiler ports, while detection identifies the platform compilers.

I don't know how good of an idea messing with the adaptive charging would be, but I'll look into it. It depends if that functionality is tied into the USB port charging or not.
It is great that you have done this work and I (along with a bunch of others) are really grateful - it would be nice if we could flash this -
Doesn't work with Odin - not sure about the other option you mentioned, I personally have never used that method -
So - any instructions you can offer would be great - unless you feel it is not appropriate to flash this yet?
Your help - and input is greatly appreciated.

Will be nice if you can provide two different build. One without all the fancy things that some people wont have use for, such as overclocking, close to stock as possible but still provide stability, smoothness, and better battery life.
Some kernel makers just slap everything they can onto a kernel and in the long wrong, it is simply instable or provide hicups (that they will never own up to lol)

I agree with this wholeheartedly. I personally loved leanKernel on my Note 3 - all the latest fixes and improvements without 40000 things that only crazy experimenters and overclockers would use. I'd love a solid, lean, and mean daily-driver kernel.

Ironically, modifying imoseyon's kernels was how I first learned to build. I took his and added those one or two additional things I found somewhere else and wanted to use. Right now, I am working on getting intellidemand updated for this kernel, but I am only looking to get a few options that really work well so if there are better, let me know.
For the TCP congestion avoidance, it appears that enabling advanced options somehow broke selection. It appears to work just fine, but that troubles me. I don't want to force a setting for that, but if it comes down to it, I may have to limit the options.
Veno, from some documentation I've recently read, was the optimal option for mobile network performance. I believe it was reno that was best for wifi performance, but I have to go back and read up again.
I added some code for fast charge to be verified, but the layout is much different than most Samsung phones, so I won't know if it works until I attempt to blow up my phone.

You're welcome.
The default configuration (Interactive + Zen) is good.
OK it's only been a few hours but battery already looks better with this kernel. I'm using lionfish + fiops. Good stuff.
Sent from my XT1563 using Tapatalk
Since flashing this kernel, I have no call function. Keeps ending milliseconds after calling.
Any suggestions?
Sent from my XT1562 using fingers
EDIT: fine now. Had to adjust APN settings
So while the kernel seems to boost battery life with the right governor, it also seems to cause the phone to freeze up randomly and eventually reboot, at least with the 10/09 build of the AOSP Nougat ROM. It happened a few times after the screen had gone to sleep and it just wouldn't come on again. I only tried 2 governors - lionfish and bluactive - so I have no idea whether it's the governors or the kernel.

The phones does go to hard sleep if governor is lionfish. Interactive seems fine.

Well the whole point - for me - of installing the kernel was to try goverors other than interactive That said, I did give Interactive a try, and I got a reboot. But I was suspecting the problem might be the Instagram app, which I installed right after flashing the kernel the first time. Sure enough, removing Instagram has gotten rid of the problems with all the governors I have tried - no more reboots or freeze-ups.
To be honest Instagram might even cause problems with AOSP 7 even without this kernel, I have to admit I haven't tested that (though I don't think so). In any case, beware the Instagram app...

I spoke too soon. Another reboot with Interactive, but without Instagram - so it's not that. Suspect it's Greenify actually, I had it in Shallow Hibernation (forgot, thought I had turned it off). Would be consistent with the issues I had with bluactive and lionfish, and the issues reported above.

What value do I set for notification light? I can see for charging, etc but no notification.
This is the first project I've shared on XDA, though I've maintained it for personal use for a while and posted some prior incarnations on Google+. Hope you enjoy it!

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

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

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

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

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

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