Hey I made a guide on reddit, and I should have just posted it here. The goal is to have a good battery life and for everything to be buttery smooth. I've updated it with my recommendations!
Depending on your usage and how well you took care of your battery, you should get anywhere from 5-8 hours of SOT.
1) Flash custom twrp recovery if needed.
2) Flash Rom.
3) Flash SU. (OPTIONAL)
3) Flash Kernel.
4) Flash ARISE or sound mod. (OPTIONAL) If you don't want the sound mod you can skip steps 6-9 if you'd like.
5) Restart phone. Go through setup phase.
6) Install file manager (I recommend Solid Explorer)
7) Install busybox (I recommend the one by meefik)
8) Open busybox app and update/install busybox.
9) Open your file explorer and go to root. Then go to vendor/etc. Rename audio_effects.conf to audio_effects.conf.bk and restart.
10) Install Snapchat. Yell at your phone.
11) Go to SuperSu app and completely unroot.
12) Restart.
13) Log into Snapchat.
14) Restart into recovery.
15) Flash SU.
16) Flash Kernel (just incase, probably not neccesssary).
17) Download Leandroid, Ex Kernel Manager, & Substratum.
18) Apply kernel tweaks, Choose settings for leandroid app & apply substratum theme if you want.

Sound Mod (Optional.. uses more battery): ARISE
Kernel Tweaks:
I would just use whatever nathan has as defaults for his kernel. If using a different kernel, I recommend using hawktail 1.2 gov profile.
Here are the additional tweaks I personally use.
CPU: Hotplugging: Enable msm_hotplug.
GRAPHICS: MAX GPU Freq: 180. If you play games that max out the gpu, you might not want to mess with the gpu freq.
MEMORY: zRAM disabled; UKSM DISABLED.
MISC: I/O SCHED MAPLE; READAHEAD 2048; VIBRATION 25%. Wakelocks I have enabled are: Sensor_ind, Bluedroid, msm_hsic. Cubic for TCP algorithm.
EX KERNEL SETTINGS DISABLE CHECK FOR UPDATES.
Leandroid Settings:
Disable: Wifi, Bluetooth, Network Location, GPS Location; Switch Cell data to 2g*
* Turning cell data off or to 2g makes ok google hotword when your screen is off kinda slow.
APPS THAT USE LESS BATTERY THAN WHAT YOU'RE USING:
Battery Saving Browser: Tugabrowser Turn on battery saver in settings. Uses 1/2 - 1/3 battery than what chrome uses.
Makes screen use less battery at low battery: Monochrome
Turns off % of pixels, saves battery: Pixel Filter
Facebook lite: Less annoying facebook
Facebook messenger lite: Less annoying facebook messenger
GLTOOLS: Used to make snapchat less laggy
Apply these changes to the settings of Snapchat in GLTools;
Enable custom settings for this app -> On
Force 16 bit rendering -> On
Optimize GLSL shaders -> On
Enable texture decompression -> Disable
Enable texture recompression -> Disable
Downscale textures -> Limit to 256x256 (If pictures or text become pixelated, change this to Disable)
Restart Snapchat
System Tweaks:
ENABLE DEV OPTIONS BY TAPPING ON BUILD NUMBER A BUNCH OF TIMES. UNCHECK Automatic system updates in developer options.
You can try this too, but personally I don't use it: https://forum.xda-developers.com/an...od-ultimate-performence-blazing-fast-t3482317 Flash the kernel again after you flash this.
Other than that enable amoled black themes in apps that you use.
Here are a few nice apps to have:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.phoenixstudios.aiogestures&hl=en - can enable full immersion mode, works pretty well.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.noxx.apm&rdid=com.noxx.apm - makes it so you can reboot to recovery easy pz.
ZSL Camera Faster camera.
Accubattery - Measure your battery stats and health.

I usually leave pixel filter off during the day, and just use it at 50% at night to make the screen a bit more dim. If I know I'm not going to be able to charge my phone for awhile, I'll use it during the day as well.
To use Nathan's defaults, do I just wipe settings in EX Kernel Manager and reboot? My hotplugging setting does not have msm_hotplug, only lazyplug. Is that the same? Thanks for sharing your tips.
Flash kernel have been updated and now have lazyplug in place of msm_hotplug. I am not sure if its not working or something but with lazyplug enabled, I still see all the cores running all the time vs msm_hotplug, I would see half the cores inactive when I am not using the phone heavily.
Would lazyplug be better than msm_hotplug?

What I understand different between those 2 hotplug was...
1. MSM_Hotplug - Some core are offline and become online when above certain value
2. Lazyplug - All core are online and it will only offline when below certain value
@Secretcow hey mate ! about this >>GRAPHICS: MAX GPU Freq: 180. If you play games that max out the gpu, you might not want to mess with the gpu freq. < about this i never game, so if i set it to 180 , do i have to tick the reboot circle yes?
because it is greyed out along with the other gpu settings.
and one more thing, is it safe to have these >> MEMORY: zRAM disabled; UKSM DISABLED. disabled ? which one is the one that affects data from the storage? i wouldnt want to mess with that x.x

NOTICE: This is COMPATIBLE with ALL Google Rooted Stock and Custom ROMs based on JellyBean 4.2!
Just a statement regarding kernel source: The Kernel Source is of course covered under GPL version 2. Free software does NOT mean no work or time was spent working on it. I have donated a large sum of my free time to hack this kernel. If you use my modified kernel source in parts or in its entirety, I kindly ask you mention its origins and to send me a github pull request or PM whenever you find bugs or think you can help improve my kernel hack further. This way the entire community will truly benefit from the spirit of open source. Thank you ![/b][/center]
Hi XDA members and fellow Nexus users:
This is my twenty-third kernel hack. I want to thank T0dbld, Turl and rest of my teammates, and several others I cannot recall for inspiring me to venture into this unfamiliar territory for me.
What is a Kernel? The Kernel is the Foundation in which everything else builds upon in any software system.
[Car Analogy]: Kernel is like the Engine, Electrical system and the Transmission to a car. The Library, Framework and the Apps [AKA ROM] are the body frame and the rest of the Car.
THIS KERNEL is BASED ON Google Source Code. So it is COMPATIBLE WITH ALL AOSP JB 4.2 Builds.
DO NOT use any task killers, they DO NOT improve performance nor battery life. They INTERFERE with your phone's stability (more crashes) and App compatibility (Forced Close).
Kernel Features:
So what type of kernel is this? Well, this kernel is based on Linux 3.4.y (says so from the version string)
Features in Magenta are identical as the latest Linux 3.4+

Mirrors http://androidhosting.org/Devs/Faux/
Here's a step by step instruction to install this kernel:
1. download the above file (via phone directly or to a PC)
2. copy the downloaded zip file to /sdcard/download/
3. Open ROM Manager and select "Reboot into Recovery" and select "OK"
4. Once in recovery, select "wipe cache partition", select "Yes", then select "advanced", then select "Wipe Dalvik Cache", then select "Yes" again. Once finished, click the back button to go back to the main recovery menu. On that menu, select "Install Zip From SDCad", then select "Choose zip from SDCard", then go to /sdcard/download and select the downloaded zip file and let it run its script.
5. Once the script is done, select "reboot system now"
Note: After FLASHING, the first reboot may take longer than usual, please be patient... After the first reboot, it may lag during initial load (let everything finish loading). Once everything is loaded and phone is ready for use, reboot the phone a 2nd time and the lag will be gone and everything should be silky smooth...
[ Advanced Users: ]
[ Optional: ]
If you encountered any funny / weird / strange issues coming from other than 100% pure stock ROMs or my kernels, the following "Reset Kernel" will restore the kernel to its Original Stock Settings.
After applying the reset kernel, then load my latest kernel again.

Open Beta may not be stable and may cause issues with your phone!
By loading open beta you have agreed to:
1. To report all random reboots with associated /proc/last_kmsg
2. To provide feedback on errors or bugs with detail phone information such as ROM, kernel version, and apps
3. Participate in Forum discussions for the beta software with others without FLAMING each other or post useless information such as:
a) Phone doesn't boot (without providing any additional information, ROM versions etc)
B) phone is too hot (without providing any additional information, ie OC freq, UV etc)
The Open Beta system is designed to have the community help each other and the developers. This way, all potential bugs are flushed out so the final released version will be stable and error free. The more actively you participate in Beta Testing the better the final product will be (you are really helping yourself to create a better community software).
If you do NOT agree with the statements above, DO NOT load my Open Beta software.

FAQ:
1. Why don't my settings "stick" when using FauxClock App?
#1 issue with settings NOT sticking is superuser Switch to SuperSU should solve 95% of issues
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...51bGwsMSwxLDEsImV1LmNoYWluZmlyZS5zdXBlcnN1Il0.
UPDATE: Koush's new Superuser is also compatible with my apps!
2. Why doesn't my Max frequency settings NOT "stick" when using intellidemand governor with FauxClock App?
Intellidemand will AUTOMATICALLY UNDERCLOCK when there's a CONSTANT load for greater than 3 minutes. (Load spikes will NOT trigger the auto underclock, only CONSTANT loads). After the load is gone, it will restore back to original Max Clock. Constant load will drain the battery quite quickly, intellidemand governor will detect this behavior and automatically underclock to save more battery without ANY user intervention at all!
3. Why does the CPU freq slider move when I touch the screen?
Qualcomm's closed source mpdecision is the culprit. mpdecision raise the minimum CPU frequency to 1.026 GHz to "cheat" or increase UI smoothness. While this is a good idea, it is too aggressive and overkill causing unnecessary battery drains. And because it is closed sourced, it is NOT POSSIBLE to tweak its behaviors. I highly recommend turning off mpdecision when using my kernels in combination with intellidemand/intelli_plug
4. What is Intelli_plug? How do I use it?
Intelli_plug is my open source solution to Qualcomm's closed source mpdecision. Intelli_plug is enabled automatically upon boot, so NO need to turn on or off. However, it conflicts with mpdecsion, so I HIGHLY recommend turning off mpdecision when using my kernels! To turn off mpdecision, either use fauxclock app under CPU page or use terminal / init.d script and write "stop mpdecsion"
5. What is Eco Mode in FauxClock App?
Eco Mode is a special power savings mode part of the intelli_plug where the kernel automatically reconfigures its decisions in real time and optimizes to use only 2 out of 4 cores. Cores 3 and 4 are turned off completely.
6. My Gamma/Color settings do NOT stick when I removed FauxClock App from memory!
FauxClock app MUST be running to retain the colors. This is a limitation of the stock kernel and FauxClock app was designed to overcome this issue, so therefore it has to be running and be in memory (Avoid all Task Killers!!!)
7. If FauxClock has to be running all the time, does it CAUSE MORE DRAIN?
NO, FauxClock is a normal behaving app which does NOT HOLD or request ANY wakelocks from Android system. Therefore it does NOT cause any drain at all while running (matter of fact, it's suspended most of the time until it's needed)
8. What is "SnakeCharmer" ?
SnakeCharmer is an extension that I created to tame the Qualcomm Krait CPUs. Due to asynchronous SMP cpu design, each CPU can have its own independent min/max frequencies. SnakeCharmer allows you to set a specific max cpu frequency to all cores at the same time, so if you want to UNDERCLOCK your CPUs to a specific frequency, you should enable it under FauxClock.
9. I enabled "SnakeCharmer" but I occasionally see it still goes to max 1.512 GHz, why?
SnakeCharmer works flawlessly. FauxClock app is a Java app which runs on top of Linux. Sometimes it gets out of sync with the kernel, so it will display a frequency that's higher than the maximum "SnakeCharmer" frequency. This is a PURE DISPLAY issue with FauxClock App. SnakeCharmer works advertised! (Confirmed using CPUSpy by multiple users).
10. I have BOTH FauxClock and FauxDisplay apps but I seemed to lost the Screen Adjustment Tab under FauxClock? (Nexus 4 Only)
FauxDisplay (aka Advanced Gamma Control has full 27 controls unlocked, it supersedes the basic controls provided by FauxClock
11. What is Turbo Boost and how do I enable it? (Nexus 4 ONLY)
Turbo Boost is similar to Intel's Turbo Boost for the x86 CPUs. It increase the clock frequencies when 2 or less cores are active. (TB-U allows up to 1.9.44 GHz, TB-M allows up to 1.836 GHz). To enable turbo boost, simply slide the CPU max frequency slider all the way to the right!
12. Why can't I Undervolt below 600mv?
Ever since I created the UV interface for Qualcomm phones on 2010, 600mv minimum voltage has been chosen for a reason. There are typically 2~4 different "binnnings" for the same CPU chip (each binning has their own voltage tables) and therefore NOT ALL CHIPS are created equal. The 600mv limit was put through many different tests and was found to be stable ACROSS many many different chips/binnings combinations (No crash or sleep-of-death aka SOD) and it has been proven time and time again to be a good value for minimum voltage value.
SOC Sleep States demystified! (Corrected for incorrect information thanks for G+ comments!)
Often times users using many apps like CPU Spy will say post how much time their phone spent in "deep sleep" and thinking that "deep sleep" is only 1 state, unfortunately, it is WRONG. For many modern CPUs there are several C-States (sleep states), and the term "deep sleep" does NOT correctly describe them all.
Just like in real life, there are several stages of "sleep", the shallowest sleep is C0 State. As in real life, C0 state is very easy to wake up from with almost NO latency at all (real life will be like grogginess, so C0 is just like when you first doze off but any little distraction will instantly wake you up). The deeper the sleep, the harder it is to wake up from. It takes longer for CPU to re-initialize itself to a waking state (just like real life where once you enter REM sleep, it's very hard to wake up from it).
For most processors, C3 is the Deepest sleep state. C3 state is ALMOST like turning it off using the absolutely minimum power.
C0 - Shallowest sleep (dozing off) with instant wake up
C1 - slightly deeper sleep with slight latency when waking up
C2 - deeper sleep with longer latency when waking up
C3 - really deep sleep (like REM sleep in real life) with longest latency when waking up
My pyramid (Sensation 4G) kernel has Intellidemand Governor 2.0 (Grand daddy of the Mako's Intellidemand governor) where I disabled ALL hotplugging when screen is on (ie, both cores stays ON the WHOLE TIME) but I enabled C2 state for both processors, so even though at first you think it may draw more battery than hotplugging (turning off the core when not using), many of my users have experienced better battery life than with hotplugging (Hotplugging is VERY expensive, the act of turning cores on/off drains battery as well).
On Nexus 4 (Mako), for some reason, Qualcomm has decided to only allow for C0 state (the shallowest sleep) and so the "deep sleep" isn't really that deep. With my FauxClock app + my kernel, I give you all the "deeper" sleep states so when idling, you phone can experience deeper sleep. There's a hardware bug for Krait processors where the secondary cores, 1~3, cannot achieve deeper sleep state independently, so hotplugging is still necessary to save power for cores 1~3 but for core 0 (and core 0 is the master CPU and it's NEVER hotplugged) being able to go into deeper sleep state will help to conserve more power.
FauxClock is designed with forward compatibility. With the newer Qualcomm Krait 600/800 series, they have fixed a few of the hardware bugs from the Krait processors, and so for those newer SOCs, you can go into deeper sleep with all cores like the like older 8x60 SOCs.
Yea! Glad to see you came with me from the Amaze forums! Can't wait to flash soon!
I remember you from the hercules forums. Nice to see you here! Looking forward to using your kernels.
Well well well... Look who's here. Nice to see you working on This beast man. I'm excited to see what you have in store for us.

exaclty what i was going to say...tried boot, but no go, simply boots without changing kernel ; and flash doesn't work.
Also, doesnt run @ 1.8. Itll reboot and then hang till you reflash the kernel.
Pesonally I'd suggest staying away from this until it was a bit more tested.

2. Issues
1.1 How can I change the smartreflex minimum/maximum voltage
What is Smartreflex?
SR is compareable with an CPU governor but not for scaling frequencies but for voltages. That means SR has a fixed range of voltage (min/max) and calculates the optimal voltage for each CPU frequency. In example on light use of the CPU it scales down to lower voltage - on heavy use it can sclae to higher voltage. This is an efficient system to save power! Compared to EMIF which uses the hardcoded voltages it saves more power because it's variable. EMIF cannot vary between the values.
This interface has a hardcoded range of 830mV min to 1450mV max. Usually there is no need to adjust these values but irt can be usefull in example when using high overclocked frequencies above 1,5ghz! Usually SR cannot handle frequencies above 1,5ghz and I have hardcoded the maximum range of 1,45mV which should allow SR to handle it. In prior times the users had to turn off SR when OCing above 1,5ghz which causes the CPU to eat more power. But you can try around and report your results.
CAUTION: Don't raise the maximum SR voltage too high! It can burn your board = no phone anymore! I recommend to not use higher values than 1490mV! As already mentioned: THe default value should be enough!
ANd also: USUALLY THERE IS NO NEED TO CHANGE ANYTHING ON SR! IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING, PLEASE LEAVE IT ALONE!
Ok, now let's see how to do this:
Turn ON/OFF SR
1. Open Trickster Mod
2. Head to the "Specific section"
3. Scroll down to "Smartreflex"
4. You can toggle ON/OFF SR for each component (IVA, CORE, MPU)
Usually I recommend to keep SR ON because it saves power! But in some cases when overclocking the CPU (MPU) the device could freeze - whether you OCed too much or SR couldn't handle the frequency! In this case you can try to raise the vmax value of SR a little bit (CAREFULLY!) and try again. If it sitll freezes and you're sure that you didn't OC too much, turn SR OFF at least for MPU!
Maximum Voltage
Currently there is no app which supports the feature of adjusting the SR vmax value, because I wrote this feature some days ago.
But in the next Trickster Mod version this option will be supported!
example:
# To read the current vmax value. Replace XXX with one of the following:
sc_core - for core max sr voltage
sr_iva - for iva max sr voltage
sr_mpu - for mpu max sr voltage (mpu is most related for CPU scaling)
cat /sys/kernel/debug/smartreflex/XXX/vmax
# You will get an output, e.g. for mpu = 1450000 (1450mV)
# To set a new value, do the following command (replace XXX with a value like above - BE CAREFUL! USUALLY THE DEFAULT VALUE ENOUGH AND YOU CAN LEAVE IT UNTOUCHED!)
echo XXX > /sys/kernel/debug/smartreflex/XXX/vmax
Minimum Voltage
It's easy because Trickster Mod supports it!
1. Open Trickster Mod
2. Head to the "Specific section"
3. Scroll down to "Smartreflex"
4. Below each SR component (IVA, CORE, MPU) there is displayed a value (usually 830 default) which means this is the lowest scalable voltage for this component. You can try to decrease this value for the case you want to UV a bit more - or raise it a bit for the case you think that the set range is too low and causes freezes on your device.
1.2 How do I use Live OC (Live OVerclock)?
This feature allows you to overclock the CPU in realtime. It works with a multiplier value set by the user. The default multplier value is "100", which means: No OC! If you want to raise the OC frerquency, just raise this value step by step.
FOr my device the maximum working OC value is "111" which means the maximum frequency is running at 1498mhz!
NOTE: Keep in mind that you tunr Smartreflex OFF for higher freqs than 1500mhz - or raise the maximum SR voltage range for "MPU" a little bit and test if it works.
Ok, how to use Live oC in action:
Open Trickster Mod App and swipe to the tab "Specific". There you will find something like this:
Code:
MPU OC [100]
DON'T TOUCH THE "CORE OC" SECTION, IT WILL CAUSE FREEZES!
Now slowly increase the value "100" to something higher, e.g. "105". Tap the hook in the right upper corner to confirm. To see your new set of frequencies you can now whether close and restart Trickster Mod or just use any monitoring app like Cool Tool which will show your frequencies in real time. That's it!
CAUTION: You can damage your phone forever!!!! This feature allows you to set very high frequencies (also up to 2,0ghz...) - That DOESN'T mean that your phone can run these frequencies!
If your phone freezes or crashes you have probably set too high OC - or your voltage is too low.
1.3 How do I use Custom Voltage (EMIF)?
NOTE: This only adjusts the fixed voltage! When you have Smartreflex ON it can still vary! You have to see the bigger picture: This voltage value sets the "middle point" for voltages. Smartreflex is still able to increase or decrease the voltage. When Smartreflex is OFF the CPU will stay on this voltage you set here and probably eats also more power.
How does EMIF works together with Smartreflex:
Code:
-------
| CPU |
-------
|
------------------ ------------------
|Voltage 1015 mV | ---->| SMARTREFLEX ON| = 1015mV +/- "vmax"/"vmin"
------------------ -------------------
|
--------------------
|SMARTREFLEX OFF| ----> 1015mV FIXED! No changes!
-------------------
Thi smeans if you change the voltage for a scaling step (OPP) while SR is ON, SR will adjust the voltage from this value, means: mV-Value +/- SR vmin/vmax. WHen SR is OFF it will stay on this mV as a fixed value.
How to adjust the voltage?
Well, this feature can be used with all generic apps which are supporting voltage settings. But we are prepared well, you can adjust voltages also with the "Trickster Mod App".
When you open the app, head to the tab "Specific" and below the "Live OC Section" you will find your voltage table, which looks like this:
Code:
<-->
1200 [1398]
1000 [1388]
900 [1371]
...
..
..
Now just tap the arrows in the right upper above the first voltage value and just type or tap (per direction) a value, e.g. "-25". To apply it, confirm by tapping the hook in the right upper corner of your screen. That's it, your new voltage values are now set and applied. And also mind here: If your phone freezes you porbably have set it too low.
CAUTION: NEVER SET HIGHER VOLTAGE THAN 1490mv here!!!!! Or you might damage your phone FOREVER!
This voltage is not the same like Smartreflex! But it's still voltage! Just be carefull!!
1.4 How can I use GPU OC and GPU Governor?
GPU Overclock doesn't work like Live OC! You cannot really set custom frequencies for the GPU, but you can select and set the maximum frequency from a hardcoded range!
For the GPU there are the following available frequencies:
154mhz (FIXED!)
307mhz
384mhz
416mhz
The minimum frequency of 154 is FIXED! This means you cannot change it because the GPU needs a minimum speed to run with. But the kernel allows you to select the maximum speed. This can be usefull for playing games and also for saving power . In example when not playing games you don't need the GPU to run at 416mhz! Set it to 307mhz in this case and save power.
When you open Trcikster Mod and head to the "specific section tab", you will find "GPU MAX FREQUENCY" and it's currently set maximum frequency. Tap on it to select your preferred one:
- 154 Mhz
- 307 MHz
- 384 MHz
That's it. The new setting will be your new maximum GPU frequency.
Below there's another option called "GPU Governor". Just tap on it and select your prefered one.
NOTE: If you want to track current GPU frequencies and watch governor's behavior, just switch to Trickster's "Informations" - Tab and watch the frequencies clock.
1.5 How can I use Gamma Control?
What is gamma? The gamma setting sets the color range for the screen. You can compare it to the contrast. We all know that the touchscreen eats most of the power compaerd to all other components in a smartphone! A lower brightness causes less power consumption and a lower gamma or contrast range alos helps a little bit to save power.
In this kernel you can choose from a range of "5 - 10" while "5" is very bright while "10" is very dark. The default setting is "5" BUT CAUTION: Trickster Mod will display a range of "0" to "10" and the default setting will be shown as "0". This is caused by the fact that this feature was ported from the Gnex device where you can choose from a higher range. The only sideeffect is that the values "0" - "5" won't show any difference.
How to set the gamma value?
Well, once again open Trickster Mod and swipe to the tab on the right end. Just select your preferred value by using the slider.
Alternately you can use sysfs by terminal or adb:
OMAP Gamma interface:
echo i > /sys/devices/platform/omapdss/manager0/gamma
Replace i with 0-10 of your choice.
1.6 What is "Battery Friend and how to use it?
Battery Friend is a simple toggle (ON/OFF) which sets your device into a battery friendly mode without the need to play with all settings in Trickster Mod /sysfs until you find a good setting. In fact it does the job for you.
What does it affect?
NOTE: Doesn't lock anyx frequencies anymore!
locks dynamic Fsync enabled
locks Fsync disabled
Doesn't allow any OC (Live OC will not have any effect, Core OC is not allowed in this kernel)
Increases the dirty ratio interval to 90% (starts working at this value)
Enables Dynamic Hotplug: This doesn't allow hotplugging during device is active - and it will always turn CPU1 OFF during suspend! It also prevents from conflicts when user uses a hotplug governor (which isn't a good idea though) - but hotplug governors are causing higher battery drain!
Dynamic Page-writeback always enabled
How to toggle Battery Friend:
For now the only way is via terminal, adb shell or root explorer (text editor)
For terminal and adb:
Code:
echo 1 > sys/kernel/battery_friend/battery_friend_active /* Enable */
echo 0 > sys/kernel/battery_friend/battery_friend_active /* Disable */
For Root Explorer
Open Root Explorer
Navigate to sys/kernel/battery_friend/
Open "battery_friend_active" with Text Editor
Change "0" to "1" and safe the file to enable
Change "1" to "0" and safe the file to disable
1.7 Suspend Governor Control (CURRENTLY DISABLED)
Suspend Governor Control is a kernel module written by me. You can use it to set your preferred Screen-Off-governor.
For now it's only supported by sysfs (Trickster Mod will support all my current and upcoming features as soon as it gets updated with its new UI mode!
How to set suspend governor
Open a terminal or use adb shell
Code:
su
echo "x" > /sys/kernel/suspend_gov/suspend_gov
Replace x with one of these values:
0 = Ondemand
1 = Ktoonservative
2 = Conservative
3 = OndemandX
NOTE: No matter what governor you use for suspend mode, if Battery Friend is enabled the second core will be turned off during suspend!
1.8 IVA Overclock
What is IVA OC?
IVA OPPs are controlling the CPU load for sound events. It could be useful (in some cases) when you get sound related laggs. Just set the maximum frequency to highspeed. This will allow more CPU power for sound events but also will cause higher battery consumption.
How to use IVA OC?
If you want to check the current IVA frequency. Just type in Terminal or ADB:
Code:
cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/iva_clock
You will get an output like this:
Code:
132 Mhz
2. You can whether enable IVA highspeed: 130 - 430 Mhz ["1"] or enable IVA normal speed: 130 - 332 Mhz ["0"]
320 Mhz max: echo "0" > sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/iva_freq_oc
430 Mhz max: echo "1" > sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/iva_freq_oc
1.9 DPLL Cascading
DPLL: Davis–Putnam–Logemann–Loveland (DPLL) algorithm
To get more info about this please see wiki
But to sum it up shortly: It helps to use/stream media (music) in a low power mode.
NOTE: DPLL Cascading will be available to be switched easily via Trickster Mod App soon!
How to switch DPLL?
DPLL is ENABLED by default!
Open Trickster Mod -> Speicific Tab --> DPLL (soon)
sysfs:
Turn off:
Code:
echo 0 > /sys/kernel/dpll/dpll_active
Turn on:
Code:
echo 1 > /sys/kernel/dpll/dpll_active
1.10 HDMI toggle
Some users are facing a RAZR-sepcific problem: HDMI cable is detected, even though there is no cable plugged!
Therefor I included a toggle to switch HDMI wether ON or OFF. Additinally there's an init.d script included within the AROMA Installer you can select during the installation of JBX-Kernel.
To enable/disable HDMI on-the-fy:
sysfs:
Turn off:
Code:
echo 0 > /sys/kernel/hdmi/hdmi_active
Turn on:
Code:
echo 1 > /sys/kernel/hdmi/hdmi_active
1.11 Intelli-Plug
For intelli-plug hotplugging is now only allowed when the device enters sleep.
To enable hotplugging universally just change the value of the following entry whether to 1 (on) or 0 (off):
Code:
sys/module/intelli-plug/parameters/int_hotplug
1.12 Dynamic Fsync VS. Asynchronous Fsync
* HTC's Asynchronous Fsync and Dynamic Fsync:
Asynchronous fsync (called "afsync" or "async fsync") from HTC is ported into this kernel. By default it's enabled and dynamic fsync is disabled (and as well it isn't needed anymore). But just to test a little bit around to see which one of both features is the better one - for battery & performance. But currently Tricktser Mod doesn't support a toggle for afsync, so I had to find another way to use Trckster. Finally I did it like this:
The dynamic fsync toggle in Trickster Mod is now serving both functions - the dynamic fsync AND the asynchronous fsync! How? By default Dynamic Fsync is disabled, and Afsync is enabled. If you now enable Dynamic fsync using the toggle, Afsync will be automatically disabled, so both functions are not conflicting each other - and this way we have a working toggle for both of them.
2. If anyone has the following issues:
Issue
Media Process FC
No SD-Card in File Explorer
My CPU Settings (frequencies, etc) won't be saved (it sets itself back to Kernel default after screen off)
My phone freezes/reboots always when I try to set options in Trickster Mod
The device is lagging very hard
Solution
Media FC: Open App settings, head to "Download Manager" and "Media Storage" and hit the "delete data" button. Reboot. Now it shouldn't give any FCs anymore and after a little bit of waiting it will find all Media (Pictures, Videos, etc..)
No SD-Card: Reboot into recovery, go to "Mounts & Storage", tick "mount int" or "mount ext".
USB: Make sure the screen is ON while plugging the cable in.
CPU Settings: This is a bug which cannot be solved at the moment. Temporary solution: In Trickster Mod just activate the "Frequency Lock" and your settings will persist.
Trickster Mod:: Open App settings, Trickster Mod and select "uninstal updates". Now it should work.
Crashes, Freezes, lagging, something doesn't work, etc
There are too many reasons which could cause crashes! So here is a checklist for you to look for. Check each point and try the following workaround:
- Your rom has CPU tweaks (e.g. Kernel modules, init.d folder, etc)
- You have set custom CPU settings (e.g. custom frequencies with apps like No-Frills CPU Control, Set-CPU, Antutu, etc...)
- You have undervolted too low
- You have overclocked too high
- You have applied higher "Core OC" value in Trickster Mod App
- You are running any other kernel tweaks which are regarding to the CPU and/or performance (e.g. Kernel modules by Whirleyes eventually set by init.d, etc..)
- After setting some settings (e.g. in Trickster Mod) your device doesn't boot anymore
- adb doesn't work / shows only "device offline"
- You are facing hard lagging
If any point here matches your setting, please revert from it:
- Remove any CPU init.d script from /System/etc/init.d
- Uninstall any CPU controling app (e.g. Set-CPU, No-Frills, etc..)
- Remove all extra kernel modules from system/lib/modules (e.g. cpu_control.ko, cpufreq_smartass2.ko, etc..)
- Unset any custom settings from any other kernel / CPU - tweaking app which is NOT Trickster Mod
- Maybe your governor causes issues. Hotplug is know for bugs at the moment...I'm going to fix it..
- NEVER set your CPU Settings (e.g. in Trickster Mod App) on boot!!!! - before you aren't sure that your settings are safe!!!
- You may flash the kernel again after reverting related settings
- to make adb work / show device online, download latest SDK platform-tools and confirm access on device (4.2 security feature of Android)
- Don't use any task killers, memory killers, seeder apps! They may conflict with the kernel/Rom settings.
If none of these suggestions work for you your rom may be incompatible. Please report it here that I can add the rom to the list of imcompatible roms
If you have any issue, please read this:
First check:
- is it really a kernel issue?
- did I see this bug with the roms original kernel?
- what are the people in the rom thread saying?
- what are the people in the kernel thread saying?
- can I find this issue on a bug list?
- how about my settings? Is it my fault it crashed?
- can I find something useful in the kernel FAQ?
- Is it maybe a well known issue and can be solved
withing seconds? Just like wifical.sh?
- Where to repeat that issue? Rom or kernel?
I know it's sometimes difficult to track the issues, and we can't know for sure if it's caused by the rom or by the kernel, but if you try at least to get some information you might find an answer sometimes. If you are able to understand logs, you may report whatever you find.
All this helps to keep the threads more clear. Thank you.

THIS THREAD IS MOST LIKELY DEAD SINCE I MOVED IT INTO THE MAIN LG G3 DEVELOPMENT PAGE!!
NEW LINK http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/development/kernel-settings-nebulakernel-rev10-2-1-t3258520
USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!! MIGHT NOT WORK FOR ALL G3!!
MAKE BACKUP OF YOUR DEVICE BEFORE USING THESE FILES!!!
Please Do not change or mod these settings or re-release them! If you do i will hunt you down and murder your favorite pet and turn them into a nice steak or i'll just have to hunt you down and ding dong ditch your house > [That was a joke......]
This thread is for setting i made for the LG G3 Verizon Wireless (vs985)
These settings are to be used with SetCPU and Trickster Mod (You'll need Trickster Mod donate pack to restore the Trickster Mod backup settings)
These settings .zip are not flashable. You will need to unzip the pack ON DEVICE.
PACK includes:
SetCPU profiles:
Multimedia - Other, Multimedia - Photos, Multimedia - Music, Multimedia - Video, Multimedia - Camera, Emulator- MyBoy!, Social, Google Chrome, GPS Navigation and Maps [ACTIVE], Phone/Contacts, HIGH TEMP!! 170+oF+!!, Games (HD-Large), Games (HD-Small), Charging (AC/USB), Screen Off, Everyday Use. Those are the profiles in the SetCPU pack. They are still being tweaked! Every Profile is different and might have different governors and I/O Schedulers
Trickster Mod Setting: EXTREME Undervolting, On_demand Governor tweaking, minfree_Control (RAM Management), 1512 i/o fiops BOST SDCARD AND INTERNAL STORAGE,Sound controls and some other awesome things! They are still being tweaked!
Install directions for these files:
1. Download the .zip file from this page
2. Unzip pack
3. Put the LG G3 CM12.x NebulaKernel 10.3-T2 [1.0] [3.03GHz].setcpu.json in the root of your onboard SD card partition. SetCPU will find the files on its own when you go and restore it
4. Put the LG G3 (vs985) CM12.1 NebulaKernel 10.3-T2 3.03GHz [11-21-2015] file in the tm_profiles folder in the onboard SD card partition.
Then go into Trickster Mod and touch restore and select the latest version of the files
5. Change your DPI to 350 because it will make the 1440p display look beautiful and perfect and like it should look! For some reason i cant get the system to change the resolution to 1080p anymore. I guess something in CM12.1 messed that up but what ever!
6. ENJOY THESE FILES and you're instantly AWESOME LG G3!
I do not take ANY credit AT ALL for the making of the kernel! I did not build the KERNEL! All credit goes to @Eliminater74 !
These settings ONLY work on the NebulaKernel 10.3-T2l! If you use the Trickster Mod Settings on any other kernel the device will crash and boot loop These settings have only been tested on The Verizon LG G3 model. I do not know if they work on any other model because i do not own them
DOWNLOAD THIS BADASS KERNEL FROM THIS BADASS DEV!

DO NOT DOWNLOAD AND USE [V1.0 STABLE-RELEASE] IT IS NOT STABLE OR USABLE FOR DAILY USE! USE THE NEWEST VERSION AVAILABLE
CHANGELOG
11-21-2015: [V1.0 STABLE-RELEASE]
1. Release of Pack! YAY!!!
2. I had to make some voltage changed to the 3.03GHz step for it to be stable for me! I have to raise the voltage up from 1225 to 1228. So far it's been very stable! Everything is undervolted beautifully!
3. Most of the Governor settings and SetCPU profiles are ported from the Jedi Kernel settings pack but with minor changes like adding per profile I/O Schedulers
11-22-2015: [V1.1 STABLE]
1. SetCPU: I changed Everyday Use MAX cpu freq from 3GHz down to 2.88GHz because 3GHz isn't stable yet. I'm still working on the voltage for it.
2. Trickster Mod: Tweaked voltages to make the device more stable. They aren't perfect yet!
3. Trickster Mod: Tweaking the OnDemand governor for get the highest performance from the 801 CPU.
4. Trickster Mod: Changed GPU governor from Simple-ondemand to msm-adreno-tz because i seem to get better performance with that!
5. If anyone can tell me how to export/backup Kernel Adiutor settings that would be awesome!
11-23-2015: [V1.2 STABLE]
1. SetCPU: Changed Max freq on charging AC/USB from the lower 2.4 to the higher 2.4GHz
2. SetCPU: Changed Max freq on Camera profile to 2419 and changed the governor to ondemand. For better 4K recording.
3. SetCPU: Changed Max Freq on Multimedia-Other to 1574
4. SetCPU: Multimedia-Music Max freq from 1958 to 2265
5. SetCPU: Multimedia-Video Max Freq from 1728 to 1958
6. SetCPU: Google Chrome Max freq from 1958 to 2268 (this profile only supports Chrome Beta)
7. SetCPU: Phone, Contacts Max freq from 806 down to 729 (Trying to see if i can get lower temps in phone calls)
8. Trickster Mod: Changed GPU freq from 657MHz up to 700MHz (This might not work for all! It works PERFECTLY for me!)
9. Trickster Mod: Not sure if this in the today's build but i made some sound settings changes! You might want to change them to your liking!)
10. Trickster Mod: Tweaked some voltages! Trying to have them as low as possible but keeping full stability!
11. These updates will most likely be uploaded everyday!
11-26-2015: [V1.3 STABLE]
1. Trickster Mod: I Tweaked the voltages! I haven't had any crashes unless i try to lower the voltages! So i might have found the perfect voltages for this phone!
2. Trickster Mod: I changed the hotplug from MPDecision to MSM MPDecision because i am getting better proformance with that hotplug. I put a picture of the settings i used in the newest post! Please see them to change your settings in Kernel Adiutor.
3. Trickster Mod: You will need to change the CPU governor Settings manually to the tweaked ones. Change them to 0.2. If you see BS Logic.....Well it speaks for itself! DONT USE IT! IT'S GARBAGE!
4. Trickster Mod: I tweaked the GPU settings See newest post for what to change them to in Kernel Adiutor.
5. SetCPU: I added a low Battery profile today! It will enable when your battery drops before 19% because Android tells you that your battery is low at 15% it's to catch it before it Starts its BS lol
6. SetCPU: I reorganized the profiles! I put screen off on the top of everything else so when you are playing music you can the Screen Off profile enables to save battery life and so on.
7. SetCPU: I also tweaked some profiles but i forget what i did or to what. I've been busy lately so i forgot.
8. I changed my DPI from 330 to 350 and i've been getting WAY better proformance! So that's awesome
9. I got 3 1/2 hours of SOT.
10. I also changed my kernel from the testing version to the more stable version but these settings work on both. You will need to use the stable kernel that supports the 3GHz CPU OC and the 700MHz GPU OC for them to work!
11. Also happy thanksgiving to my fellow Americans and belated happy thanksgiving to my Canadian friends which i have very little about you friends in either! -______-
12. I changed the names to some of the files and the .zip pack
Please report back after updating!
If you encounter any device crashing please tell me
Thanks
new update!
new update!
new update! Happy Thanksgiving!
This is a thread post that goes alongside with the newest version V1.3 STABLE from 11-26-2015.
These are things that you have to set manually yourself!
In the first picture of the Hotplug settings please make sure the minimum cores online is set to one! That was a mistake i made before taking the screenshot! I was scrolling and must have dragged it to 4 somehow
Woooow thanks hermano

As this is what the OP has stated, there's no need to keep both open.
Please use the thread linked above for any further conversation.

Hi,
On Resurrection Remix rom there is an app called Kernel Adiutor where you can tweak CPU and all other kernel based settings.
So this instruction is based on RR rom, but i think it is applicable to all other custom roms which Kernel Adiutor can be installed on them. install Kernel Adiutor and please report back if it was successful or not.
Steps:
- Open up Kernel Adiutor and from the sidebar, goto CPU.
- Find "CPU Governor" and set it on "powersave". (see screenshot)
- Scroll down and turn on "Schedule workqueueson awake CPUs to save power". (see screenshot)
- Scroll to the top of the screen and turn on "Apply on boot".
Hint: Make sure "CPU Governor" is set to "powersave" in both LITTLE and BIG sections.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
These tweaks will decrease CPU performance but it's not sensible if you are a normal user which only does multi tasking between Messaging apps and none-resource-eating games.
A little FPS decrease observed during playing COC, but it is neglectable and does not affect your gaming.
Doing this tweak will buy you 10-15% of more battery juice resulting in +1 hour of SOT.
Please report back if you were successful with gaining better battery backup or could run Kernel Adiutor on other custom roms than RR.
Gonna Try it..
I would love to get the battery life profiles from the custom kernels but I don't want to install them and would like to relay to the stock kernel of my rom which is RR. For reasons that I want to avoid bugs and would want to stay updated all the time.
I found spectrum which exactly what will solve my problem but the problem is that it doesn't support the stock kernel of RR.
Stock kernel of RR support "Kernel Adiutor". Kernel Adiutor give you various useful settings.
In my opinion the first is change voltage of your CPU (for each speed).
i Undervolt all Little cores:
(Warning each cpu need different settings, this setting can not work for you)
400 and 691 mhz with 695mv
806mhz 745mv
1017mhz 825mv
1190mhz 880mv
1305mhz 915mv
1382mhz 935mv
1401mhz 940mv
1440mhz 950mv
Big cores DISABLED. (i dont have lags with this settings... i play Clash Royale and use social apps, if you need it enable)
In GPU (i dont play games except Clash Royale)
133mhz min
432mhz max
Down differential 75
Iddle wait 7
Workload 10
For test speed/voltage you need to set same min and max speed and disable de Big Cores. (Or set max speed "X"mhz and use performance governor)
low voltage
use Antutu for test or other similar app.
if work low voltage again
test
if work repeat if not raise the voltage 5 or 10 mv and test again.
DONT USE "APPLY ON BOOT" when you try different voltages.
when you have your profile save this and here in profile menu you can set it at startup (you need to be sure of your phone stability with this settings).
Equally i recommend Agni kernel 13... i use before RR oreo and now AEX oreo and im happy with this kernel, zero problems, all fine.
in this forum other users try with VULMAX but i prefer my settings in manual and not with profile (i dont know the changes in each profile). https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/themes/xgh-t3701825
You can enable ForceDoze with patch https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/themes/universalforcedoze-deepsleep-googledns-t3770350
With ForceDoze you may have problems with sync of message apps or with clock update (you can fix it in your battery settings> optimized apps)
How often does AGNI gets updated?

i dont know but is really good for me.
Equally if you like stock kernels may use RR stock kernel + Kernel Adiutor without problems.

I tried Vulmax and the battery config and it made my phone really fast, literally as in the animations of closing and opening of apps became way too fast. I think Kernel Auditor would be better for me.

you can change animation speed from the developer options in the settings.. disabling animation saves a bit battery thats y it is disabled
