The goal of this kernel is above all stability with the secondary goals of increased performance and increased battery life. I use this phone for several hours a day for work and therefore it must be reliable. I am not focusing on providing a million options for governors, etc. In addition to those main goals of the kernel, I have an additional secondary goal of removing as much HTC code as possible from the kernel.
This is based on the 2.04 kernel source release from HTC with a huge number of modifications. Thanks to faux123, showp, harsh, mdeejay, zarboz and dsb9938 whose kernels I have pulled some commits from.
The unique features of this kernel are:
New init.d scripts to allow some tweaking without needing any 3rd party apps
* See the next post for details.
Replaced HTC's mpdecision with a new custom hot-plug driver that I created:
* This hot-plug driver is more aggressive about bring cores on and off-line to match the load on the system.
* Bringing cores online earlier makes your phone more responsive / smooth.
* Taking cores offline earlier improves battery life.
* It ramps up very quickly on resume to avoid lag.
Replace HTC's thermald with a new custom thermal driver that I created:
* Unlike all other thermal drivers, it uses "trip-points" to let the phone tell the kernel when it is overheating. The other thermal drivers poll every X ms and read the temperature instead.
* By using trip-points, there is 0 battery consumption unless the phone is overheating.
* By using trip-points, there is an instant reaction to temperature changes.
* It's probably nearly impossible to cause thermal shutdown without being in a desert!
Replaced HTC's bluetooth drivers with Code Aurora Forums (CAF) version.
Replaced HTC's lightsensor table with one that is more sensible and that matches what other devices use. If you have custom auto-brightness settings, you'll probably need to tweak them after installing this kernel.
There are many additional changes to boost performance and battery life:
* Linaro -O3 compiled (Linaro 4.8).
* Overclocking from mdeejay's kernel.
* Underclocking to 192MHz.
* I disable tons of HTC debugging crap left enabled and needlessly consuming battery.
* Improvements to the core locking code of the kernel.
* Patches that transform traditional locks into RCU backed data structures.
* CAF version of the ondemand and conservative governors.
* hsic wakelock changes from dsb9938's kernel.
* CAF changes to power management to sleep faster and waste less CPU during suspend.
* Improved code for moving data to/from user-space and manipulating strings within the kernel.
Other features:
* Include all mainline Linux changes to keep up-to-date on bug fixes.
* Voltage control (faux123) to allow user-space under-volting.
* BFQ I/O scheduler.
* CAF lowmemorykiller.
* Force fast charge.

Changelog from 1.2.x
Version 1.2.6: April 4, 2013: ramdisk fix, lowmemorykiller, hsic wakelocks:
* Fix a problem where the ramdisk was no longer disabling mpdecision and thermald. This issue causes a very minor additional battery drain that has now be fixed (Thanks t1gartist!).

1.2.2: April 1, 2013: linux 3.4.38, lag fixes, bluetooth drivers, cleanup:
* Undo some dubious commits (or extra code included in unrelated commits, what I meant by "early mistakes"). I reexamined every commit in the kernel to decide whether to keep it or remove it.
* Bluetooth drivers are the current CAF msm-3.4 drivers.
* Additional CPU speed and governor information added in /proc/cpuinfo.
* Cleaner patching to upstream linux (see my github repo for the clean upstream patching).
* Linaro -O3 compilation was redone from scratch because there were some problems found by kern3l in the original patches I pulled, I wanted to ensure that there were no other problems so I redid the work myself.
Changelog from the 1.0.x series:
1.0.27: Mar 25, 2013: thermald, simple_plug
* Make the previous changes to simple_plug less aggressive about turning cores back off when applications force them online. We now detect that this has occurred and give the application 2 minutes to be in charge before we force the state back to what we want.
* Change thermald default throttling to be slightly less strict.
1.0.25: Mar 21, 2013: Linux 3.4.37, simple_plug, performance
* Linux 3.4.37
* simple_plug: add a verify mode (every 5 seconds => almost 0 cost) that fixes the state when apps bring cores on/off-line (e.g. kernel tuner).
* rwsem performance improvements
* CAF improvements (correctness, performance) of the power management layer
1.0.21: Mar 16, 2013: Linux 3.4.36
* Linux 3.4.36
* Small bug fixes from CAF
1.0.18: Mar 7, 2013: Linux 3.4.35

* Linux 3.4.34.
* Linaro 4.7: stopped using 4.8 beta builds due to stability fears and lack of apparent benefit from it. The latest 4.7 drop back-ports some optimizations anyway.
* lowmemorykiller: switch to the CAF version of the low memory killer.
* Fixed several bugs in HTC's thermal driver that could cause the termal driver to miss thermal events.
1.0.15: Feb 26, 2013: Battery optimization, performance, thermal & hotplug improvements
* governor: make ondemand the default governor
* GPU: Very minor GPU overclock to 487MHz (from mdeejay).

* Disable more HTC debugging code.
1.0.11: Feb 22, 2013: Battery optimizations, Linaro 4.8 build, update.zip format
* Disable HTC's PNP power manager and adaptive policy services (used for thermald / mpdecision which are already disabled).
* Turn off all the kernel code that was polling to compute the state needed for thermald / mpdecision.
* Turn off a bunch of HTC statistic collection and debugging that isn't needed and wastes battery.
* Linux 3.4.33: fixes a kernel memory corruption/hang in all 3.0 and 3.4 kernels
* Sparkco's 4.8 Linaro build is now being used to compile the kernel
* Moved to update.zip format with less commonly used modules moved to loadable modules.
1.0.8: Feb 19, 2013: Switch to different OC values
* Now using mdeejay's over/unclocking (hopefully solving the L2 cache corruption panic).
* thermal driver is less aggressive about throttling the phone with an additional early step down to stock speed
(50C => 1.5GHz, 75C => 1.3GHz, 83C => 918MHz, 90C => 384MHz).
* Linux 3.4.32 (although no changes that would affect our phone).
1.0.7: Feb 15, 2013: thermal driver no longer polls for state
* Linux 3.4.31.
* Now using the 2013-01 build of the Linaro toolchain.
* Major rewrite of the thermal driver to remove polling (now uses essentially no power).
* Tweaks to the hot-plug driver to reduce CPU consumed to reduce power consumed.
1.0.5: miscellaneous optimizations
* Optimization: use optimized memcpy for user-space copies
* Update to linux 3.4.30
* Tons more cleansing of excessive debugging output
* Use RCU_FAST_NO_HZ as caf claims to have found that this improves battery life
* More linaro -O3 fixes from kern3l via dsb
1.0.2
* cm3629 driver, removed power button pocket check (sounds like a good idea, doesn't work and is a likely candidate for an infrequent sensor drain coming from the proximity sensor not turning off).
* cm3629 remove some unused functionality.
* Two small fixes from kern3l via dsb9938's kernel.
* clean some log messages.

FAQ
sweep2wake: I have no plans to add that to this kernel at this time.
FAQs
init.d tweaks
I really like Zarboz's goal of trying to get rid of the need for 3rd party apps to make the common changes that we want to make to some of the configurable parameters of the kernel. I created some scripts that run on boot (init.d) because I install my kernel so many times that I would go insane if I had to use an installer. By using these scripts and configuration files on the sdcard, I can just configure it once and keep installing away to my heart's content.
After installing this kernel, there will be:
/system/etc/init.d/99crpalmer
run at boot, even if you switch to another kernel. It is safe to leave this file there and to let it run as it only makes changes if the kernel contains "crpalmer" in the version.
The tweaks are:
CPU Frequencies
* Frequencies loaded from /sdcard/crpalmer-cpufreq-min and /sdcard/crpalmer-cpufreq-max
* Governor loaded from /sdcard/crpalmer-cpufreq-governor
* If you specify either or both of these frequencies, it will lock down all of the CPU frequency controls. I had to do this because HTC overrides them in a script that is run very late in the boot process (thanks HTC!).
* E.g. adb shell su -c "echo 192000 > /sdcard/crpalmer-cpufreq-min"
* E.g. adb shell su -c "echo 1728000 > /sdcard/crpalmer-cpufreq-max"
* E.g. adb shell su -c "echo interactive > /sdcard/crpalmer-cpufreq-governor"
Undervolting
* + or - value loaded from /sdcard/crplamer-uv
* The undervolting in 2.0.23 for FAST binned CPUs would be specified as:
* E.g. adb shell su -c "echo -100 > /sdcard/crpalmer-uv"
Lightsensor
* My light sensor changes didn't sound like they worked well for everyone. If you don't like them you can disable them by:
* E.g. adb shell touch /sdcard/crpalmer-stock-lightsensor
HTC Colour "Enhancement"
* If this file is present then the stock colour "enhancement" will be used, otherwise it will be disabled.
* Introduced in kernel 2.0.41.
** E.g. adb shell touch /sdcard/crpalmer-color-enhancement
My WIFI Won't Turn On
If your WIFI won't turn on then the most likely cause is that either you didn't flash the boot.img (e.g. not S-OFF) or your modules don't match the kernel. To figure out what's wrong, first boot the ROM after having installed my kernel. Second, verify that you are running my kernel by running
adb shell cat /proc/version
and seeing that it says crpalmer in (it should match the version that you think you installed, but at least saying crpalmer is a good start). Then do:
adb shell dmesg -c
(turn on wifi)
adb shell dmesg
and look for an error that says crpalmer in it (something like a module version mismatch error). If you see that, it should tell you the version number of the modules that are installed and the version of the kernel.

That's right. No need to flash the return-to-stock modules either.
Thank you for this! I also find it hilarious that you including instructions for benchmarking. To this day I still wonder why people actually care about benchmarks as they have little to no impact on real world performance.

Self defense... I didn't want to deal with people getting 8K scores and blaming me.
Antutu is actually really useful for testing the thermal driver.
Very nice, does this have the latest changes that were just removed from elkays kernel? Also, could you add the lionheart gov?
Nice to see another kernel to choose from, I will give it a shot this weekend. Will you eventually put any you tweaks? Also, can this be flashed with FlashGui?

I looked at elkays changes and it removes a background task that encourages a USB device to power down. This may or may not be a good thing. I'll see how elkay's testing goes before I pull in the change. If it goes well, I'll give it a try.

What tweaks? It.already has a lot of improvements...
Any idea what flashgui accepts as input?
I didn't see any mention of gpu tweaks so I didn't want to make assumptions, hence my question.
EDIT: I just noticed my autocorrect changed "gpu" to "you" in my post you responded to.

Flashgui worked for me. Renamed file to "boot.img" and ignored the warnings. I like living on the edge. Booted up and shows this kernel version. Thanks for this.
Stay thirsty, my friends
Re: [Kernel] [Linaro] [Linux 3.4.29] Version 1.0.0 - Feb 7
Had a glitch with it already, phone was sleeping, got a message on gtalk and it locked full on vibration, blinking the led, wouldn't wake up and eventually rebooted after maybe 10 seconds. I've had this happen on one of the dsb kernels too, I think. Wiped caches again, hasn't occurred again so far.
Happened not 10 minutes after flashing it so I'm chalking it up to kernel making itself at home, just a note that it happened.
Edit: just rebooted again getting an email notification, UKB 1.3. Seems I can't receive a notification while the phone is sleeping or it jams up and reboots.

* Please keep all comments in this Discussion Thread. Any comments not in that thread will be ignored. Feel free to use the DevDB Bug reporting option as you see fit. This is critical in keeping the same question from being asked times in 5 different threads all with the same answer. It was really slowing down development.
* ]If you have problems with frequencies sticking use "No frills CPU Control" and go to Settings and prevent other apps from changing CPU settings
* Although this kernel has now reached "stable" status. bugs still could pop up. please if you find a reproducible bug and decide to post please try and provide a last_kmesg or logcat.
* Versions go as follows: AOSP-JB4.3 = CM-10.2 etc, AOSP-JB4.2 = CM-10.1 etc, TW-JB4.2 = Android 4.2 TW based ROMs, TW-JB4.3: Android 4.3/Google Edition based ROMs

Flashed this into PACman, ktoonz kernel never played nice for me. I will report back on my thoughts.
First impressions? Well it boots, strong performance, too early to tell on battery.
Sent from my Galaxy S4
Wake up delay/lag is completely gone for me since flashing this kernel. I'm on the latest CM nightly.
Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
So I have been running all day on this kernel. Governor = smartassH3 1998/189 and row scheduler. All set with the native PACman performance settings. No other mods enabled. Not quite the performance I was hoping but not bad considering my slight overclock. Also I have had quite good service today.
Sent from my Galaxy S4
To offer a different perspective, intellidemand, row, 189/1890, no undervolt, CM. Insane so far.
Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
might have to try this out
Working very well on pac. Too early to tell battery but based on the change log its going to vary on your set up.
Sent from my SCH-I545 using xda premium
I'm enjoying this kernel and can't wait for future updates! So far I'm getting really good battery life with this. I've noticed a couple of issues which I didn't experience when running the KT kernel. I'm not 100% sure it's kernel related, but I never experienced these with KT. 1) Sometimes wifi won't connect and when I try to access wifi settings in the settings menu it freezes and springs a settings is not responding. 2) On occasion I'll get a real system slowdown where I get a bunch of lag. Both of those issues seem to be resolved with just a regular reboot. 3) I use face unlock as my lockscreen and sometimes the camera doesn't work (including after a reboot). So I see like the white "burst" in the box like it usually does when it's opening the camera, but then the camera doesn't initialize and it just shows a black screen.
My settings:
Kernel:
189/1890
Intellidemand
Row
Haven't made any other changes to settings
Rom:
Fitsnugly's (Euroskank) CM10 from 06/07
Otherwise I think this has huge potential to be my go to kernel for battery life.
Albinoman887, just an FYI, flashed the latest kernel build on the 6/12 CM nightly and BT doesn't turn on. Behavior is consistent with what you typically see when a module is missing. Was on the go and couldn't grab a logcat, but will do so if the solution is non-obvious.
Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
Might be some updates to the ramdisk cm made. I'll check it out
Sent from my SGH-M919 using Tapatalk 2
yep looks like its something to do with a CM update. i rolled back to 6/8 and BT works again. they probably changed some permissions or something in the ramdisk. (the lame thing about samsung kernel developing) i'll re-sync the ramdisk code with upstream and see what that does. it should fix it. then i'll release a revised build. until then the June 8 CM build works fine with BT and my kernel, as a temp fix
someone have the older kernel from the 8th

I have it working now with latest builds let me try and explain it again.
With samsung phones when you flash a kernel you arent JUST flashing the kernel like on HTC. due to limitations in recovery on samsung you have to flash the full boot.img. this img file contains the zImage (kernel) plus a the ramdisk, which is things like init.rc init.cm init.qcom. these are scripts that run at boot to set permissions for radio, wifi, mount points etc.
Since we are limited to flashing the full boot.img these init scripts get flashed during kernel fash as well.
So say you have a kernel build from the 10th. but on the 15th CM changed some paths in the init scripts (which is what they did this time) and you download that update from the 15th, flash it, then the kernel. you lose all the updates to the ramdisk from the 10th on. So if there are some big changes in there it will cause issues like this BT one. usually the ramdisk doesnt get updated much. its just because the device is so new. i predict in a month or so this wont be an issue as all the scripts will be final.
Enjoying some coffee, then i'll post the new build with the updated ramdisk (fixed BT)
Biggest cup of coffee ever! Lol

wait are you saying not to flash what is uploaded? I know CM12 defaults to encryption, doesn't bother me im encrypted already.

Came in to see the same - guessing from the question going unanswered that there is no sensor_ind fix in this kernel, at least as of now. I'm really, really hoping 5.1 fixes that horrible wakelock.
Sweet.ran your kernel on my nexus 5

Introduction
Ahoy everyone,
I decided to share my personal custom kernel with all of you. The main reason i started developing this kernel is to balance performance / battery / security and also add features.
I believe i have included most of the usually requested features. If your feature is not included you can ask for it and i will try to include it as long as you don't ask for ETA's. I am a student and i do this on my spare time.
Pie kernel is based on LineageOS 16.0 sources for beryllium and is compiled
with SdClang which is Qualcomm's LLVM Compiler for extra performance. [EOL] - Final Version is 3.1
10 kernel is based on LineageOS 17.1 source for beryllium and is compiled
with latest sources from LLVM for Clang 11.
So let's jump to the interesting part!

Notes
I bear absolutely no responsibility. If you brick your device. If you are not sure what a kernel is, how to flash it or how to restore your phone in case something goes wrong then do NOT proceed.
Moreover, you should flash this kernel only over the stock kernel that came with your Rom.

Version 1.7
Ahoy Ladies and Gentlemen.
Time for new version!
Changelog:
1) Upstreamed to Linux Version 4.9.135 - Better Security / Stability / Performance
2) Merged ext4 upstreamed commits - Better System Performance
3) Merged Lineage 16.0 Upstream commits - Better Stability / Battery / Performance
4) Now Compiling with Uber Toolchain 6.4.1 - Better Battery/System Performance
5) Added Zen v2 I/O Scheduler - Better I/O Performance
6) Added TCP Congestion Algorithms (bic, cdg, cubic, westwood, htcp, hstcp, hybla, vegas, scalable, lp, veno, yeah, illinois) default is cdg - Better Internet Performance
7) Improved msm_performance - Better Performance
8) Enabled USB Fastcharge up to 900 mAh - Note (1)
9) Added blu_schedutil - Note (2)
10) Makefile Optimizations - Better Performance
11) Added LED Notification Control- Note (3)
12) Enabled LZ4 Compression Algorithm for Zram - Better Battery / Performance
13) Now Sphinx comes Pre-Configured out of the box for balance
14) Support F2FS File System - If Rom Supports it -
Notes:
Note 1: This is USB Fast Charge which means it works ONLY when you charge from a computer. The default output was 500 mAh and now it's 900 mAh (which is the maximum a usb port can support)
Note 2: This is a new EAS Governor ported from blu_spark Kernel for OnePlus 6. Currently it is almost the same with the schedutil governor from Pixel 3
Note 3: Many of you made some comment about the LED Notification being brighter etc. Now you can configure it yourself. THOUGH there is not interface for that in ANY App, you need to do it yourself.
Specifically:
Code:
* /sys/class/leds/white/device/led_fade (rw)
0 : blink
1 : fade (default)
* /sys/class/leds/white/device/led_intensity (rw)
0 : stock intensity
1-100 : 0% to 100% of stock intensity
Note: Does only work for static led, not fading/blinking !!!
* /sys/class/leds/white/device/led_speed (rw)
0 : stock speed
1 : continuous notification light
2-12 : 2 = very slow to 20 = very fast
I have listened to your requests to bring Sphinx to Poco and did everything in my powers to satisfy most of you and ensure this version is stable so if you enjoy this version don't forget to buy me a coffee
Cheers :highfive:
Wow, Amazing. Can i flash this on stock miui beta 8.11.1 also
Great work.
Edit :
Just installed , super smooth. Everything works great so far. Antutu 291328. Not sure if it is placebo but face unlock seems to be faster, haven't been able to see lock screen in the trials I have done so far.
Rom is stock beta 8.11.2 and no root yet.
Will root and tweak with suggested ex kernel manager and report

thanks sounds really good gonna try it right after i flashed 8.11.1

Its how it works. It maxes the big but it lowers little cores. Currently its almost a direct copy from Pixel's 3 schedutil. If you dont like this behaviour i would suggest regular schedutil. Regarding blu_schedutil you can read more on its original thread "blu_spark kernel for OnePlus 6"

What im saying is that i picked the code EXACTLY like it is. Its 99% the same as Pixel 3 schedutil. Also youll notice that the battery drainisnt at all as huge as you think.
Morever while merging there wasnt even one conflict the code is 100% correct and exactly as eng.stk wrote it. Ifnyou have questions about the code im not the person to ask no offense. Im not taking the credits nor the blame for someone elses work. I just think its a nice addition especially for users that need performance.
Also as you may have noticed its not the default gov for that exact reason.
**Also of course there is always the possibility to remove a feature if i see no one finds it usefull.
Btw i always listen to feedback and try to satisfy most of you.

[/FONT][/SIZE]
Simply flash the provided zip file via TWRP over your custom ROM installation. No need to wipe anything!
Before flashing you may want to backup the "Boot" partition. Restore it to revert any changes.
Make sure that you are not connected to charger and let the kernel get stable.
Flashing a ROM will overwrite this kernel: You'll have to flash the kernel zip again after updating your ROM.
REPORTING ISSUES
Before reporting an issue please check that it only occurs when having this kernel installed. Otherwise it may be an issue with the ROM.
The above also applies the other way around: Don't report issues to the maintainer of a ROM unless they also occur without this kernel.
Be aware that performance issues are very likely related to your personal settings. Don't blame me for your modifications.
Always use the latest Kernel release with the latest build of you ROM of choice. If the kernel is much newer than the ROM or the other way around weird issues may arise.

Before flashing this
Would flashing the latest file named unified and dated 20/02 be good enough or would any other zip be needed as well?

Thanks you.
Review after using for more than month .
1. Battery drain - minimal or say best .
2. Speed - snappy as required .
3. Sound - has slimbus OC , so default audio is so good , even on high volume , sound doesn't get distorted .
4. snappy Fingerprint .
5. Has best OnScreen drain , as low as 11/hr , usually 12-13/hr .
6. Online streaming is so good , just because of tweaked performance .
7. Has latest DTS-EAGLE support from Asus Zenfone Z5.
Something about dev : He constantly updates , He is very open to bug reports , You'll get the right answer with right question asked .

This is the best kernel i ever used.
Battery life and performance both are just amazing.
It gives you all the options you ever gonna need.
Stand by drain is not existance.
I am easily getting close to 9H on my two year old device on LTE all day. I didnt think it was possible before.
Thank you so much...
