Introduction:
This modification / custom kernel configuration for Pixel and Pixel XL is optimized and made with the focus on bringing several, carefully tuned behind-the-scenes enhancements & adjustments that improves overall critically needed performance, system responsivness and battery life to the highest possible level. The seed to this project can by the way be found here, for anyone that is interested of its origins.
Note: This script is not recommended to be modified or customized by the user.
The latest release can be found here.
Disclaimer:
This is presented as "what if". If this modification screws up or breaks anything for you, I am not the one to be held responsible. It's a free will to try out this kind of changes/modifications/addons/tweaks, just don't blame the inventors for eventual bad results and/or screw-ups.
Features:
Reduced battery consumption
Device specific enhancements for best possible balance between battery life & performance
Enabled, and fully configured, Boeffla generic kernel wakelock blocker
[
Disabled a lot of useless stuff at kernel level (Improves battery life as well as performance)
CPUSet improvements & optimizations
Schedtune tweaks (Improves responsivness)
Power efficiency enhancements
Wide IO block tuning (Reduces the possibility of hiccups, lags and overhead)
Possibly other miscellaneous things I've forgotten to write down here, both big and small.
Requirements/what you need for getting this script fully working:
An unlocked bootloader
Your own specific choice of kernel
Latest Magisk
Busybox for Android NDK Magisk Module by @osm0sis
Patience
Installation/How-To use & abuse:
1) Download the attached ZIP
2) Extract the script
3) Move the script to the following location;
/data/adb/service.d and give the script the following permissions (0755)
4) Reboot your phone, let Android boot to the launcher and let Magisk boot service do its crucial magic (takes a few seconds before the scripts is fully up and running around behind the scenes)
5) Enjoy!
Note: If you still are unsure how to do for making my kernel configuration / modification work & be up and running behind the scenes, then please read @Phalanx7621 phenomenal guide here or check out @Phalanx7621 in-depth video here. The installation method is the same for both the first generation as well as the second generation of Pixels!

Been following your thread over in the Pixel 2 XL forum, nice to have you here
Edit: sorry for stealing the first post btw hehe
EDIT: My changelog dedicated post have exceeded 30000 characters, so I have decided that the changelog will only be included in the respective update posts from now on!
So you all know how the situation is.

I'll do whatever I can on the first generation Pixels for giving you guys & girls the same awesome experience.
And thanks btw.

Update!
v1.1 (Minor release)
- Made a few more (hopefully) battery conserving adjustments to the Sched governor.
Enjoy!
There is no .core folder inside /sbin, do we have to create it ? Edit: reboot solved. Couldn't see it.
Got it installed and I'm thinking it's working. Does the script turn off Core Control ? Just noticed it's off in Ex Kernel Manager , is this by design ?

Hm, I have not touched the specific tunable that is controlling Core Control.. Maybe it is disabled because of my Sched CPU governor tweak.

I mean I'm only concerned with battery life. If you get better battery life with it off, I'm down with that for sure.

I will compare how my Marlin / Pixel XL performs with it disabled respectively enabled and see which "solution" that is giving best battery life with less performance tradeoffs, and then I will include the best overall compromise in v1.2 of my kernel configuration / script.
For anyone else interested in this, this is how I went about it:
1) Downloaded Flash Kernel from his thread over here https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-xl/development/marlin-flash-kernel-1-00-t3788300
2) Downloaded the latest version of this mod
3) Downloaded the Magisk module required, which you can find by searching Magisk for "busybox" and choosing the "Busybox for android NDK" version
4) Flash that Magisk module, reboot into recovery, flash the Flash kernel (no need to reflash magisk, it's automatic), reboot back into system.
5) Check to make sure Magisk is functioning properly, for me I had to reboot due to an error in the application but that may have been on my end.
6) So now you have Flash kernel and the Magisk module required to be able to properly run this script. Extract the script from the .zip file you downloaded to a folder.
7) Ok so these next steps if you aren't familiar with this stuff could be tricky, but it's actually simple it just sounds tricky. I use Mixplorer for this, I highly suggest using it, it's free and it's on XDA Labs here. https://labs.xda-developers.com/store/app/com.mixplorer But any file explorer w/ root access will do. Inside the folder you extracted the script into there are two versions, choose the Public Release version and copy that file. Navigate to root ( / ) and go to /data/media/0 and paste the file there. The reason for this is you have to change the permissions to allow it to be an executable script and this folder allows that. (there are other ways to do this, FYI but this works just fine for me) You want the permissions to be 755, so it would look like this: (see attachment) To change permissions in Mixplorer, just long press the file and hit the little i (for information) in the upper right. Then click on the permissions you want to change.
8) Now all you have to do is copy that file you just changed the permissions to and paste it into: /sbin/.core/img/.core/service.d | | Now you won't be able to SEE .core unless you have hidden files on, in Magisk it's in the upper right hand corner 3 dot menu. Click Show Hidden. After you paste the file there, reboot and congratulations, you have achieved greatness.

Release 8.6
This is a Kernel I built for my own purposes, and now for others, based on the current EVO kernel (as of whenever I last merged it to my branch) and changes from various sources.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Features
Here's what's different to the main tree (See changelog for latest changes in case I forget to update this)
Packaged to be compatible with cedesmith's new style initrd for easy installation on builds using it
CIFS support via a module
mac address patch for wifi/bt by mdebeljuh. See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=819819
Built without support for ext3 and yaffs
Optimized for speed rather than size
Removed some debug features the average user isn't capable of using anyway (dmesg/logcat still work)
G-sensor workaround by mdebeljuh & jdivic (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=9208297#post9208297)
Smartass governor added as default
Sysfs interface for optional under/overvolting (see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=821372) (800-1350mV)
Optional overclocking (via SetCPU or similar) to 1536MHz - USE AT YOUR OWN RISK - it may damage your phone
Optional older battery driver with my patch to support the official HTC extended battery (eb version)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Extended battery users extra WARNING!
r8.3+ version with "eb" supports extended batteries using the old driver. r7.7+ temperature reporting for extended batteries is reasonable but NOT accurate. Please see this post for more information.
As of r8.5.3 versions without eb in the name have EXPERIMENTAL (ie it has known bugs) support for extended batteries using a patch to the new driver. More information.

DONATIONS
In the past I've suggested donating to your favorite charity instead of me.
But I've decided due to the amount of time this is now taking to accept some donations. I encourage you to still consider a charity first, such as:
http://www.kennedysdisease.org/
So far I've had enough donations to buy an official HTC extended battery for testing purposes. Future donations will probably be spent on beer, coffee or junk food.
Please only donate if you can spare the money. NOTE: I've all but given up getting extended battery support working with the new driver!
I also can't make any guarantees on how long I can keep investing time in the kernel so please consider any donations to be for past work done, not what I might do in the future.
Finally please note I'm building a kernel here and working on the odd bit of code. The bulk of the work is done by others:
Cotulla
Markinus
Letama
Rajko
gauner1986
and no doubt more I've missed
Donations to some of them can be made here:

Anyone having issues with this kernel. PLEASE before you post them here, try the following:
Make sure you reboot twice after installing so files get updated (or manually update them then reboot if your build won't auto update)
Actually reading the README.txt provided!
Reading my FAQ
If that doesn't work try a stock EVO kernel
If you still have issues with the stock EVO kernel it's nothing I've done and we may have to wait for the devs to fix it.
If that still doesn't work, then don't use any task killers, and try a clean format of your SD card.
If that still doesn't work you're out of luck.

Further Information
I am running Autokiller (despite it's name this is not an automatic task killer) set to Optimum.
I do recommend System Panel Lite to be able to see what processes are using your CPU. I DO NOT recommend using any automatic task killer.
I do recommend using EBL with a 3 sec timeout

A note on the included lights file
memin1857 said:
I talked to gauner1986 (author of the new lights file) and the filename comes from the build.prop file.
It is the ro.board.platform=xxxxxx line in the build.prop file.
xxxxx is also your lights filename. (lights.xxxxx.so)
For example my desire hd build has msm7x30
others I have seen are htcleo, default, qsd8k, ace, bravo.
So you have to rename the lights.htcleo.so that is in hastarins root\system\lib\hw folder to match your builds filename if you want it to work.

Old versions
Old camera driver versions for builds that haven't been updated to support the new driver yet:
Release r8.5.3_oldcam - http://www.multiupload.com/KTF4ULINT3
(as per base but with old camera driver)
Release r8.5.3_eb_oldcam - http://www.multiupload.com/X6ZTQ9S2ER
(as above but with older battery driver with extended battery support)

Notes:
This should work with any build that can use the EVO kernel.
Data will not work on RMNET based builds.
For anyone else complaining about no data issues make sure you installed the kernel AND modules correctly, and if you're using an older build you may need to update your WiFi firmware and/or your radio.
If it's no data over 3G also check your APN settings.

- Removed NFS support
- Moved CIFS support to a module
- Built with support for tunneling (GRE), may help those with VPN issues
[I]Release r8 - 30/10/2010[/I]
- MAJOR CHANGES = now closer to main tree
- Removed gauner1986s video driver tweaks (they were causing issues merging the main tree)
- DOES NOT support extended batteries due to the new ace based driver (until I can figure out a fix, best bet for eb users is to catch myself and/or Markinus on IRC over the next week or so and we may be able to test further)
- DOES NOT support Overclocking/Undervolting/AXI My testing shows they provide minimal benefit in day to day use, and tend to cause unpredictable errors that will make troubleshooting remaining issues (like data issues) harder. I may release a kernel with these things when everything is running smoothly, but until then I won't even be running one on my phone.
- Perflocked = You can't even underclock with SetCPU. My reasoning is the same as above.
- Merged main tree (updated battery driver from Desire HD kernel, plus a tweak to help prevent oom errors)
- Updated wifi.mac patch by mdebeljuh (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=8828147)
- Added PPP patch from http://docs.openmoko.org/trac/ticket/2212 (no this does not fix everything with PPP)

I have no idea sorry. I updated the original post to indicate this.
you test this build?
or

hastarin said:
I debated releasing an actual built version of this, rather than just the diff, but here goes...
This is a Kernel I built for my own purposes based on the current EVO kernel (as of this commit) and the diffs guaner1986 and darkstone provided in his Desire HD - Beta 2 build.
It has some minor tweaks to the code provided to enable overclocking with AXI enabled. Undervolting support was already there, from gauner1986.diff, along with audio tweaks and others. darkstones shadow writes and writecombine graphic tweaks are also included.
Use at your own risk if you know how. I won't be answering questions on this and I won't be doing another build in a hurry, I'll leave that to the core folks that really know what they're doing.
What's included:
The kernel (as Image) and needed modules
Latest haret.exe
A new initrd.gz (for use with darkstones Desire HD Beta 2 Build) with a logo.rle as created by Letama (hope he doesn't mind)
Diff of the changes made
Before people ask, and so I don't have to answer, no it is not built for extended batteries (unless the base kernel is and I didn't know about it).
NOTE: I have not tested this with other builds. Try it at your own risk. I don't understand half the code in gauner1986's patch.

That said, I've linked "know how" in the original post to the wiki:

Should I try this with mattc 1.7 or is there no chance to boot it with this kernel?
Thanks for your work will test.
if OP wanted to publish something that has worked well for him
he should be willing to support the thread not warn those who

see my point? that is not in the spirit of community really now is it?
It's working fine. I don't like the first image but better than a white screen. It's overclock to 1113*** . I'll go home later to test WiFi .
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
First, thanks $aur0n for the nice work and I can now also boot from SD card and enjoy the rooted system in EXT4

Beware! After overclock, you will feel a bit hotter than before and battery drains much faster!! Flash it at your own risk.
What you need to do is:
1) Install SDE
2) Get the initramfs from this post (download the kernel+init.zip and extract it): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9948644&postcount=1
3) Replace the zImage with the new overclocked kernel
4) Boot into SDE recovery menu and copy the initramfs.cpio.gz and zImage through USB cable
5) Boot into SDE developer OS
6) You should get all your apps here and have superuser right now
You will now have read/write access to /system/ or /data/ ...etc.
Next step: You can download GScript from the market (free) to make some custom scripts to remove unnecessary apps and replace the hosts file, etc.

Give us a "Thank" if you think this kernel works great for you

Oh thanks man! I'll impliment this into my own version of Auron's, yeah there was some confusion about your method, thanks for clearing that up!
Nevermind XD I don't know enough to add that, but Auron heavily uses EXT4 which he compiled into his kernel, which is probably why it isn't working for you, he explains in his topic the things he did or did not do.

Thanks. BTW, it would be good if Auron will release his source such that we know what exactly is changed apart from the EXT4 things.
New kernel updated!!!
Get it at the #1 post
Now, it is EXT4 support and can be used together with $aur0n initramfs !!!
Down-clock to 1100Mhz seems to make it more stable
Thanks man really appreciate your quick work! works perfectly with Auron's
Although I'm curious how that overclock works, I've read up on it and it seems that everyone else is making overclocking modules etc. your solution seems a lot more efficient. Do other people know about it too?
I first though it was just a soft change, something that didn't affect the hardware, but something that just forced the digit 1100 instead of 1000, this doesn't appear to be the case since I get some speed gains in Quadrant
~ benched a 2438 ^^
edit: is it possible for you to change the LOWEST value as well? i'm not sure how it would react but I imagine a 100Mhz/200Mhz feature would save up some standby-battery-usage also is it possible to change the intervals with this method? so that we can get 300/400/500/600/700..1100?
edit2: would it be theoretically possible to compile a kernel with driver support for gamepads and others? perhaps ntfs-3g to mount ntfs external drivers... thinking about this we have usb host on this device and an open bootloader

The most difficult part is to determine how much voltage to be given to each frequency. So, it would take some efforts to study.
In addition, setting too low frequency is not necessary be good because the machine might go into deep sleep and never wake up.
Have you run any Super PI tests (or something similar) to see if there are stability issues with the increased clock rates?
Typically when I over-clock my CPU on my PC I increase the voltages at the micro or mini level (CPU, Front Side Bus, Memory, Memory Controller, etc.). As an example 1.3500 may not be stable but 1.3501 could be. Typically You can find the voltage tolerances typically at CPU manufacturer website (ie Intel for me). of course you also have to deal with the temperature of the CPU and other supporting components that regulate the voltage. I will run a Super PI type application to test stability for a few hours. If it works then dont add voltage.. if it comes back with a miscalculation OR an application/OS crash then increase the voltage by a micro amount...
You are correct when you saw it not performing at a higher clock rate... typically what happens if the CPU does not have enough voltage to perform at the expected clock rate it seems to throttle the execution rate to ensure some level of integrity of the executing transaction..
Unfortunately over-clocking is not a science..

its using the same cpu as a lot of android phones are and i daresay that most of the work (working out optimal cpu voltage etc) has already been done
The question is for non-standard clock rates. Standard clock rates should have well defined voltages.

can this kernel work on a101 or not?
Yes it will work, I'm 90% sure since they tested it on the 70IT and it's working perfect on my 43IT.

While this kernel has been OC, it only allows you to choose higher frequencies. BUT, you can still choose 1000 Mhz as the highest by setting it in SetCPU.
After setting min/max as 1000Mhaz in SetCPU, this kernel is just like any other kernels, except that I have applied some of the newest kernel patches (fix bugs?) so that this kernel MUST be better than the stock one.
Hope you enjoy using it
no no, the problem is that after installing oc kernel(without touching anything about frequency), angry birds doesn't run and asphalt 5 doesn't run well and it closes when init a race...So, what's the problem? I have returned to original kernel(with rooting), and now are perfectly running(angry birds and asphalt5)...

It is quit strange, coz I can run angry birds, dungeon hunter, etc.. very smoothly even when I use 1100 Mhz, have you tried to install SetCPU and set the frequency?
Any one have similar problems?
Working great on my A101! It's subtle, but I do notice a slight performance increase in pocket legends. Keep up the great work ardatdat!
ok so i did it and now the youtube app freezes up with 1100 or 1200 mhz...the video plays for like 3 or 4 sec and than freeze leaving only audio playback.. video plays normal at 1000 mhz and down...
thanks for your sharing
but I can't unzipped the newest kernel
the 7-zip showed "file broken"

All the hardworking Kernel Devs at lkml.org (Linus Torvalds, Jens Axboe, Mike Galbraith, etc.)
Special Mention to the following:
To my mates at the HyperDroid Dev Team: (who help me test and refine the features of our kernel for our ROM)
Arighi (for the initial guidance on how to get the kernel booting and working & a lot of battery driven patches)
D.O.C. (formerly doctorcete) (for the friendship and being an example of diplomacy in dealing with usual ****storm of questions from users who refuse to search and read)
AF974(for the Overcome based Recovery that's so bad ass I want to stay in recovery)
petsasj (for his great work on HyperDroidParts and all future Apps that are just pure awesomesauce!)
sicopat (for letting us use his server and helping us out with a lot of things smali)
s2d4 (for testing everything at the risk of the potentially time sucking Soft Brick... especially since we use a Mac)

This new Kernel has no need for any other tweaks as we've tweaked it based on extensive testing over the past several months... based on best practices for our specific hardware. (Huge props to s2d4 for his extensive testing to the point of breaking... we took the risk of breaking our devices so you won't have too... fully tested tweaks here!)

The first boot would take some time as the dalvik cache is rebuilt, dont panick!!
Already rooted / on Custom ROM
Copy downloaded ROM zip file in root dir of sd card.

Flashing Surgeons and themes - Quick reckoner
Surgeon = DPI change + Remove Bloatware (make changes in the update script as you think fit) + Tweaks & Apps + Theme (includes boot logo and boot anim)
To flash a new surgeon, flash base again (since base is full wipe, take backup of apps/user data through titanium, darky OTA etc...)
Flash base + surgeon/Flash base + theme: Wipe cache, dalvik cache and flash.
To flash a theme on top of a surgeon or on an exisiting theme, flash the stock Samsung theme FIRST and then go ahead with flashing the new theme.

General Q & A Section:
Q.)How can I tell if this is actually working or not?
A.)Open Terminal Emulator and type this command...
Code:
su
killjoy
Q.)Help!!! Why is my phone bootlooping?
A.)I need more detailed information like what device you have, what version of android are you on, what recovery are you using? Better yet please get me a adb boot logcat as well.
Q.)Build.prop tweaks did not inject!!! Why?
A.)You don't have init.d support!!!
Q.)But my kernel supports init.d so why is my buildprop not getting injected?
A.)Well obviously you don't have init.d support cause if you did the build.prop would have been injected.
Q.)How can I test to see if I have init.d support?
A.)Flash this - http://www.mediafire.com/?97q4sh1wwcesois
Once you flash it then go into /data folder and look to see if you have a file called "okj_test.log", no log means no init.d support. END OF STORY!!!
Standard Disclaimer: Flash at your own risk. Myself nor XDA is responsible for any damage this thing may cause you. If your phone blows up after flashing this and you point the finger at me or team kernelizers I will laugh at you!!!

ModeSelektor is a simply app for manage power consumption and performance of redmi note 3.
The purpose of app is create a simply platform that give the possibility to set quickly the kernel parameters that affect the power consumption and performance. For do it ModeSelektor set this parameters:
-cpu interactive governors
-cpubw governors
-min cpu freq
-hmp sched boost
-low power level
-input boost
-touch boost
-stock hotplug
-entropy
-brightness
ModeSelektor is compatible with all N and MM custom rom with stock or custom kernels, but optimised for kernel that use the stock hotplug.
ModeSelektor is also compatible with miui but some users report that the copy from assets sometimes give error then it's possible fix it by manually copying the files. For fix it download the ModeSelktor.zip that contain the files and extract it in /sdcard make sure that the contents of zip are located in /sdcard/ModeSelektor
ABOUT SELEKTOR
Battery:
The perfect mode for medium and ligth use like chat, media reproduction and browsing.
Balanced:
An optimised version of stock cm settings
Performance:
The perfect mode for the players and the users with only a think in mind...kill any lag
Personally I recommend this optionals settings:
Adreno idler on for the Battery and the Balance modes
Zen scheduler set to 2048 kb
Adreno boost low during soft use and medium during game
For more info about script check /sdcard/ModeSelektor or the souces.

Sorry but the problem is in the name of directory, what is your internal storage name? it's /sdcard ?
Yes, most likely. I read logcat and saw this:
Code:
01-06 01:43:17.490 E/su (8325): Unknown id: /sdcard/ModeSelektor/scripts/S01_Ultra_Battery
internal storage name /storage/emulated/0
But the scripts are moved to sdcard(screenshot attached). Why is not working?

Other users report me that app work, and it is strange issue because if the app create the ModeSelektor directory the path its the same when it run the script. The app until now have only one issue it replace all time the script in ModeSelektor folder when start, I forget to add an exception in this build. Last think, you can check if sh file is present in /system/bin?
Yes, sh file is present

Now I have no idea. All the time I thought that the result of battery only have due to radon 3.5 and the script does not working

Before report that the app don't work post a complete review, you can't tell that app don't work without specify what mode you try and without post complete statistics about battery.
