Extremely Alpha Code
Hey everyone...
I've developed what I think is the first 1.2ghz overclock for the Galaxy tab Sprint ONLY.
WARNING: THIS KERNEL MAY NOT WORK ON YOUR DEVICE, MIGHT DESTROY YOUR DEVICE, MIGHT PUNCH YOUR CHILDREN, I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE CAUSED BY THIS KERNEL, USE AT YOUR OWN RISK
Whew... now that the warning is out of the way I present a 1.4/1.2 overclock based off of the details here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=943669
Quadrant Score: 1129
Linpack Score: 19.29
You will want to unpack the zImage and push it over with Heimdall, while in download mode (hold down power + vol-down until you get the download mode screen).
FOR OTHER DEVELOPERS
------------------------------------------
As I stated before, if you follow the link above and modify the exact same lines you can add this to you kernels as well.. however the file names are different, the files you want to modify are..
arch/arm/plat-samsung/max8998_consumer.c
arch/arm/plat-samsung/s5pc11x-dvfs.c
arch/arm/mach-s5pv210/clock.c
The last one took me forever to grep and find...
This is just the first of many versions, I will look into other CPU frequencies and voltages, lets see how far we can push this baby.
Donate!
V3.3 --- EXT4 ONLY Kernel... only use this if you are on ext4
V3.1 --- Fixed Ext4(?) NOPE
V3.0 --- Based on EA24 Source - untested with older software. Adds EXT4 (broken)
V2.0 --- 1.4/1.2 GHZ OC, reverted previous changes, NO EXT4 (yet..) ONLY FOR SPRINT, USB FIXED - based on koxudaxi's patch
You'll want to use the voltage control app here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=943669
V1.2 --- 1.2 ghz OC, 1.35 Overvolt (for stability), ext2/3/4/rfs
V1.1 --- Added 1ghz back in as a choice, reset your setcpu to select it.
V1.0 --- Added 1.2ghz overclock (replaced 1.0ghz default, will fix later)
would you be willing to do one for us gsm users if we provide kernals for you
Testing now but awesome work!! Works like a charm! I would take it it would run stable about the same speeds as the other Hummingbird processors at normal voltage ( 1200 ) and lower voltages at 1440 just fine but who knows
This is with this Kernel and OCLF.
(LinPack 17.5)
(Quad Score 2369)
(SmartBench 1469 3344)
Damn you, sprint users. . At least there is hope for pushing the Tab now, cheers
How about just setting #define USE_1DOT2GHZ 1 in s5pc11x-dvfs.c and in linux/arch/arm/mach-s5pv210/cpu-freq.c?
That should switch everything to 1.2GHz tables that Samsung nicely prepared for us?
it seems to work for me just fine.
how to update?
Are you sure it works without altering clock.c? Until I changed that file my device was reporting 1.2ghz but it was still super slow.
EDIT: nvm, you're right. Changing that would change clock.c as well. I don't plan on using the default tables, but it's a good place to start if you want to stick to default values. I know this thing can do more than 1.2ghz.

Anyone could do it easily, but I"ll see what I can do. I've gotten ahold of roto's initrd, I just need to grab the source from Samsung. I don't get home until very late in the evening so I can't promise that someone won't beat me to it!
Please, someone beat him to it.
I've never flashed a kernel before, but it worked without a hitch. Thanks!
This sounds awesome, I'm curious if it makes a big difference in performance and how it affects battery life, those of you that use it please post your experiences! Thanks! I know using custom kernels on my N1 makes a huge difference though so I'm hoping this does too...
Looking forward to seeing how much difference this makes, my n900 i clock to 1.2ghz from the default 600 clock (downclocked cortex A7 @ 600mhz default). so pretty sure the tab should do 1.4 or so faultlessly?
Looking forward to GSM revisions, hopefully Roto may even include this in his roms later (well i'm wishing ^^).
Nice to see someone brave enough to start the ball rolling

Any word on if this will work for vzw?
I just bought a Galaxy tab and I've never built an Android Kernel before but I spent yesterday tearing through the how-to from the CM guys. I'm familiar with C pretty well, so I was glad to see that I'd be building C and not some Java I'd be totally illiterate to. I'm hoping stepping up to these crazy ARM cores from my usual embedded work with AVR's and 32mhz ARMs shouldn't have too terrible a learning curve.
Anyone who's done kernel building for android before: Is it pretty much a straight forward build process? For some of the embedded work I've done with RTOS systems I've spent days digging through memory maps, linker files and assembly code to trouble shoot issues... Just curious if those will be useful skills for android?

I actually used the Verizon kernel configuration, since there is no sprint one. I think it should work on Verizon.. make a kernel backup first!
The only difference could be in the initrd but I have no way of knowing until someone tries it.

Kernel is not stable, and development is on hold
Ok i have created a new kernel for sense based roms, including my rom TurboFire.
Features
Allows overclocking upto 864MHz
Default is 600/245 screen on 245/245 screen off
Supports ext2/3/4
Supports swap
As always make a backup first before flashing this.
This kernel includes the andrev_oc overclocking daemon. It is a native written program than changes the frequency based on phone state. This is better than the smartass govenor as you have more control, and its more stable, quicker and more effective than using setcpu to control frequencies based on phone state.
It can be controlled by OC/UV Beater which is included in the .zip. You must uninstall all cpu control apps first or it will automatically deactivate.
Remember when overclocking, use TEMP activate for a few minutes before using perm activate to make sure it is stable.
This does not work with CM7 or ICS based roms, so dont try it, I will work on a CM7 version tomorrow.

V2:http://djpc.org.uk/roms/TurboKernelV2-by-djpc.zip
V3:http://djpc.org.uk/roms/TurboKernelV3-by-djpc.zip
OC daemon and control:http://djpc.org.uk/roms/OC-Turbo-deamon.zip
Changelog:
V2
Wifi maybe fixed (need testers)
Changed acpu tables - new max overclock 864MHz
V3
Kernel and daemon are now seperate for testing purposes
Hopefully fixed (fingers crossed)
OK im sorry guys, i jumped the gun a little on this phone, unfortunatly the way the processor's clock generator works we can only have multiples of a certain frequency, which leaves us capped at 864MHz, this is a physical barrier associated with the way the hardware was made and no dev will be able to change this.
I hope to have voltage tweaking working at some point so people can run there devices at higher frequencies.

Great! Can't wait, I wish you luck. I'm really hoping more development steps on the scene for MarvelC.
I hope my phone dosent blow up.
I have trouble overclocking to 787 mhz, I don't think about 1.5 Ghz, but I am willing to try.

Never can't be true, 806 is the max. Even I cant reach 806 Mhz.
He just wants to be popular .
But the extra features are great if the kernel would work well .
OC doesn't work. Max is 600 mhz
At 1.5GHz it would be as hot as holding the sun in your hand lol
Would simply burn your CPU out!!!
Be careful guys.
just add another core to ws
Sry, but are you crazy announcing 1.5 ghz, even the desire s with a stock speed of 1 ghz is only up to 1.8 ghz stable, that would mean the wfs could only be overclocked to 1ghz without getting unstable, but it would also get hot with this speed.
Swyped from my desire s running damn sweet ice cream
I set 1.5GHz as the max as that number is an arbitrary number, im not expecting people to achieve this (if the kernel work properly anyway) and i doubt the phone would be stable enough to even get hot at that speed; i set it there so people can try as high as they dare rather than as high as the kernel maker wants them to go. As for those saying that anything above 800mhz is impossible, im trying to get voltage control working so that you can increase the voltage slightly (this i will cap to sensible values or else you can fry stuff) so you can hit higher numbers. My desire z has run at 1.9GHz before, from stock of 800MHz, and im not a lucky one. I know its a totaly different phone but these MSM phones can overclock really well normally.
I am going to look into the wifi today and get that fixed as well as fixing the frequency table, as well as having higher frequency's i will have more in the 600-800 mhz region for those who have phones that dont like to be overclocked. I also hope to build a CM7 version and one for the marvelc as they have been left in the cold atm for OC kernels.
PS: This dev work is difficult for me as i dont personally own a WFS for testing, if people want to get this kernel and coming roms working fast with no bugs i need people to read the dev team thread and join the irc, we already have a few guys in there and when things have gotten going it is very productive, benjamin as nearly gotten the touchscreen working for ICS now
Good work, can you check your pm's?
I ask again here, can you edit jikantaru's kernel so max is 600 Mhz and not 806 Mhz?
Thanks

If you are benchmarking be sure to force gpu rendering and edit file in /system/lib/egl and delete first line totally, so only the second line stays (thanks bigxie )..
Here are another 2 build.prop tricks your rom might or might not use:
ro.kernel.android.checkjni=0
windowsmgr.max_events_per_sec=240
Paste anywhere in build.prop. it won't change benchmarks, but real feel.
Hope this helps

Morfic, I have thorough enjoyed testing your kernels and im glad it has progressed this far! You don't even have a Galaxy Nexus yet! Hopefully once people get a taste. Of your kernels, more people will donate!
Even though you just started developing for the gnex, your kernel is already amazing! Thanks for all the hard work!
Now I'm jealous that I did not get to try them out
Morfic I gotta say helping you test these was a pleasure. This thing at 512 MHz gpu is super smooth and quick. My battery life over the past day has also been stellar. Can't wait for you to get the phone so you can run the fruits of your labor lol. Amazing work man.

Thanks for your hard work!
I was wondering which governors and schedulers are the best for say performace or battery? I've done a little research on my own, but what do you prefer on your HTC One V? I've got aokp JB running on my cdma one v
Thanks!
I am a kernel dev, so naturally I know whats behind this code Lionheart is my favorite as it has aggressive scaling. No lag is also good, in some cases. On demand is great with battery though. I can get roughly 8 hours mid use with on demand. I hope this helps with deciding your governors.

Hey Simon! I'm actually running your 3.0.46 sick kernel JB with AOKP. It's wonderful!! haha so far, I've been running OC at 1708 with the performance governor and noop scheduler... it's lasted 11 hours and I'm at 73% battery, medium to light use with wifi on the whole time, but it's pretty snappy!
Is Lionheart pretty much a performance governor? You mentioned aggressive scaling, so it's snappy when it needs to be, but saves for battery when you're not using it?
BTW I didn't see a "no lag" governor... not sure what that is, so can you clarify? Also, is performance actually the best for snappiness, or will lionheart be even better? I used to use [email protected]$$v2 on my optimus v, but I'm just not sure what's best here?
Nolag is a new addition. I have been hard at work removing even more htc things Lionheart is a bit nicer on battery then performance, because it will scale to your minimum of its not needed. Perfoance stays at full no matter. Cpu spy will be a good tool to help with battery as well

Oh kool! Well I don't see it in the latest kernel, so will it be in the next kernel? Thanks dude, you're awesome!
I'll fill everyone in on this thread on the work.
We are :
Patching to Linux 3.0.49
Removing htc additions that are hacks and ics specific.
Cleaning Bluetooth and header files up
Updating WiFi drivers
Updating GPU drivers
Overhauling the mmc drivers
We also have a driver dev that's working on camera and maybe eventually an lcdc driver which will allow us to use the experimental caf display needed for cyanogen mod10 and full project butter

ALL CREDITS GO TO THE ONE AND ONLY KTOONSEZ FOR THIS AWESOME KERNEL AND GIVING ME THE OPPORTUNITY TO PROVIDE THESE BUILDS.
I am not a developer and am in no way affiliated with Ktoonsez or his work. I’m just a simple member of the XDA community who happens to be a huge supporter of this kernel and its creator. This is just my way of giving back. I am aware of some of the recent issues occurring on the Linux 3.4 base builds and this is my response to that:
This is by no means intended to replace any of the original KT747 kernel threads. The purpose of this thread is simply to work in conjunction with them by providing a variety of 3.0 and 3.4 builds for users to experiment with and see which versions function properly on each of their respective phone models. So I’ve gathered MOST of the earlier as well as current builds that I had hidden within my pc and am sharing them with the public. I hope this makes a difference for all you guys. ENJOY!! :good:

***FLASH AT YOUR OWN RISK***
***** IMPORTANT *****
If you are using my ktoonservative governor with the Touchwiz JELLYBEAN version, you should rename /system/bin/qosmgr to /system/bin/qosmgr.bak to prevent battery drain
Always do the following AFTER installing the kernel:
1. Clear cache
2. Clear dalvik
3. Fix Permissions

If you are UPDATING the kernel, follow my recommended procedure for best possible results:
1) Backup current Ktweaker settings
2) Navigate to Settengs > Apps > Ktweaker
3) Clear cache and data then force stop
4) {Optional} Open any root browser, mount as r/w, then navigate to /system/app/ and delete Ktweaker apk
5) {Optional} Clear all Superuser logs
6) Reboot Recovery
7) Flash kernel
8) Wipe cache/dalvik
9) Fix permissions
10) Reboot
11) Restore Ktweaker settings

Welcome to the Ktweaker Shop!
Here you will find all of the pre-configured settings provided by myself and some of our fellow users. As a proud member of Team Kernelizers, I am offering a variety of profiles specifically for S3 users with their personal needs in mind as it's pretty clear no one favors the same governor, scheduler, etc.. Any suggestions are always welcome. All future settings will be added here for sharing and discussing our settings as well as gaining approval on a profile to be added into the built-in Shop in Ktweaker. Keep in mind that results will always vary per device regardless on the settings being used. Apply what works best for you and your phone. We're here to help eachother out and with more options comes better experiences for everyone running this kernel. Big thanks to ALL who have contributed!
So shop around.. pick and choose.. load and go!!
Installation
Download links will include the specified profile(s) as well as an "Adjustments" and an "About" file. The "Adjustments" file is just for easy view of all changes made to a profile compared to stock settings.
1. Download the file(s) to your phone. In case of .bin files, optionally rename the file(s) as .txt
2. Copy ONLY the profile(s) (DO NOT copy the "Adjustments" or "About" file) to /sdcard/KTweaker folder using a file Manager of your choice.
3. Open Ktweaker app and click on "Restore Prefs from sdcard".
4. The file you just copied should be listed there. Choose the one you want to apply.
5. After applying, make sure the "Set options on boot" setting on the main menu of KTweaker has a little green text bellow confirming that the settings will be applied upon reboot.
6. Profit!
Balanced Bull: Reloaded (updated: 11~15~13)
These settings are very special to me as they were my very first, dating back to the Galaxy S3, and has gained an incredible amount of feedback. It has become notable for it's fairly smooth interface and amazing battery life. If this stacks up to your standards then I encourage you to use it!
Nightmare To Remember
This will likely become your beautiful, never ending nightmare.. It offers a unique balance between battery and performance but unlike Balanced Bull, it is slightly more performance oriented due to the more aggressive scale up to max CPU. However, only 2 cores will be used for the majority of the time so you can still enjoy a nice buttery smooth interface with just enough juice to last you through the day.
Bless The Child v3 (updated: 10~25~13)
Based on Ktoonservateq and aimed towards battery. This is specifically for all the battery hungry users out there wanting to conserve as much power as possible. So don't expect the BEST but rather decent performance out of this one.
Feed The Machine
The exact opposite of Bless the Child. This is a performance oriented option for all hardcore users. If battery isn't a priority for you then this is a great option.
Day Of Reckoning
Very similar to Nightmare To Remember but is aimed slightly more towards battery without deteriorating much of the performance. It is based off the Pegasusq governor.
Super Bull 2.1 by @MavereXx (updated: 9~24~13)
A derivative of Balanced Bull but aiming towards more extreme polarity of performance and battery life. Stable Undervolting for i337, i337m, m919, and i9505 CPU and GPUs. Overclocks up to 1998mhz going all the way down to 81mhz without causing severe lag or stuttering or slow wake ups. Tries to find the right balance between ultimate performance and battery life.

Dead By April v2.2 (updated: 11~15~13)
This profile attempts to bring some of the best battery life possible to your device. It is similar to Bless The Child but takes things a step further . It now focuses more on snappiness but still maintains it's well known battery conservation. It manages to maintain a smooth ui for your average daily use.
Project Icarus by @mamba720027
So some may wonder why the name "Icarus",why not Hyper Performance or Deadly Good Battery.
Well the reason and to begin explination,short history.
Icarus is a greek mythology who is seen today as a mythical pioneer that tried to conquer the skies.
I like that mythology cause it kinda corresponds to my own saying "fly high or fall hard" which means to aim high or fail trying. So their you have it folks and thus the profile name "Icarus".
And onto explination of each profiles.
The first is "Performance" which is catered for straight out performance with also good battery performance.
This one is for when u dont give a rats flying balls about battery really and just want everything super fast and smooth. But you maybe surprise of battery performance. I recommend everyone try this profile first. My current favorite
The second is "Conservative" this is for those seeking performance but also better battery performance than the first.
This one is the middle man or lady as u may want to refer to it. It gives the best of both worlds,performance and battery. So if the first leave you stranded then fear not, this is the one to turn too
The third is "Kamikaze" which means "god wind". It either knocks the daylight out of your Galaxy S4 due to its high undervolteing and mean intent on Battery Performance but still snappy.
This one the undervolting is of my personal voltage table that runs stable for me with other tweaks. If it runs successfully for anyone else then battery performance may be great.
This one is for those that likes the thrill of trying something new and unsure if it will work

Undisputed 3 (updated: 12~11~13)
This is a universal performance setup in which combines the essential elements of other profiles by providing equal battery life, speed, performance, and stability to bring the ultimate experience to your device.
ECLIPSE v2 (updated: 10~25~13)
This is a performance oriented option where great battery life is also expected to intervene. This not only will bring an incredibly stable, smooth, and snappy feel to your device but will also benefit towards longer lasting battery so you can love and enjoy your phone the way you were meant to.
Asking Alexandria
Another battery driven profile in which focuses on saving as much juice as possible while also maintaining stability and providing an extremely snappy feel to your phone. It is quite possibly one of the smoothest and snappiest battery saving profiles available.
Why Asking Alexandria?
It's named after yet another one of my top favorite metalcore bands and I chose this because Alexander The Great basically ruled the world at one point and "Alexandria" is the female equivalent to that name, which has become known to mean the "one who comes to save warriors".
"Asking" was an addition to the title name as an indication in the sense that we are all asking Alexandria what she can really do to our phone.
Smooth Criminal by @ORT14
Why Smooth Criminal you ask? Simple, this profile will keep your phone running as Smooth as ever, so smooth that it is Criminal to still get this type of battery life. Last test my phone went over two days with six plus hours of screen time without a charge (see below) while still running super smooth. This profile will change your life (well maybe not). Give it a try and let me know what you think.

Super Battery Saver 3.0 by @MavereXx (updated: 10~7~13)
This profile is not about performance, even though its surprisingly smooth. Gentle Undervolting.. your s4 now has only a 1.1ghz processor. .. but remember: This is when battery life is all you care about!

Project Daylight v2 by @mamba720027 (updated: 12~23~13)
Day Light is focused mainly on battery conservation. I felt that its useless if its not smooth and lags alot so I add performance into the mix createing a profile that offers both while its first and foremost goal "battery performance" is still preserved and not diminish. This profile is yet unique and on a different level from my early release of "Icarus"
The contents are 3 profiles unique in their own way, "Daylight", "Daybreak" and "Experimental" along with a "Extra" folder containing wallpapers I created on our S4 for fun while testing . Kind of gives me some inspiration and sense of feel of what my objective is.
Daybreak is a crossbread profile of my Icarus Performance profile and Daylight. Its simply utilizing the performance power behind Icarus Performance profile while useing Daylight profile governor settings as its core to boost battery performance
The experimental profile is heavily undervolted/Underclocked with tweaked scheduler and governor. I taught if some of you could run it stable then it may produce great or mix results

What Lies Beneath
This is an extreme battery performance setup in which essentially transforms your quad-core device into a dual core device.
Why "What Lies Beneath"?
You'll find that during light to moderate operations the cpu remains at lower frequencies for an extended period of time and will only jump to max when needed. Although it's clocked at a max of 1.3ghz it maintains a surprisingly smooth and snappy feel to your device at such low frequencies. This is where battery life is also expected to come in to play as well.
Ktoonsified v4 (updated: 1~18~14)
This profile was put together by none other than the BOSS himself, @ktoonsez! This is a performance oriented option in which also offers a great deal of battery life. Haven't tried these settings yet? then what are you waiting for!! Load em up and be prepared for one of the smoothest and snappiest experiences ever!
Sleeping Dragon by @mamba720027 (updated: 12~23~13)
Sleeping Dragon V2.1 Single Core
This is a single core profile aimed at consumeing the least battery for a time when you will be away from home or at work and away from the charger. It was a profile i played with at first as i did not expect it to mount as much with apps and system UI needing a right amount of performance from a CPU to meet todays tasks in performance. In the end i was able to tame the dragon and make it work as best as possible to achieve its goal
Sleeping Dragon V1.2 Quad-Core
This is the counter part of Sleeping Dragon Single Core but with many tweaked parameters to make it a fully functional 4 Core base profile in hopes to achieve close or same battery performace as its single core entity. Unfortunately i still am not sure if it measures up but what i know from previous test with settings @Stock it hold its own in battery department. I am pleased with the results although i would wish to see some light usage results from users. I am pleased to present users with this 4 Core or Quadcore profile

Smooth Operator v3 by @mamba720027 (updated: 12~23~13)
This profile utalize all 4 cores on demand and serves as being a balance between battery and performance. Its as smooth as possible and utalize the full cpu power while operateing sensibly in governor scaleing.

Hydra
Eclipse and Kamikaze clash with one another in this hybrid profile (BIG thanks to @mamba720027 for the amazing work done on Kamikaze!). This is perfect for those who favor one or both of these profiles. With the merging of some of the essential performance and battery elements of each profile as well as a few minor adjustments, this one also stands as it's own profile and it flies!.
Notorious by @PiggySmalls502
This is a derivative of Feed The Machine. Hotplugging was turned back on and I/O scheduler was switched to ZEN along with a few other minor changes to the profile. It's aimed towards slightly better battery life but doesn't deviate too much from the performance aspect of things found in the original profile.
Ghost Rider by @galaxys3man30
this setup can benchmark on 1890,1944 and 1998 and its been really good on battery even thou its a performance setup think im going to call it ghost rider cuz its a sleeper yea it shows good battery life but behind that is the raw performance that is on demand when needed.

*Stardust v2* by @mamba720027 (updated: 12~7~13)
This Profile I put together is based on the "AbyssplugV2" governor.
Everything is tweaked and the profile can run by itself or either use the "smooth operator V2" Script or Luigi's "Hydra" Script.
Both are found in Post#8 of the OP. The choice is yours.

Infamous 1.0 by @PiggySmalls502
Infamous is a work of pure and utter boredom, and a desire to use the SLP governor. Profile uses very low CPU frequencies, yet still runs very smooth, while still seeing great battery life.

Crimson Dragon v2.1 by @mamba720027 (updated: 1~8~14)
This is a profile that i put together from a lost in the thread Dual Core profile "Lazy Dragon". What was suppose to be a V2 Update of it turned into a 4 Core profile and something totally new, Crimson Dragon. This profile is a variable of Performace and keeping things balance. Its very smooth on TW and produce great results on AOSP as well threw testing and feedback. Please enjoy this new addition :good:

3hands by @sew3521
This profile is a combination of my 3 favorite profiles; Ktoonsified v2, Project Icarus-Kamikaze, and Balanced Bull: Reloaded. Each of these 3 different profiles has great aspects however I thought I could combine them to make one super efficient profile and this is what I came up with. There is an extreme amount of undervolting going on here however my S4 runs extrmely stable (Sprint S4 purchased on release day) and thanks to the Balanced Bull and Ktoonsified portions of this the interface is very snappy.

Lateralus v2 by @CamFlawless (updated: 1~15~14)
This profile was designed in an attempt to strike a balance between battery and performance with a focus on conservative CPU scaling to maximize battery life while maintaining a smooth, fluid, and stable UI. I tested it with the Hydra script, but your personal favorite will work all the same.

Lightning Blade v2.2 by @mamba720027
This profile is aimed at performance and efficiently uses the 4 cores somewhat better than my first performance base profile.Â
Although it's aimed at performance it could conserve on battery as well because of the way cores are handled. If you play lots of games that require speed and processor power then this profile provides both.

Moonlight v2 by @Tunasty
This profile is based on Ktoonservateq and Mamba's Daylight profile. This profile is aimed towards battery and be able to use your phone without any lags. Performance has not been sacrificed either. Max Mhz is 1458 which works out pretty awesome. KT's AWESOMEEE kernel and Moonlight profile will make you fall in love with your phone

SRV v1 by @s3icc0
Basicaly it is ktoonsifiedv2 with few changes focused to battery life. It is well responsive and I have no problems playing games like RR3. + The frequencies are more stock, but it is possible to go down with max frequency to 1680MHz e.g. I have been playing with the treshholds to let the phone stay on higher frequencies and to get there faster and of course it will scale down later but faster ...

Couldn't agree more. Excellent work and looks great!
Excellent effort to keep us kernelizers informed on critical information regarding the operation off our S3s. The comments that will follow apply only to 4.1.2 and 4.1.1 users.
I've been using smart phones since 1997 when the now extinct Palm smart phones arrived. Obviously they got greedy and stupid and lost their smart phone turf and their company to others (Apple, Android, etc.). So, although I am not a programmer nor developer I've been tinkering with these phones for a while.
I began using KT47 back in September and I have been extremely impressed with all the work that ktoonsez and his comprades have done to give users not only configuration options but a better phone experience. Gracias, mis amigos.
Now, I believe in the scientific method and I've been testing every single update since October. I've also tested just about every kernel setting that had been posted by many awesome contributors, such as cattle bravo, luis, gman and many more.
And here's the reflection that I want to share with you. The kernel updates have become more robust and stable with time, but something has happened with its battery life. Despite the settings and features available now, I can't get the same battery life on my S3 that I was getting with the earlier versions. To be more precise, the 11 nov kernel consistently gives me close to 24 hours of battery life with my usage style. I'll post a photo shortly to prove my point.
So, what am I trying to say? Well, I believe we're shifted our priorities and now we as a community are focused more on configuration and options rather than basic performance. Maybe the kernel with the least options (i.e. 11 nov) can provide us a better experience than the more current ones.
I think we need to continue developing, but need to capture or identify those kernels that have unique features.
ROM selection is another topic that I would like to discuss, It is important because different ROMs perform differently with our kernel. Identifying the better performing ROMs would certainty assist us.
Apologize for the long posting, but I just needed to share this with you.

Get a new battery $10 says that's half of your problem.
Yes, more kernel modding will generally lead to more performance and less battery life... But unless there is a problem with the kernel, the lifespan with a significant amount of time in deep sleep should be about the same.
Screen on time will change due to overclocking, screen brightness (the most draining part of the phone), and CPU usage.
I do think that a more basic kernel that is closer to stock is the way to go. There is a reason the stock kernel isn't on the bleeding edge of the Linux kernel... Stability over speed.

Definitely weird. My battery has been pretty much the same like mw said. And then shen I cam out with the Screen OFF profiles and adding the "sampling_rate_screen_off" to ktoonservative it went up even more. I does almost seem like a battery aging issue but I think as you infered you go back to the really old stuff just recently and get better battery. Wish I had a concrete answer for u buddy.
mw86,
First of all, I acknowledge you as one of our top developers, so your opinion weighs pretty high on my book. But I have to tell you, battery life does indeed fluctuate for many reasons. Point and case: I removed the. 11 nov kernel and installed last night the April 11 kernel, which was the last kernel released for 4.1.1. Went to bed with 65% and woke up with less than 20 percent. Same ktweaker setting file; nothing else was changed except the kernel. I used the kernel removal tools before swapping kernels. So, statistically speaking, there are no other variables on this equation. The 11 nov kernel burns about 12% of battery life overnight; the 4-11 ate 45%.
Again, you're the expert, but all I'm doing is experimenting and taking notes. I upgraded my ROM to 4.1.2 (MOAR) and battery life was even worse.
I honestly believe that the simplicity of the earlier kernels does help battery life. And for the record, I own Six batteries with two chargers. So I am not concerned with battery life as much as folks that have only their one stock battery. I've gone through 5 S3s for various reasons (bad screen, overheat, sudden death, and fried GPS chip).
The bottom line is that us users are very fortunate to have such a robust team of developers, to include you. The conversations among us have always remained professional, unlike other forums. So I'm honored to be part of this all.
