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.
Kernel 025 Open Beta 1 is out! (BETAs ARE ALWAYS ULTIMATE + SMARTREFLEX VERSION unless I stated otherwise)
JB ==> http://faux.androidro.ms/tuna/beta/tuna-jb-kernel-025b01.zip

My version of OnDemand is not the normal OnDemand. It has a two-phase energy saving patch applied to it. It alternates between Max freq and 900 MHz to save battery. The performance for everyday use should be very smooth but benchmark may not reflect the actual experience. If you want high benchmark, I suggest Interactive or Performance.

Could you explain this? Why will it clock higher if a limit is set and what's the difference if the limit was set to 1.2 GHz?
On the overclocked Gingerbread Kernel at 1,2 Ghz the phone got very hot while I played games, I wonder how it would be on 1,32 Ghz :silly:

On the stock ICS kernel and SetCPU I noticed the clock is always higher even when a limit is set
I noticed this too. I just gave up on it. Plus, my phone gets to about 125°F at 1.0ghz playing games. 1.32ghz would be way too hot for me.

That is something to consider .. i actually never tested it with games (only general usage and music) i might have to remove the 1.32 setting ....
At the most I think 1.1ghz is the most you could do without potential overheating.

Crossing my fingers for eventual voodoo support.
I think undervolting would be a good option to have. May also help with the overheating. Back on GB I used an OC'd kernel (1.3Ghz) and undervolted it 75mv's on each step, even on the highest frequencies! This should produce less heat and provide battery life

It as soon as you touch the screen the min will jump to 700mhz by default ... I assume this is to reduce lag ... u can also not set max to below 700mhz presumably for the same reason ..... currently this kernel is set up to set the governor to interactive @1.2ghz at boot ... if u want to change that u will need to check "set at boot" in ur cpu control app ... now if ur talking about the smartassV2 govenor ... from my testing id say its designed to keep the speed at the max setting u set and then increase as needed... which is why u should set it as low as possible ... hope this helps --clarification-- the "max" in SmartassV2 is not considered to be the "max" but the "ideal" frequency
Sent from my SGH-I927 using xda app-developers app
I see, that explains it, thank you. What governors respect the max setting as apsolute max?

added my voltage table
I'll give those settings a try, though I still had my old settings saved. Basically they're -75mV from default, with the lower half of the frequencies set at -100mV from default. Those were stable under GB, so perhaps ICS too! Undervolting it all -100mV gave me random reboots.
Testing it all now, will let you know how I like it after a few days of use!
Please don't remove the 1.32ghz if it gets hot thats what voltage control is for and if you install system tuner it reapplys all CPU clock settings back after screen off/on and reboot/shutdown.
I will test it out asap. Gotta back up pics of my new born daughter and still at the hospital, but I got my laptop and can backup quick and test
Also..
System tuner support for kernel would be epic so I can edit my sysctl settings and your my new hero!

A question, which app do you use to undervolt it? I'm using voltage control and it says it can't detect the voltages for most of the frequencies. And voltage control only works through setting negative values relative to the defaults rather than the actual voltage you want to use. If I want to test your settings I'll need an app that will just let me set the voltages in an absolute way.
I use system tuner and it allows me to adjust both in one simple locaton

Hi and welcome to fancy kernel. My name is Boy Petersen and I'm building this kernel with the following three main goals: good battery life, reliability and a smooth and snappy user experience.
Feature list:
Based upon:
latest AOSP/CM11 kernel source
selected Cyanogenmod patches
Latest Linux 3.0 version (3.0.101)
selected patches from the device's chipset vendor Texas Instruments
selected patches from Google
selected backport-patches from Linux 3.4
CPU:
CPU frequencies: 224, 384, 537, 729, 1036, 1228, 1344, 1420, 1536 MHz (default on boot: 224 - 1228)
control to set a minimum CPU frequency for screen-on (default: 384 MHz)
Will help with smoothness and responsiveness when you use the phone. When screen is off, however, 224 MHz frequency is used as well.
CPU governors: ondemandplus (more info), interactive (default), ondemand, powersave, performance
ondemandplus is an ondemand- and interactive-based governor that has additional power-saving capabilities while maintaining very snappy performance.
ARM CPU topology: multi-core scheduling (enabled by default; saves battery by scheduling load among the CPU cores; more info)
temperature control
GPU & Display:
GPU frequency control: 307, 384 (default), 512 MHz
color, contrast and gamma contols
sane and natural looking color settings
I/O & memory:
F2FS support
ASRAM memory reclaim, giving you 744mb available RAM with a fully functional device
I/O schedulers: SIOplus (default), deadline, noop, row, bfqv5, cfq
updated HSMMC & OMAP4 NAND drivers (improve disk performance)
tuned LPDDR RAM timings (+10% throughput; more info)
optimized ext4 mountings
Android 3.4 low memory killer
ultra kernel samepage merging (UKSM; enabled by default)
fsync toggle
zRAM from 3.7 kernel (with fast LZ4 compression)
improved memory handling routines (memset, memzero, ...)
switch to disable the MMC CRC checking (more info)
Network:
TCP congestion control algorithms: westwood (default), cubic, reno
DTIM skip override (what it is and how it works)
Misc:
custom voltage control
timer slack feature (what does it do?)
fast charge
vibration strength control
sound control (high performance sound, volume boost)
battery life extender (BLX)
various performance and battery life tweaks
init.d support (no matter if the ROM supports it or not)
elevated systemui priority
module support (for slide2wake / PGM, e.g.)
more things... go check the source if you're interested.
compiled with Google GCC 4.7 toolchain (from Android NDK r9)
optional anykernel2 package by osm0sis for Android 4.3 and 4.2 compatibilty

Chit-chat:
What ROM / computer OS am I running?
People ask me this sometimes. On my Galaxy Nexus, I'm running Cyanogenmod 11 Nightlies and obviously Fancy Kernel. On my home PC (my Android build environment), I'm running Ubuntu 13.10.
Why did I name it 'fancy kernel'?
Because I do not want to use some random fancy name, but somehow have to give the kernel a name that is easily remembered. So after some self-irony involvement, I picked this ****ty name :>
What is so special about this kernel?
It offers superb battery life with a smooth and stable user experience. I am aware that all kernels claim that. Just try, see for yourself and report back. Innovations of this kernel are e.g. the screen-on min frequency setting, the ondemandplus governor and the SIOplus scheduler, since I implemented them myself. Also, I wanted many other improvements that exist across the several great kernels around XDA. After all, this kernel is based on other people's work for like 95 percent (like most kernels are).
Why did I build this Kernel initially?
Well that's rather easily answered. I used to use Franco kernel (which I really liked), but I wanted a kernel for myself which fits exactly to my needs. In particular, I especially wanted working hotplug, GPU OC controls, the option to set a minimum screen-on frequency and several hardcoded settings.
Oh, and yes: I built the kernel because I had fun doing so. But be not mistaken that I am a 'playaround kid': I dislike pulling in every little mod someone made. What I want is stability.
After some time I realized hotplugging would not be stable. After that I wrote the ondemandplus governor to save battery.
Why did I release it if I built it for myself?
I did not plan to release it at first. But I decided to release it since there was this one new feature (as named before: the screen-on min frequency control). I thought 'maybe it can contribute to others as well.' Also, maybe people like my compilation. Sharing is caring :>

I usually stick with a couple certain kernels, because every time I try one outside of my 'safe' kernels, they don't play nice with my device.
I've decided to give this kernel a chance, mainly because it's new and I have the day off to test it out.

Running it now at 192/1420 with 537 as max screen off. Pegasusq and bfq. GPU = 384 and SR remains on.
Can't tell how battery life is, as I just installed it. Charging phone back to 100 right now.
It is very smooth and responsive from what I've done so far though. Going to keep with this kernel for a couple days, see how it compares to my fall back, LeanKernel + Tweaks. So far, so good though.
Re: [KERNEL][4.2] Fancy Kernel (Rel. #1) (JAN-24-2013)
anybody test NFS17 game on this kernel?
Re: [KERNEL][4.2] Fancy Kernel (Rel. #1) (JAN-24-2013)
Wow, sound great
So, Can i flash it over stock 4.2.1 ?

As long as you are rooted, I don't see why you wouldn't be able to. I'm pretty sure being rooted is all you need to flash a kernel.
Re: [KERNEL][4.2] Fancy Kernel (Rel. #1) (JAN-24-2013)
great kernel ！

I'll give it a try but won't stick with it until an Stable release of CM10.1 is available, because I'm updating at every 3 nightlies and this kernel with an stable release of CM10.1 should be a monster. (and obviously I don't want to reflash it every new nightly.)
I liked it! I hope for further development of this kernel! Good luck! :good:

Hy
I want to try this new kernel,
But i dont see volume boost in the features list, it's just missing in changelog, or no volume boost inside ?
Thanks

Overclocked CPU or GPU? If yes, I need to increase voltages.
Hello everyone. Before present anything about this kernel, first I must clarify that I'm not a kernel developer but I'm trying to learn all kernel stuff and knowledge during my free time and finally YEAH, I'M DID IT!
So I'm here proudly introduce my Skull Kernel for JellyBean which fully tested on CM10/CM10.1 by arco68. :fingers-crossed:

There are two kernel version in this thread. One for CM10, another one for CM10.1.
Upon flashing, you should know what you are doing and responsible
for anything bad happen. e.g. Hard brick, soft brick, etc.
But don't worry, I'm the one always getting kernel tested before released,
So I should get hurt first if something goes wrong. :angel:

Depend on you guys, if all need OC support I will implemented on next version.
It's already UV now
It's always great to see new custom kernels. I'd probably try this one out in its future releases as I'd like to see more changes and improvements.
P.S: The name of your kernel needs to be revised in my opinion.

Re: [Kernel][CM10][3.0.66] Skull Kernel v1.1 - 'Balance Performance & Battery Life'
If i'm not wrong it's using different title before, :what:
haha skull seems legit.
Then you should change the bootscreen with skull.
Can you add lulzactive and smartassv2 too?
Tried your kernel, gaming performance was smoother. Thanks

Sucks to know bro. These chipsets are funny.
For those that can run 2.96GHz that was the only bug so far. Those that can't run it at all, that's something we'll look into and see if we can resolve. Some just can't male it there unfortunately.

Edit to what i previously posted i guess it only happens as soon as i set the voltage to 1.2V otherwise its fine in-till benchmarking which means it just cant handle staying at those high speeds on all cores i assume?

yeah but the voltage is a problem too! that could be a factor that some phones cpu isn't as good. try setting your voltage to 1.2V for 3GHz and see if it crashes.

What governor were you using? Amd youre on 9005 right?
I gotta figure out why some 9005 users are seeing battery drain. I'll check it out today.
Ok, here is what I have figured out. At least with my hardware anyway. I'm using the latest version of TricksterMod and this is what I can get. I can boot up @ 3ghz with my voltage at 1.2 ONLY if I set it manually to exactly that. 1.2. If I use the incremental voltage steps it puts me at 1215. No go. It locks up and reboots. But if I manually set it to 1.2 even, it boots, and I can run Quadrant to benchmark. I have been able to successfully apply all governers with a 2.956 clock and use 2 schedulers (row and zen, so far) Seems like anything over 1.2 volts and the max clock, it locks up and reboots. Being as though no two chips are the same, somebody may get a higher voltage/clock before lock up. Who knows. Anyway, it runs great so far. Haven't had a chance to test battery life. Will post that later. I upoaded a few screenshots of my benchmarks running these freqs/voltages. So far, great work guys! This can only get better from here :good:

Welcome to MajesticKERNEL by Blackburn29
This is my first time developing a kernel for a mobile device. As a power user myself, I aim to give the best battery life possible and give users the ability to tweak the kernel to their heart's desire. Not to mention, some phones are picky! So it might take a little tweaking to find the sweet spot! (I personally use Trickster Mod to adjust my kernel settings!)
This kernel is compiled using the LATEST linaro toolchain with -O3 optimizations and device specific tunables.
Here is a screenshot of my battery stats on MK_1.0.4:
Battery drain of ~2%/hr
A list of just a FEW of the available features are:
Slight overclocking up to 1.62GHz
Underclocking to 54MHz
Voltage Control
Built-In Hotplugging interface (Used over MP-Decision)
9 different schedulers to choose from
13 optimized governors to choose from
Ability to disable cores via a sysfs interface
Simple GPU Governor
VFP Optimizations
GPU Overclock to 480MHz
Always UPSTREAM of CM
Fastcharge
Latest Touchscreen Firmware
Cooled OLED Colors
FauxSound
MSM_SLEEPER interface (Max screen off freq control)
Fading LED from DecimalMan

How to Flash:
Boot into recovery
Flash the "MajesticKernelvX.X.X.zip" file
Wipe Cache/Dalvik
Fix Permissions
Reboot and Enjoy!
Note: I HIGHLY recommend doing 2 FULL charge cycles after a kernel flash when you wipe the caches. (Ex: 100%-0% uninterrupted, 2 times. I usually run a benchmark for the last ~15% to drain it down to 0.) This will allow android to generate accurate battery statistics for your device. (Google Glass recommends this on the official forums, and I notice a fairly large difference on both my Glass and my phone when doing it)

This looks great, but I just flashed it over the latest Carbon nightly and I get stuck at the kernel boot logo. I had to do a battery pull and flash another kernel in order to boot again.

Well unfortunately 1.0.5 will not flash for me. Status 7. Going to try and redownload and flash again.
As for 1.0.4, it pegged my minimum at 900 and i couldn't lower it. tried on multple ROMS.

It flashed for me, BUT I get FC's on ANY app that is Google dependent. Email also FC's. This kernel is a no-go for now. I appreciate the efforts from the dev.
I would suggest switching the BFQ you're using. It's not built for our kernel version! As well as a few other things. I'll PM you some suggestions.
Is this kernel for all D2 variants or just the ATT family?

The kernel actually has BFQ v5r1... Sorry for the misunderstanding in the commits on git! But also thanks Pwn for the help, I really appreciate it

I had this issue too. He's using an older update binary. Philz cwm had an option to allow older binaries.

I will look into updating this. Thanks. I was unaware since it flashes fine in TWRP
