Our goal : battery life, performance and optimization
Introduction
Every smartphone's user has the same problem. The battery life and the reactivity of the system. Our kernel based on the great Ktoonsez offer today probably the best compromise between these two points. So... enjoy it ! :highfive:
:good: Not anymore with Efficient Kernel 2.1.1 and our efficientdemand governor :good:
With the efficientdemand governor, our kernel is optimized and preconfigured for the best balance of battery life and performance.
We suggest you to use the efficientdemand governor for the best experience ! If you use the KTweaker APP with this kernel, we suggest you to download our settings because some little improvements can be made with this APP.
You don't use KTWeaker APP ? Don't worry, our kernel is preconfigured to give you the best battery life and performance.

A new kernel is always welcome.
Many thx for this, gonna try it as soon as i got home. :thumbup:
Yay new kernel i will give it a try asap i want to ask how much impact in % has the S version of the kernel instead of the normal one
Update: i just flashed and all works perfect ,can you help me find ktweaker app plz ?

Thanks for this kernel !
Testing since this morning, no problem so far : stable and fast, no battery isue.
Coming from KT & AluCard kernels, it's hard to see the different now, maybe in few days ...
looks interesting alternative to ktoonsez - will surely keep an eye on this - thanks for building for us
This ROM has excellent battery life! Only problem is, the music lag when screen is off. Please look into this!

I guess you meant Kernel instead of Rom?
But yes, the battery life is really nice. I use it with the settings in the opening post, just slightly modified. You could try to raise screen off mhz to 810 mhz, that could help to avoid the lag.
Until now, the battery life isn't better or worse than I had with Ktoonsez Kernel, but its running smooth and without any lags. I'm happy. :angel:
Always like to try a new kernel to see what type of battery life I get. I am going to give it a try now, thanks.
Was curious and tried s version with cm11. Was smooth but alarm does not wake up phone and I also woke up too late. Timer seems not to wake up phone either.
I had issues with playing music. Was interrupting the music often

I changed the default "efficient" profile to my needs using the KTweaker app.
Look at youre "screen off MHz" settings. Mine is set to 486, think default is 128, that's too low for my needs. Furthermore are you UV? If so don't go too low.

Ok . I didnt change anything on it except that i change to efficentdemand as recommended . Dont have a big idea with the Settings. Will play around a bit.

I think you only need to change screen off MHz and disable_hotplugging_media as said and leave the voltages as they are, they are stock.
Use KTweaker to load the provided efficient profile in OP and make the changes.
See how it goes..

Instructions for switching to F2FS
/!\ WARNING: This operation will wipe all your data as well as your internal storage /!\
Download an F2FS version of Pimped Kernel
Flash it in recovery
Reboot recovery, you should now be in the included modified CWM
Go to 'mounts & storage' and select 'format /data and /data/media (/sdcard)'
Go to 'mounts & storage' and select 'format /cache'
Reboot & Enjoy
Why using F2FS?
I recently compared ext4 & f2fs in a series of benchmarks, and F2FS clearly provides better performance than ext4.
You can read the full comparision & benchmark results here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2697069
Please note that f2fs might be more prone to data corruption or otherwise be less stable, although I have not encountered any issue at the moment.
Great, flashed it. Works like last one, but still can't disable MP-decision
And can't CPU OC yet.
I don't know if Honami control will fix these issues.
Thanks, great anyway!
Subscribed. Cannot wait for this to be an awesome "pimped" kernel for CM11.
Will you have a flashable zip?
I fastboot flashed the boot.img, however no more root / superuser.
Update: flashed supersu zip - now have root.
Kernel is working fine, however getting random soft reboots every now and then.
FIOPS / 2048 readahead / Intellidemand / ECO on / intelliplug on / mpdecision off
min 300 / max 1267200 / multicore power saving 1
Thank you for your hard work, @Androguide.fr , you are making awesome things.
Testing the kernel now.
[OT Mode ON]
Also, a little bit OT, but.. does omnirom support theme chooser?
[OT Mode OFF]
Is there any possibility of including gamma control like as in Xperia Z??
Could you add pegasusq governor?

I will look into it but I don't think I'm a good enough kernel dev to do the port, if DooMLoRD ports it to DoomKernel then I will probably merge it.

If you have a link to its implementation on an other msm8974 device's kernel, please send it to me and I'll take a look.
InteractiveX2, SmartassV2 & Lagfree are merged but not enabled as they cause build errors when enabled in defconfig , I will try and fix those when I got time.
Same for the VR I/O Scheduler, it's merged but not enabled in defconfig atm.
Nice, there has been an avalanche of commits merged on the CM kernel, apparently related to the remaining camera & hardware overlays bugs, I merged those and I'm building right now.
EDIT: here's a link for the flashaholics, this one has the Omni boot logo as I'm at work and I forgot to commit the Pimped Kernel boot logo, but otherwise it's the same kernel with the new CM commits included.
I'll rebuild it tonight with the correct bootlogo and version name.

@Androguide.fr there is a problem with your kernel, I get strange random reboots and sleep of death...
I tried to set governor to interactive, but no luck at all...

I won't be able to help unless you provide me with more infos such as which rom you're running and a logcat of you trying to set the governor for example.
A kmsg of the random reboots would be nice, too.

I won't be able to help unless you provide me with more infos such as which rom you're running and a logcat of you trying to set the governor for example.
A kmsg of the random reboots would be nice, too.

Ok, today i will switch to aosb and then if it happens i will provide logcat an kmsg... Any app to use for that? (Apart of echo from terminal?)

Nice...wow...cool!
I am running this kernel on the new cm11 4.4.2 rom AOSB. Without problems. Now I can run my *.flac Music whith more GAIN...YEAH!
Only thing is that for example Bard´s Tale wont save the data to sd-card. Can it be solved with the kernel? I just heard in the AOSB thread its a Android 4.4 related problem. In this moment I am saving my sd-data and try to partitioning it. Or maybe this is useless? Can I get the apps to save to sd-card with this kernel maybe?

For the logcat you can use the "Catlog" app.
For the kmsg I don't think there are any apps, you'll need to use adb or the terminal:
Code:
cat /proc/kmsg > /sdcard/kernel-message.txt
or, after a random reboot to get the kmsg from before the reboot:
Code:
cat /proc/last_kmsg > /sdcard/last-kernel-message.txt

Did you have this issue with the CM kernel or the previous kernel you were running ?
If you didn't then it's probably due to the mass storage support for sdcard commits included in the ramdisk, it might not be compatible with other roms.
I will rebuild the kernel with the stock CM ramdisk tonight.

Was on stock rom before (Monx´s Rom for Z1 and DooM´s Kernel), no problem at all. Since I´ve flashed AOSB yesterday, with stock cm-kernel or this one, I have this problem.
~~~~~~~~~~~~EDIT~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Didn´t had success with partitioning sd-card in any way. Neither with Win7 Software or TWRP. Bad thing. Is there any patch or workaround for Android 4.4 ?

FAQ
FAQ
This kernel does not have X, Y or Z feature. Please add it !
No such requests shall be entertained.
For this device the closer to stock we are, the better it is. Hence no need for "fancy" useless features/tweaks. The main aim of halogen is to bring performance without compromising stability & battery. And that is what I intend to do.
AND if you really want this or that feature which is not there in halogen, please feel free to compile your own builds.
Oh no ! I encountered a BUG !
Upload the file named last_kmsg that located in /proc/last_kmsg. It contains kernel logs. Clearly state the bug / what you experienced along with your current kernel settings. Bug reports without logs will be ignored.
Recommneded settings ?
Halogen is pre-configured for best. For custom settings please google, do some research and you are encouraged to post your own settings in this forum. You can start here.
My battery drained overnight !! Look at these screenshots...
Not a halogen fault. The kernel does not “drain” battery. On Android devices, the kernel provides a mechanism for keeping the phone awake, called a wakelock. Processes running on the device (e.g. apps and services) can ask the kernel for a wakelock, and the kernel will oblige. So yes, the kernel is technically keeping the phone awake, but only because an app or service has asked it to. It is these apps and services that are misbehaving and causing drain, not the kernel. Doze mode, introduced in Android Marshmallow, is designed to limit the time that apps and services can wake up the device.
All thanks to @flar2 for his excellent post.
Wow,
What is better setting for this Kernel ?

There is not much to set in this kernel at present. Leave it as it is. Tweak sound to your hearts desire !
What governors & I/O schedulers are already included? Just the "basic" AOSP kernel ones for now?
Yes...
But updates will come soon !!!
You simply did it! Thank you so much!
There is a long way to go but I hope you can add more stuff, not forgetting the DoupleTap to wake up the screen
Testing
NEW BUILD IS UP !!!
[ 12 June, 2015. Version --> R2 ]
New features added :-
** 14 new cpu govs added !!!(check changelog for their names) **
** New I/O schedulers added (added tripndroid) **
** New TCP Congestions added **
** Stereo call recording **
and MUCH, much more......................CHECK CHANGELOG.
Did you know ? :-
With the release of R2, Halogen Kernel becomes the ONLY kernel with maximum number of cpu govs !!! (among all kernels for stock/cm of titan/falcon).
This kernel has around 20 cpu govs !!!
NOTE :-
Try reading this guide by @gsstudios before selecting out among the many CPU Govs.

there is something terribly wrong... at boot maximum cpu frequency is set to 384MHz, this give terribly long boot time, stuttery bootanimation and longer time for apps optimization after a rom update
EDIT: temporarily solved with an init.d script, here it is if someone has the same problem https://www.dropbox.com/s/qmcdlljjj0klzaf/cpufreq.zip?dl=0

Even I had been facing the bug...BUT I fixed it out and the BUG IS NO MORE !!!
I will be soon releasing the update ! The problem was with some improperly adapted CPU governors which limited the max cpu freq to 384 at boot. I have removed them and now the cpu clocks @ 11190 during boot.
I appreciate your work with the script. Its good, and I hope you will keep supporting my kernel in the future.

Available RAM is less than stock CM12.1 kernel - ~900 MB vs ~860 MB. Pretty sure you're already aware of it, but thought I'd highlight it anyway just in case.
Sent from my Moto G 2014 using Tapatalk
Is the kernel stable? i'm using cm12.1 for daily use and some of the kernels i've tried always gave me the problem where the logcat is spammed with something liek "failed to acquire lock" everytime i touched the screen, can someone report?

Yes I m aware... It will be improved in future versions.
However it does not matter much, Linux handles memory in a different way and will release appropriate ram when required. What really matters is whether you are getting a smooth experience or not.

Yes, there are changes in that. As the OP said, it depends on the kernel. Since our device has 1024MB RAM, the remaining RAM gets allocated to Graphics, audio processing, etc. If you are familiar with it, its very similar to Intel & AMD's allocation of RAM to Graphic memory in computers.

If u use zzmove governor disable all the hotplugs coz it use its own hotplug as anyone knows.
[Q]How i select profile from kernel tweaker app?
[A]You need to go in governor tunable-profile number and select the number of the profile from the list.
Zzmove profiles
1 ) Default -> will set governor defaults
2 )ybat -> Yank Battery -> a very good battery/performance balanced setting - DEV-NOTE: highly recommended!
3 )ybatext-> Yank Battery Extreme -> like yank battery but focus on battery saving
4 )zzbat-> ZaneZam Battery -> a more 'harsh' setting strictly focused on battery saving - DEV-NOTE: might give some lags!
5 )zzbatp -> ZaneZam Battery Plus -> NEW! reworked faster battery setting - DEV-NOTE: recommended too!
6 )zzopt -> ZaneZam Optimized -> balanced setting with no focus in any direction - DEV-NOTE: relict from back in the days, even though some people still like it!
7 )zzmod -> ZaneZam Moderate -> NEW! setting based on 'zzopt' which has mainly (but not strictly only!) 2 cores online
8 )zzperf -> ZaneZam Performance -> all you can get from zzmoove in terms of performance but still has the fast - down scaling/hotplugging behaving
9 )zzinz-> ZaneZam InZane -> NEW! based on performance with new insane scaling active. a new experience!
10 )zzgame-> ZaneZam Gaming -> NEW! based on performance with scaling block enabled to avoid cpu overheating during gameplay

Hello, Merry Christmas, I installed this kernel but do not work 2 things:
1- installed the kernel, but when I open Synapse tells me: NO UCI DETECT
2-UKM installed 3.8.1, but the audio portion can not be configured, even if imposed different or custom profiles, the values remain the same, and the sound remains very low.
I apologize for my English, but I'm using a translator !!!

If I do not install UKM not start me Synapse. I mount the NuclearRom 7.1.1 Version 1.2.0 BETA
The audio is very low and you can not configure it nessn so ... I tried to install Faux Sound Control ... But it does not change anything!

Frequently asked questions
Q: Will this conflict with any mod I'm using?
A: As long as it doesn't have any entropy related stuff, its okay. Since the kernel already comes with an inbuilt entropy generator, it will conflict with the ones from mod, causing a poor, stuttered performance!
Q: Deep Sleep isnt working for me, Google Services causing wake-locks, what to do?
A: Go to settings, Privacy, Privacy Guard, All apps, long press Google Services, and deny/disable wake-locks! (Thanks to @Paget96 for the solution)
Q: Which version should I flash?
A: Flash kernel with toolchain that you prefer.
Q: What is the difference between the UBERTC, Linaro, SaberMod and Google toolchain? Which one is the best?
A: It's a good read on the toolchain UBERTC you are wanting to know more about it, this for Linaro, this for SaberMod and this for Google.
Q: What is the difference between the HMP and Miui kernel?
A: Miui folder is for miui roms -> xiaomi.eu, MiuiBR and other derivatives from miui official. HMP folder is for aosp rom and derivatives -> Aosp, Lineage and other derivatives from aosp
Q: Is your kernel secure?
A: You MAY face some issues, but it's safe! My cell phone has not exploded yet.
Q: WiFi doesnt work for me.
A: Reflash ROM and Kernel.
Q: All variants of the Xiaomi Mi5 have the same CPU and GPU clock?
A: Yeeh.
Q: I have problems with the sound control of the speaker and microphone
A: Yeeh, I have too, bugs today, bugs tomorrow, bugs forever.
Q: What application can I use to configure the kernel?
A: Use Spectrum, and if you have enough knowledge of what to modify or do in the application use together Kernel Adiutor.
Q: Can I use the kernel source in my ROM?
A: If you want to use my kernel in your ROM, just put my name in the credit, just like I did.
Q: Does your kernel support writing to the NTFS file system?
A: Yeeh, you can use flash drives and HD with NTFS via OTG.
Q: My cpu clock is locked in 1190Mhz with any governor.
A: Just disable the thermal control in the kernel temperature settings.
Q: I have problems with your kernel.
A: Take a logcat and kmesg, this website and this video should help you
Q: Why does my magisk and root disappear after installing your kernel?
A: The kernel script makes changes that directly interfere with both, reinstall the magisk that it will function normally, follow this installation line always: FloppyKernel -> Magisk -> Reboot system.
Q: Does your kernel support Miui ROM?
A: Yes, support was added in "RC1.1".
Q: What is the "Battery" profile in the spectrum?
A: Based on Project Zhana & X.A.N.A was made for trying to be as efficient as possible without compromising the performance. Thanks to the discovery on Voltages used by our SD820 I could make a profile that utilizes more the BIG cluster. My first attempt was to move ALL the load to the BIG cluster, it was against anything that I have learned about little. BIG CPU but I tried, it turned really good at first, low usage was just amazing... But on more usage things didn't go that good. So what I did it was to give a twist to things, but not such twist. It kind of works like Nameless and Shotgun, Mostafa Wael and I worked the same idea. #LITTLE cluster will be running on low-mid frequencies but delivers full performance when is needed. # BIG Cluster will help LITTLE ease Load, but in a great way than before. Things can be done faster and more efficient giving us profit in form of battery. It should run smooth on all scenarios, but you guys tell me. You can easily get around 7~9 hours SOT for 24 hours even more If you don't play game. This will, of course, may vary, but it will definitely be better.
Q: What is the "Balanced" profile in the spectrum?
A: Based on GhostPepper was made to uses a quantized, frequency-aligned parametric curve to influence low core clock rates while providing extremely smooth transitions from each clock rate and exceptional battery life. Really well-defined clock speed escalation for a good battery and performance.
Q: What is the "Performance" profile in the spectrum?
A: Based on FusionP this profile brings a more "agressive" way to scale frequencies. It will scale frequencies sooner(regarding load values from cpu) and will use more the big cluster to provide more performance doing the tasks on hands. Battery should not take a big hit but using heavy demanding tasks you can expect a higher drain.
Q: What is the "Gaming" profile in the spectrum?
A: Based on Burnout PR5, this profile's main goal is to provide absolute maximum performance when needed, but lies low quite well. You see, some times I see the CPU hitting some of the high freqs of 1190 while making something as simple as watching YouTube or playing some spotify tracks needlessly, and sometimes I feel it is a bit slower than it should be in things like brute multitasking. Most profiles do aim at bringing a mid-ground to rest on. But with the sensible words of one of my favourite idols Jeremy Clarkson, he says 'Power solves everything' and right he is. By eliminating the mid freqs of the Little cluster and efficiently using some specific frequency steps, you get some power savings by staying on lower freqs as much as possible, and even on brutal tasks you get the job done faster as well, since the CPU will give you all the power to finish the job as fast as it can, and hit back to idle faster.
Q: I want more information about your spectrum profiles.
A: Read this thread.
Q: I want more information about governors, I/O Scheduler, Hotplug, TCP Algorithms and other things.
A: Read this thread.

It seems a very nice kernel, big up for the dev, Im hoping that this kernel will be updated for Oreo?

I'm just waiting for the Oreo ROMs become more stable
Im following you from your L7 development times. And i have l7 and mi5. Now im using jdc oreo but i will install LOS for try your work. I hope you will continue your work for oreo.
Wich is better, Linaro Or UBERTC?
What's the difference between linaro and ubertc?
hi.. I'm was installed Linero version for my Mi5pro. i have questions.
- why my model phone goes to Samsung Galaxy Note 7.
- my magisk root gone, after intalled these kernel version.
Thanks.

First question: idk, my model phone is normal, Mi5, try install boot.img and after kernel, are you using any modifications ?
Second question: normal, after install kernel magisk gone, you have to install again, because in the installation it is lost
Good to see new kernel ?? will flash and try
miui support ?
Linaro or UBERTC?
I use the version with Linaro and I am very satisfied, I recommend that you test both versions and see which one is best for you

Here
i'm use u'r kernel since this thread open.
I use ubertc version, it's very smooth.. but sometimes my device freeze, but no problem at all coz the true culprit is magisk magic charging module..
but just now im trying linaro build.. i hope no problem like ubertc build..
Im suggesting fast charging module bro like dragonxia 3.8 OC..
Don't work with Miui rom ?
