Introduction/About
This kernel is born because of me not satisfy with stock kernel, horrible heat management, some things doesn't works like firewall, vpn is buggy etc... But not meant to be stable as the stock kernel, just to hack things up
Should boot with all roms based on android 4.1.2, be it stock rom, stock based custom rom, lewa, baidu, aosp, cm10 etc as long as its 4.1.2 based roms.

Features:
Based on dhacker29's nokia x kernel, branch jellybean. He already patched it from original 3.4.0 to upstream 3.4.86 and many other fix/patch.
Things that i've added:
Further patched to upstream. Currently on 3.4.106.
Applied fix to compile with linaro toolchain, and i've compiled with custom linaro 4.9.3 2014.11 for generic arm processor by christopher83.
Modified cpu table, added more cpu frequencies; 122mhz, 700mhz, 806mhz and 902mhz.
Modified ion reserve value in boardconfig for higher userspace ram, now got 410mb same as stock 1.1.2.2 kernel.
Compiled with arm cortex-a5, neon, graphite and link time optimization flags.
Compiled with cpu supported unalign acccess. Supposedly to be faster than software based unalign access.
All cpu frequencies undervolted 50mv.
Disabled mpdecision service by default. mpdecision is qualcomm's userspace proprietary cpu hotplug control. Its closed source so no easy way to tweak it as u like or prefer, what u see is what u get.
Added Hotplug cpu governor for replacing the disabled mpdecision.
Added exFAT (Extended File Allocation Table) driver. exFAT is a Microsoft file system optimized for flash drives.
Added F2FS (Flash-Friendly File System) driver. F2FS is a flash file system initially developed by Samsung Electronics for the Linux operating system kernel.
Added and made fiops as default booting disk io scheduler. Use Trickster MOD to change it and change its parameter yourself.
Using slub memory allocator.
Optimized AES and SHA1 routines for ARM cpu architecture.
Optimized ARM RWSEM (read/write semaphore) algorithm.
Added Force Fastcharge. This feature allows force AC charging for any charger that is detected as USB (eg. PC USB ports, USB Car Chargers) and pull the full current the charger can support, in such a way as to speed up the time required for a complete battery recharge. By enabling this feature, the USB/ADB data transfers will be disabled (security limitation to protect your data). Default is disabled. Use Trickster MOD to enable/disable it.
Added Dynamic FSync. This feature has been developed by Faux123 and allows to dynamically manage the synchronous writes performed on file system (FSync). It uses asynchronous writes when the screen is on, instead of synchronous writes, to have better performance and a slightly lower battery drain, while when the screen is off the synchronous writes are re-enabled to flush all the outstanding writes and prevent possible data loss. Default is enabled. Use Trickster MOD to enable/disable it.
Added Dynamic dirty page writebacks. This feature has been developed by christopher83 and allows to dynamically manage the dirty page writebacks with two different intervals, one when the screen is on and another when the screen is off. It is based on a commit of Francisco Franco, but instead of using hard coded values and of disabling at all the dirty page writebacks while the screen is on (possibility of data loss), I preferred to use a customizable higher dirty page writebacks interval (15 seconds) than the default one (5 seconds) while the screen is on and a customizable default interval (5 seconds) when the screen is off. By using a higher interval we have better performance and less battery consumption, with a very low risk of data loss. Default is enabled.
Added more gpu steps and overclock it. Looking in specsheet, our Adreno203 support upto 400mhz but for cautious reason i've only compiled with max 350mhz. Use Trickster MOD to lower/raise it.
Enabled all tcp congestion control and changed default to westwood. Use Trickster MOD to change it yourself.
Zram and zsmalloc backported from kernel 3.10.
Using google snappy compression for zram.
Updated lowmemorykiller driver taken from Sony Xperia Z kernel.
Sysfs interface to control android logger, ie logcat and dmesg. Default is disable, to enable just do
Code:
echo "1" >> /sys/kernel/logger_mode/logger_mode
Using AnyKernel 2.0 based installer/flasher. Original AnyKernel is developed by Koushik Dutta aka Koush. Its a template for update.zip that can apply any kernel to any ROM, regardless of ramdisk. Basically what it does is to extract kernel directly from device, unpack it, repack ramdisk with supplied kernel in the installer and flash in onto device. AnyKernel 2.0 pushes the format even further by allowing kernel developers to modify the underlying ramdisk for kernel feature support easily using a number of included command methods along with properties and variables to customize the installation experience to their kernel. AnyKernel 2.0 is developed by osm0sis.
Added init.d support.
Probably many, many other things i forgot...

i can't build the modules needed using compat-wireless source provided by nokia, its in dhacker29's repo too. if i'm not mistaken its compat-wireless for kernel 3.2. strange why nokia didn't use higher compat-wireless from higher kernel as those can be build against our lower kernel 3.4.
i can build modules using compat-wireless for kernel 3.8, 3.9 or even 3.12 but doesn't know correct order to insmod the modules one by one.
just now installed.... Have to check the performance and battery performance.... Will report after testing......
Thnx for custom kernel.... Waiting for this...

Waiting to use it in aosp rom.
Great work.
i've updated to 20140521.
featuring anykernel 2.0 flasher, now kernel can be flashed onto any android 4.1.2 based rom, be it stock rom, stock based custom rom, lewa, baidu, aosp, cm10 etc as long as its 4.1.2 based roms then it will boot. i've tested on stock, b-rom, lewa and baidu.
the anykernel 2.0 flasher got problem with twrp tho, so must use cwm to flash it.

i read the first post and already used tickster mod.
Is there any other mod i meant ?
Thanks for the kernel, its a pleasure to use updated kernel alwyes.
got many other kernel manager in googleplay but i've only tested with trickster mod. u could try others but theres no guarantee that they'll work.
Hello @mdfzhi, first off, thank you for this great kernel. I'm loving the kernel but anyway, I have a question. Inside Trickster MOD, I see that the Core #1 is offline all the time. Is this how it's supposed to be? Will it only use the second core of the CPU only under heavy load, is that correct? I tried using the Performance governor, but the second core is still not running. Perhaps it's controlled by the CPU itself, I don't know.
I'm still sad to see that I can't watch 720p smoothly even with this kernel. But anyhow, thank you for your great work. I'll be using this for a few days to make sure there's no stability issues.

(In the future when a recovery supports both filesystem formatting, you don't need to re-flash kernel).
v21- 21/04/2014 (Kernel-Alucard-V2.6.6f)
Optimized alucard_hotplug and intelli_plug hotplug governors for memory consumptions and performance overall.
General performance overall
Fixed Stweaks app that show "Unexpected error" message. It wasn't an error just a textbox on its background. I also fixed cancelling progress dialog delay that show that message.
Compiled kernel with Sabermod GCC 4.8.3. It seems a bit faster and smoother.
Fixed restoring profiles. [NEW]
v20- 16/04/2014 (Kernel-Alucard-V2.6.6da)
Upgraded to linux 3.4.87 version.
Optimized alucard_hotplug.
v19- 13/04/2014 (Kernel-Alucard-V2.6.6c)
Fixed freezes removing optimzed percpu timer commit.
Updated cpu timing function from Linux 3.14.
Updated kernel smp and cpu parts.
Updated driver cpuidle part.
Imported F2FS. Now the kernel include that FS.
Optimized alucard_hotplug.
Optimized kernel workqueue.
Fixed charged icon while phone, turned off, is charging.
Fixed drivers cpufreq.
Removed SuperSU app and related file inside zip kernel. If you all still have problems with losing root it is not kernel fault. I tested with 4 different roms and I have never lost root.
General improvements.
v18- 07/04/2014 (Kernel-Alucard-V2.6.5ib)
Moved Stweaks, system modules inside zip kernel. Now there will not be problems for anyone.
Reduced default hotplug_sampling_rate to 60 ms. Before was 100 ms.
Implement optimized percpu variable access. It should increase performance just a little bit.

5 Stars for this good kernel
+1
Thanks for your work but I noticed you repo has a lot of branches. what branch is used for AOSP? my-brood-kk I assumed. but I'm not 100% sure
Is nice to see you have your own thread now .
I'm going to test the new kernel now on jamal's RC2 and report on the usage.
Thanks!
Awesome

You are welcome Yes I have two branch for AOSP. (my-cm-11.0 and my-brood-kk)
I have to test and release kernel also for AOSP KK ROM! I need also to import some commits into
i have not rr since L version ....good kernel and good dev ...i like you
Here is a mirror in MEGA:

Cheers!
Alucard Many Thanks from Portugal for your EFFORT.
No RR anymore..
does this kernel have better performance than stock GE kernel? or same? would be awesome a tweaked linaro GE kernel :good:
Alucard you refer that latest kernel release is v2.3.4lg,
i installed but on my kernel version is 2.3.4l, i do not have "lg"
is it ok?

Spirit Kernel
This kernel is ONLY for AOSP based ROMs. This will NOT work on the stock Moto roms.
I will update this regularly as I have time and will add new features and fixes as well.
If you have any feature requests or ideas that haven't been seen before, don't hesitate to post it here!!
PLEASE READ
How to report a bug?
Include the following in your bug report:
The ROM you are currently using + a link to the ROM's thread
A log, preferably dmesgs or kmsgs (use Google to find out how to pull these from your device)
The version of SpiritKernel you use (=rx, e.g.r3)
Bug reports not meeting these requirements will be ignored.
NO BUG REPORTS ON EXPERIMENTAL BUILDS!

F.A.Q. - Read this before complaining!
1. My phone exploded, HALP!
A: I don't answer to problems without a log. The log file is in /proc/last_kmsg. Paste it on pastie.org and link it on your post. Logcats are useless for Kernel purposes, don't bother posting them.
2. This kernel works on Y or X rom?
A: Doesn't work with ROMs having different ramdisk or any derivates due to their irresponsibility of using a different ramdisk which needs patches that break stock rom users. Use a different rom and don't bother me.
3. OMG BETTARY SUCKZ, IT DEAD IN 45 MINUTAS, HALP!
A: As you can imagine I don't build kernels to decrease battery life. All the battery life problems come from your apps, either Facebook, or Maps, or some Location Service being enabled etc etc. Check your damn wakelocks and fix them, the kernel is not responsible for them.
4. How do I flash this?
A: Reading the OP, theres a reason why I added instructions on it.
5. What is a data loss? Did I just had one?
A: Data loss is simply having the connection cut for X periods of time, usually few seconds. Grey bars means the device is not connected to Google services for some weird reason, but you'll still have internet connection.
6. OP is arrogant, I'm gonna call the Internet Police?
A: Deal with it.

Normal moto g or second generation?
And there isnt even franco kernel for this device lol so ofc you screw up.
If you indeed own a moto g 2nd gen (titan) and your are running latest cm12 nightly it is safe to flash this kernel.

Sent from my Moto G 2014 using XDA Free mobile app
I did not think the new governors nor Min Freq: 96000
Is there anyway to disable the cpu being clocked at 19000 whenever I touch the screen? It's a feature of CM12, however is there anyway to disable this? I tried putting off mpDecision through Faux123 but it still goes to 19000 even with intelliplug and the user defined option. Any help appreciated!

hello,
could you give some details as to what the differences/advantages/benifits to using this over crpalmers kernel?
thanks.
Most of changes - is updated Linux kernel patch version. And new linaro toolchain with cortex-a7 optimizations
Thanks will give it a try.

And one more change- disabled KSM. Due to poor efficiency.
Memory economy with ksm ~4%, and higher cpu usage.

Take look at this post.
But really needed 4 cores for watch?.. The decision is yours.
Stock Sony kernel use only 2 cores.
Always nice to see development for this watch! Will give it a try later.
Is there a Kernel that can fully disable burn in safety settings? So that ambient mode can be similar to normal mode on the sw3?

OP updated with beta/test versions.
Feedback is very welcome!
For beta-version users- please give output :
cat /proc/meminfo
dumpsys meminfo
grep '' /sys/kernel/mm/uksm/*
great work , nice to see some development... will try later on and give feedback and comparison with crpalmers kernel
OP Updated with version 1.12.4.
Only one change with 1.12.3- Improve performance in lz4 compression and decompression.
For now betas will be 4 cores (if you need 1,2,3-cores version- PM me).
I had been using crpalmer's kernal for 5 months with no power drains.
When I loaded up version 2 of your kernal I had a massive power drain when the watch was disconnected from my phone for a couple of hours. This was the same problem as I had with the default kernal. I have attached the wear battery stats screenshot
Sorry, I was unable to get any logs for you as I had to load crpalmer's kernal back onto my watch as I need to know the watch will last the day.

In stock and crpalmer kernel, sometimes, when watch disconnected from phone, same result was in many people.
I'm think that not depends directly from the kernel. But, if it happens again- try to get dmesg, logcat -v time and top -m 30 -n 1.
Thanks for feedback.
For now- differences between version 1.12.4 and crpalmer's kernel:
Linux kernel 3.10.96 (latest for now)
Add improved lz4 compression algorithm for ZRAM (faster compression & decompression of zram swap than default LZO)
Add UKSM (Much more CPU-friendly and effectively than KSM)
Increased vm.page-cluster
Some changes in defconfig

How to install :
1. Download Mimori Kernel and install it from recovery mode, use TWRP recovery (TWRP Link)
2. install kernel adiutor from Playstore for kernel configuration (i don't have myself app to control kernel) (Try to use BETA version to get fix for CPU temperature)
3. Final step, let's configure kernel like what you want it :victory: and enjoy my first custom kernel

Kernel Adiutor OTA Update Information
Now for CyanogenMod And AOSP Based ROM, Hana Kernel Offered OTA Update feature for kernel update using kernel adiutor app for CyanogenMod Based ROM with "download" feature in kernel adiutor.
You can download new build in that menu included ; introduce, kernel feature and changelog update. Now i'm still try to enable it on LineageOS too, i'm just need to wait confirmation from the admin .
For anyone want to install this kernel, can access too using KA. just like normal download and installation for kernel :laugh:
Have fun
Kernel Adiutor Information
For Kernel Adiutor Usage
During new stable version of Kernel Adiutor have problem with CPU temperature, now we should use BETA build from Kernel Adiutor to get fix for that problem.
And for set on boot configuration, i'm not recommended it again , since that only can make kernel error during boot up process.
So set kernel when system is already boot is best option for stability and performance.
If kernel adiutor to hard for configure, then you can try Device Control app to manage your kernel.

[INFO] Double Tap 2 Wake & BETA Build
For Double Tap 2 Wake
Try to use kernel adiutor and check in wake tap, after that choose DT2W and enable it using "full'" option and then let's try DT2W features with vibration on mimori kernel
NOTE : BETA Build For Testing (Not Stable)
github/build
For BETA, try to look date for kernel. Find latest one, and anyone can test latest beta if don't want wait for stable update. I can't promise to make fast update for stable source, i don't want to make any problem. so it's better stay at beta and whenever it ready, and it should release on thread :victory:
Thanks.

sound is bursting? i think i'm not to modified to sound on this kernel, maybe that's from high cpu usage so that's make sound is distortion. i will try to look at sound option.

Small notes
The kernel is tested on C6902/C6903/C6906 model. Not sure about other Z1 variants (don't confuse with Z1c). Testers are welcome
As written in the thread name, make sure you're on ROMs mentioned in the thread name. Please report if other ROMs work with this kernel
The kernel is based on @SuperLamic's msm8974 kernel source, and other features were cherry-picked from other sources as well. Original credits goes to them
For dt2w, tap 2 fingers at once on your touchscreen (as mentioned in Modified-kernel thread)
Reserved for future usage
Twrp included ?
Any plans for oreo version?
Is it possible to disable dt2w?
I remember way back it was usually done by modifying a file like
echo "1" > /sys/android_touch/ *some dt2w file*

You can disable it from Kernel Adiutor -> Wake -> DoubleTap2Wake
Or sysfs way:
Code:
echo 0 > /sys/class/input/input1/wakeup_gesture

Bootloops on RR Nougat 7.1.2 (yeah yeah yeah, read the disclaimer on support for other ROMS, just curious to test this kernel). Strange but offline charging works as expected and even booting into TWRP works. But while in TWRP I notice the device temperature begins to rise rapidly, causing it to reboot,,,,,hope this works in future releases. Device: C6902
RZ v1.5 is up! Changes
Implemented power efficient workqueues (thanks to franciscofranco)
Disabled DT2W by default
Enabled multi-core power saving by default
Reverted GPU OC, obviously because it doesn't do anything
Built with UBERTC 4.9
Disabled battery-hogging wakelocks (thanks to franciscofranco)
Enabled intelli_plug and intellithermal by default (you'll need to disable mpdecision from Kernel Adiutor so intelli_plug will work properly)
RZ v1.5 is available on my Drive folder. Please checkout OP for download link!
Cheers,
Confirmed working with latest Carbon N ?

Good work on my c6903 LOS 14.1 SuperLamic.
Nice work. It's working fine on my C6906 running LOS 14.1 from SuperLamic with Magisk installed and working fine too. My phone was charging too slow but now it's fixed.
Hello, remilia15.
Thank you for your work.
This kernel is flash like update.zip in trwp recovery?

Added support for zswap (ported from Samsung msm8974 kernel source)
Added IO schedulers: zen, fiops (default is still ROW)
Added 100MHz GPU step (should reduce battery consumption on light usage)
Added support for Dynamic Fsync (disabled by default), powersuspend driver (default: HYBRID mode)
Reduced CPU standby voltage
Fixed dt2w deep sleep state (it should function properly now)

Hi
thanks for your works buddy
can u make kernel for other roms like RR too?
u can use anykernel :fingers-crossed:

I'm using the very first version of AnyKernel with very minimal patching commands
Somehow it's pretty hard for me to adapt to a newer AK version so I decided to write my own noob-friendly ramdisk patching script instead (compatible with all Z1 AOSP boot.img)
My kernel boots currently on LOS N and Carbon N. For RR, idk why it bootloops. Probably need some other kernel commits maybe?
Sent from my Xperia Z1 using XDA Labs
Runs nice..but I needed to flash the stock kernel from superlamic lineage os and then flash this kernel because the phone went in to a bootloop on the sony logo.
Just a reminder to what to do when your next update is coming
edit: no its magisk thats acting up.. wont't boot when installing this after flashing the kernel
Phone is booting with magisk on stock kernel so something is not right.
I don't have more time atm for this so im gonna let it be
