Q1) What are custom kernels? What are the benefits of using custom kernels?
A kernel is basically the bridge between the software and hardware. Whenever you command your phone to do something (launching an app), the software sends that request to the hardware which in turn, makes the launching of the app possible. Custom kernels for Android are unofficial creations of independent developers. Unlike the kernels that OEMs make, custom kernels offer more modifications that allow you to tweak your phone in every possible way.
Benefits Of Installing Custom Kernels
You can benefit from having better control of your device. These options are most helpful for users who want to maximize the full potential of their phone or perhaps want to extend their device's battery life. Below are some of the benefits of installing custom kernels.
-Adjust CPU frequencies and set profiles like OnDemand, Battery Saving, etc.
-Underclock and overclock CPU speeds
-Underclock and overclock GPU speeds
-Adjust voltage
-Adjust touch screen sensitivity
-Equip your phone with BLN (backlight notifications)
-Custom recovery that allows backups and restorations of entire ROMs as well as installation of .zip files
-Minimum screen brightness pushed past the limitations of stock kernel
-Conserve battery (with the right settings
Q2) Where can I get the AK kernel and which one should I flash?
The latest kernel is always linked in the OP. The kernel is broken down between the Purity version and Pirate version. The Purity kernel is meant to be as close to stock as possible. The Pirate kernel on the other hand is more of a experimental kernel with more options than Purity.
Q3) I have a XXXXX version of the Galaxy Nexus, will it work?
Yes, the AK kernel works on all versions of the Galaxy Nexus. This includes the CDMA and GSM versions. Download the kernel from the AK thread.
Q4) How do I make changes to my kernel settings? (ex: voltages, fastcharge, etc.)
Download the Trickster Mod from the Google Play store.
Q5) Can I use AK on xxxxx rom?
AK is known to work on any rom based on AOSP, AOKP, CM10, and even MIUI.
Q6) How do I install it coming from another kernel?
TWRP is the prefered recovery, although CWM recovery may also work.
The ideal way to install AK, especially if you are coming from another kernel, is to do the following.
Wipe cache and dalvik cache
Wipe /system
Re-flash your ROM
Flash AK
Fix permissions in recovery (this may take up to a minute or two)
Reboot
Q7) Do I need to wipe cache/dalvik/battery stats/etc if I'm just installing the kernel onto a previous AK version?
No, download and flash away. Only wipe battery stats if your battery percentages are off. Do not believe the myth that doing so will increase your battery life.
Q8) Do I need to run any other apps like SetCPU or equivalent?
No, if you plan to install and run Trickster Mod, please uninstall any other apps that may interfere with your CPU settings. If you are still running into problems (ex: reboots, FCs, etc.) please check your /etc/init.d directory for any left over scripts from other rom or kernels. These may interfere with how AK operates.
Q9) What is Smart Reflex? What is FSync? What is Thermal Throttling?
Smart Reflex is used to scale your voltages. Voltage will be increased or decreased when required. If you are overclocking, disable SR to have access to higher clock speeds.
FSync is a system call that can be toggled on to write buffers to disk (slow) or toggled off (fast) for performance. FSync defaults to on in the linux kernels, the option to disable it exists but it is advised to use this with caution. COMPLETE data corruption could occur if the phone crashes with fsync disabled.
Thermal throttling protects your CPU from overheating. If you are benchmarking, turn this option off to prevent throttling of the CPU that can cause lower scores. Just remember to re-enable it afterwards. Bear in mind that at 110C, the CPU will shut down no matter what. It is not advised to disable thermal throttling, however the option exists for those enthusiasts who are aware of the risk of permanent hardware damage. Please take the necessary precautions!
Q10) Does PGM (slide2wake) for the Nexus work with AK?
Yes PGM is supported on. But be sure to use the latest(March-25) version.
Note- The latest free or pro version of the pgm app is required.[/B]
Q11) What is the sleep of death (SoD)?
You turn the screen off, when you want to pick it up, you can not wake it up.
There is no blinking notification and when you call it, there is no ringing or vibration. When you press and hold power, it does not turn on, otherwise it was OFF.
If you play a game and it reboots, or freezes. That is NOT a SoD.
Q12) Can xxxxx option be implemented in AK?
Stefano wants to keep Purity as close to stock as possible but feel free to request features for Pirate within this thread or the dev thread. Whether or not it gets implemented is up to Stefano.
Q13) I want to keep my Rom's bootanimation, why does AK kernel keep trolling me?
The boot animation by Ciprian is hardcoded so it cant be changed.
Q14) How is battery life?
No one can predict your usage. However, most folks are getting great screen on time and performance.
Q15) I just experienced a reboot, how can I help to pinpoint the problem?
Open up terminal emulator and issue the command:
Code:
cat /proc/last_kmsg > /sdcard/last_kmsg.txt
Take this last_kmsg.txt file and show it to Stefano in this thread. It's suggested to copy the contents and use something like pastebin instead of spamming the thread with your log.
Q16) Whats with all the name changes?
Stefano aka AK changes the name whenever he makes major change to kernels, meaning they are different kernels thats why they have different names.. thats why the kernels went from berserk>dummy>pirate>cylon>AK/diamond>.. AK/Diamond are the same he just changed the name from AK to diamond thats why the changelog for diamond leads to changelog of AK.. as for purity that kernel is as close to stock as possible so its name has been purity since i started using this kernel, Stefnao stopped making the purity kernel and now BigBrother1984 makes Rubik in its place
Any other things that should stand in the FAQ? Did I make some horrible language mistakes? Write me a PM or post in this thread.

I have no problem with branding, but I believe just a splash of the logo would suffice. I am running the Pirate version and not a huge fan of the pirate splash and would really like to remove it or at least have the option to change it to the AK logo. Any chance of this ever happening?

i persoanly dont have any lag with this kernel(i use stock settings) but post the following info and we might figure out why you are getting lag-
- are you using custom Freqs + Uv?
- kernel version?
- rom version?
- governor?
- scheduler?
- freq cpu?
- freq gpu?
So I'm new to custom kernels, but I'd like to see super basic stuff for newbies in the faq. like "What is the benefit of installing a kernel and what does it do?" in the faq. or like "Is there a rom that works better with this kernel?"

i like the first question so will add it in the OP, as for second question nobody can answer it but you, every device is different so the rom/kenrel that works best for me wont necessarily work best for you thats why i recommened that you try different rom/kernel combos
This might help with the question "is there a rom that works better with this kernel", or any kernel for that matter.

My personal opinion about this kernel
I really like the thing to keep it update to mainline linux, only 2 kernel keep this ( leankernel & franco kernel )
I noticed some strange things
the first is disabling MPU Smartreflex and set lower voltage than SR , device is hot and drain more battery WHY? it's unsense ( test with #704 ) anyone can confirm?
The second one too much battery ( using SR ), in the past i love check my phone every seconds and close all apps to keep some juice inside battery, now with AK kernel battery life is something incredible and it's annoying : / , i arrive to 21:00 ( from 7:00 ) with 30-40% and 4-5 hours screen on and ever single thing turn on ( i'm using google now only for meteo lol ), with others kernel same thing, i arrive with much lower %, like 5-10%
This is my settings:
AK kernel 704
AOKP Self Compiled updated with 22feb git
Interactive ( 350 - 1060 Mhz ) - ( Screen off max : 535 Mhz ) - ( hispeed_freq : 810000 ) ( brightness: 50% ) ( 135 apps installed ) ( Full disk encryption [ said only cuz disk operation use more CPU = more Battery ] )
I feel you should include the Wep not working on 704+ pirates.
SOS sent from my gnexus captured by the pirates.

Kernel InformationGeneral Installation Instructions (for both TW and AOSP):1. Download correct version of kernel for your device and rom. This is important as you may brick your phone is you use the wrong version.
2. Flash kernel using your preferred recovery
3. Do the following AFTER installing the kernel and BEFORE you reboot your phone:
a. Clear cache
b. Clear dalvik
c. Fix Permissions
4. Reboot your device.
TW Specific Kernel Instructions:
(can be used with AOSP too)There are some files on your TouchWiz phone that need to be renamed in order to maximize the battery life of your phone. There has been some debate on whether or not this is necessary, but for now we would recommend renaming these files to ensure that there is no chance of excessive battery drain.
Part 1:
These steps are only necessary on TouchWiz ROMs, however you can also do this on AOSP as well:
1. You must have ROOT. You will need to have a root enabled file explorer on your phone (ES File Explorer works very well and you can get it from the play store (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.estrongs.android.pop&hl=en). When you get it, open it up and go the the settings and scroll all the way down until you see the Root Settings. Go in there and enable ALL of the root settings.
2. After that is done, navigate to your root folders using the Folder Up icon at the top. Once you are in your root folders, navigate to /system/bin and locate the following files. You will need to rename them with a ".bak" at the end of the filename
gsiff_daemon --> gsiff_daemon.bak
mpdecision --> mpdecison.bak
qosmgr --> qosmgr.bak
smd --> smd.bak
smdexe --> smdexe.bak
Renaming these files will not harm your phone. Many users rename these files every time they flash a rom, and no damge is done.
Also, some ROMs come with these files renamed or deleted entirely, so if you don’t find a file, don’t be alarmed.
You have to do this every time you flash the ROM and/or Kernel.
If you feel uncomfortable doing this yourself, you can use the TK-MOD (see Downloads section) and it will handle this for you.
Part 2:
Stopping mpdecision from being called:
1. Open terminal emulator and type the following code:
su
2. When terminal emulator asks for root permission hit 'Grant' or 'Allow'.
3. At the # prompt type:
stop mpdecision
Using Rom Toolbox (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.liberty.toolbox) we will make a script that will stop mpdecision from being called at each boot so you don't need to use terminal emulator each time
1. Open Rom Toolbox and scroll down to the Scripter option
2. In the scripter, click the “+” button in the top right corner, then select 'Create'
3. Type a name for our new script, lets call it “stop mpdecision”
4. In the commands enter the following text:
#!/system/bin/sh
stop mpdecision
5. Hit the disk icon to save it
6. Select the script that you just created and a dialog box should pop up, select set at boot
Were done here
AOSP Specific Kernel Instructions:When coming from a 3.0 Kernel to a 3.4 Kernel there is a new method with kernel updates. Skipping these steps will cause phone instability, due to some bad data left behind. This is a flaw in the Android OS, not the application. You must follow the instructions below (Thanks ktoonzs for the new method of the ktweaker app)
1. Go to Settings on the phone
2. Go to app manager then all apps
3. Scroll down to ktweaker app n open it
4. Once open hit FORCE STOP and then hit CLEAR DATA
5. Reboot and flash your new update of ktoonzs kernel
6. Repeat steps 1-4 in the above “General Installation” section
You should be good to go after that

Here you will find all of our tweaks to the kernel. We are providing these pre-configured settings as a means to assist S4 users with further improving their overall experiences on this already beast of a phone or to simply use as a baseline to work upon tweaking further. Please 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 the KT-SGS4 kernel. Big thanks to ALL who have contributed!
Download links will include the specified profile(s) as well as an "Adjustments" 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" 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!
https://copy.com/6DYYijYNqifx
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.
https://copy.com/CZdfHiaZEOAu
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.
https://copy.com/xWpFNDtIsQHe
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.
https://copy.com/vynBURHcsOUl
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.
https://copy.com/H0FUiELjgegB
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.

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 v2 (updated: 12~23~13)
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 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 Quad-Core
This is the counter part of Sleeping Dragon V2 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 must give credits to Luigi for useing parts from his Balanced Bull Script, and Undisputed 3 Script and part from my Crimson Dragon Script. I am pleased to present users with this 4 Core or Quadcore profile

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!.

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.

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.

If your first post is a work in progress and you just copied from your gs3 thread to get the formatting you should put a big disclaimer at the top warning people not to use what they fins here until you are done.

I have this on my international S4 so you have confirmed both GS4 models have been effected. It's aroma itself. I'll let @RErick know and hopefully one day aroma has better touch drivers for us.
For now try this method I have been doing. Hold a finger low on the screen and drag up but do not let go with that finger. With your other hand, use a finger to tap the selections you could not get to. This helps where before you'd scroll and let go and you would be back where screen position started. Hopefully that helps eek the install through. For each section you must hit none for all installs you would like to skip or the installer will not continue as you go through the options.
Please continue reporting issues, this is greatly appreciated.

Great thank you ^.^
Working good so far btw I think lol, I have not gotten the chance of looking at ktz original setting, i flashed you guy's tweak after the first boot. Will post up a screenshot up in a min here of everything i got so far. I choose the AOSP balance setting in the aroma I believe it was suppose to be with ktoonservativeq and noop? but when I booted it was row..(so im not sure if settings were actually flashed or not?) I know for sure buildprop was edited.
Also, can I get some information about the section with crossbreeder? Is crossbreeder install alone? Because in that section of the aroma it gave you option to uninstall, I did not choose that, I believe I choose the first option. So that means crossbreeder is install along yes?
Battery seems good I believe. 1 hour screen time with 14% battery of normal use is not bad at all
Benchmark not as good as I had hope for a balance setting. But they rarely matters for me so its not that big of a deal

The ktweaker back ups should be labeled but are not yet. They are from GS3 I should get some GS4 ones with RErick in about two weeks. I would try Raw Intellects file he posted some posts back for more performance via kernel settings.
I would try setting noop again if that is your preferred scheduler. It is always great on battery.
If you have 99TKmod and 98Cron in your intid our systctrl loaded as well.
Yes based on your selection you have the stock crossbreeder mod installed. I will get you link for info on crossbreeder. The uninstall is included for users with the stock crossbreeder installed and want to install our tweaks, both included crossbreeder versions were modded to work with our whole setup, the one labeled modified though only has entropy generation enabled and extra crossbreeder features disabled such as dns boost/tether boost/adblock and governor tweaks of which for some users have caused lots of issues so we included a version which after second boot on modified crossbreeder version is finished being setup automatically but must wait about 4-5min to be sure the scriot for it ran before reboot. So for you with the stock crossbreeder installed which has been made fully compatible with our setup, you are all set and should be running as normal for you.
Ill get link here for crossbreeder thread for info for you.

* I am not the Kernel developer. ALL THE CREDITS FOR THE KERNEL GOES FOR @baybutcher27
* I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards, corrupted partition, nuclear disasters
* Please do some research before using this mod!
* YOU are choosing to make these modifications,
* If you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you. Hard. So hard.
I started a project to myself use and shared this with some users in the brazilian Moto Maxx community. This project is based on doing profiles for BHB27 Kernel for our device: Quark.
These profiles are based on tests and new changes are tested before released.
These profiles are hardly tested by me and the beta testers. When released for beta testers the focus is to see if there are improvements between the tested version and the latest version available, find the best configuration for each usage profile and, for sure, search for bugs (as lags, microlags, battery drain, etc). After that tests I release it to Xda and keep searching for bugs for all the users.
I'M DEFINITELY NOT A DEVELOPER!
ALL I KNOW I DID READ A LOT TO MAKE THESE TWEAKS AND CHANGES (I 'STUDIED' EACH TWEAK IN ZZMOVE, FOR EXAMPLE).
THIS DOES NOT UNDERVOLT YOUR DEVICE OR ENABLE WAKE CONTROLS. ACTIVE WAKE CONTROLS OR UNDERVOLT YOUR DEVICE BY YOUR OWN RISK.
- Intelligent Tasker profiles (Temporarily removed)
- Intelligent notifications based on circumstances (Temporarily removed)
- Kernel adiutor profiles constantly updated
- Profiles based on users needs
- Multi profile
- Better battery life on stand-by and usage time
- Better configuration for daily usage
- Better performance for gaming
- No overheat in daily usage
- Screen balance (fix the yellow screen bug on quark)
- Low memory killer tweaked
- Virtual memory tweaked
AVAILABLE PROFILES
Daily Profile: The best balance possible between battery and performance. Reduce frequencies as fastest as possible, deactivate unnecessary cores the fastest possible, only go for high frequencies (above 1497) only if really needed, extremely good cores management to prevent battery drain and overheat.
PowerSave Profile: Maximum optimization for battery. CPU/GPU underclocked, CPU limited to 2 cores, a lot of optimizations for the best battery possible without much smoothness sacrifice.
Gaming Profile: Maximum optimization for games. CPU/GPU tunes and optimizations for a better gaming experience.
***YOUR BATTERY MAY DRAIN FASTER.
***YOUR PHONE MAY OVERHEAT.
I'm so happy to introduce IntelliProfiles, an integration from Tasker and ProfilesMod. This are Tasker profiles based on circumstances which change kernel adiutor profiles, change system configuration and much other actions.
**Every change made will be asked if the user would like to do so by a notification. Nothing will be done automatically.**
Every profiles were hardly tested by 20 users and all the profiles are correctly working.
RecommendationsFor daily usage the recommended is daily profile. Other profiles may decrease the battery faster because they stay at high frequencies for longer times.
Don't change anything in the profiles, so you may find bugs and help me developing and fixing it.
Try to run every game with daily profile, if it do lag then you try the Gaming. Gaming keeps all cores and GPU at maxed frequency and may heat and decrease battery really fast.
Always have the up-to-date IntelliProfiles mod. It's really important to be updated and have the newest version.
Report any bug, so I can fix it the fastest possible. Do not hesitate to report any bug or problem you have with the mod.
REQUIREMENTS
Custom Recovery (TWRP recommended)
BHB27 Kernel
The latest BHB Kernel Adiutor
Kernel and Kernel Adiutor may be found at: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-maxx/development/kernel-bhb27-kernel-t3207526
INSTALLATIONEXTRACT THE FILE, COPY TO EMULATED/0/KA_PROFILES AND APPLY THE PROFILE IN KERNEL ADIUTOR APP.
OPTINAL --- Add Kernel Adiutor widget to your homescreen for an easy profile switch.
DONE!
TO DO LIST (LISTED BY PRIORITY)
• Nothing at To Do List at this moment. You may request me right here or at Telegram @Debuffer)
All under progress since it will take a while to everything work like it should.
"TO DO LIST" priority order may suffer changes based on the user's reports, user's requests faster and/or success rate in profile tests.
This list is variable and may be changed anytime.
All profiles will be hardly tested before being released.
None profile will be released if it presents bugs or instability.
PROFILES SUGGESTIONS ARE ALWAYS WELCOME! I'M SO EXCITED TO DO IT SO YOU CAN ASK FOR ANY PROFILE AND I WILL DO MY BEST TO DO IT.
MORE BETA TESTERS ARE ACTUALLY NEEDED
ACTUALLY IT'S ME AND TWO FRIENDS TESTING IT ONLY ON XT1225 QUARK

CHANGELOG
30/09/2016Changed CPU governor for the most optimized combination with Govtuner
Configured all new kernel features for the best optimizations

Tweaked virtual memory
Some improvements in CPU
READ CAREFULLY:
Now IntelliProfiles doesn't support any Governor Tunables. What does it means? It means that it will not have custom CPU governor tunables. Instead of it, the users should use GovTuner, my other project which fits perfect with IntelliProfiles.
Users should use both together to have the best experience with our Moto Maxx/Droid Turbo.

IntelliProfiles 6.0 released.
New installation method. Please, check Installation tab to learn the new method. Titanium Backup isn't needed anymore.
Updated Kernel Adiutor to Kernel Adiutor by Baybutcher +12 version.
Tasker is not back yet. Please, vote the pool if it's better with or without Tasker.
New read-ahead value for Daily and PowerSave profiles. This new value might slightly increase the battery.
A lot of optimizations in Daily profile. It's now more smooth and doesn't drain so much battery as the last used to.
Improvements in I/O Scheduler for Gaming Profile.
#2
Installation bug fixed.
Good idea, but maybe it will be better to focus on less complex range of profiles, such as performance/balanced/battery saving? IMO that way it will be easier for everyone to choose the favorite preset.
P.S. Isn't there a built-in utility to create profiles in KA?

This is machinex.
This is machinex. I have been working on this kernel for over a year now, and am finally comfortable with its release to the public. This kernel builds on the great work of those who have made this device the powerhouse that it is. There are elements here that you have experienced on every GS4 kernel to date, as well as other devices.
The goal I had for this project was upstreaming/updating/experimentally upgrading as much as I possibly could. I have done so, and will continue to do so.
This kernel is ONLY for TW-based, 5.0.1 roms for the I9505!!! NO I WILL NOT DEVELOP FOR DEVICES I DO NOT OWN, SAVE YOUR BREATH!
OBLIGATORY DISCLAIMER:
THIS KERNEL COULD VERY WELL DESTROY YOUR PHONE, YOUR LIFE, YOUR MARRIAGE, Etc. YOU INSTALL AT YOUR OWN RISK!! XDA AND I ACCEPT NO LIABILITY FOR YOUR DECISION TO USE THIS KERNEL!!For noobs: assume that installing this kernel will cause your phone to grow arms and punch you in the face.
PLEASE READ AND UNDERSTAND THIS OP BEFORE LEAVING USELESS "IT DOESN'T WORK" COMMENTS!
Issues that aren't answered here will be dealt with on a case-by-case basis.

LOGS OR IT DIDN'T HAPPEN! Context helps too. What were your Synapse Settings?
KNOWN ISSUES Wifi issue is fixed! After a fresh rom install, all you need to do is reboot and the appropriate files are created in /data enjoy! HOTSPOT IS FIXED!!!! Finally! I AM AWARE OF AND WORKING ON LOCKSCREEN PIN BUGS!!
FEATURES:
- Linux 3.4.113 + a LOT of upstreamed subsystem code.
- Automatic Busybox Installation, Version 1.25.1.
- Cpufreq core backported ENTIRELY from mainline 4.13. All Cores operate independantly. Their governors and tunables can all be different.
- Govorners: Due to a highly upstreamed cpufreq core api, not many custom governors for now except for Interactive, Intelliactive, and the *NEW* Schedutil governor, described in the documentation like so:
The "schedutil" governor aims at better integration with the Linux
kernel scheduler. Load estimation is achieved through the scheduler's
Per-Entity Load Tracking (PELT) mechanism, which also provides
information about the recent load [1]. This governor currently does
load based DVFS only for tasks managed by CFS. RT and DL scheduler tasks
are always run at the highest frequency. Unlike all the other
governors, the code is located under the kernel/sched/ directory.
Sysfs files:
* rate_limit_us:
This contains a value in microseconds. The governor waits for
rate_limit_us time before reevaluating the load again, after it has
evaluated the load once.
For a great, comprehensive blog regarding the specifics of each governor, as well as the settings found below, please check out the link I've referenced in post #3.
- HARDLIMIT and THERMAL: Incorporated Yank555's CPU Limiting solution, Hardlimit. ALL hardlimits, cpu boost limits, and thermal limits are now PER CORE. I have included it directly in the core cpufreq code, and it is the primary controller for THERMAL, INPUT BOOST and user controlled hardlimits. Thermal overrides both user-selected and input-boost limits, and you can monitor the limiting in real time. Also, the thermal driver now accounts for each core's temperature, and saves time/lock-contention by skipping core control if the temps are below the frequency limiting value.
-CPU HARDPLUG: A driver I built that hooks into the main cpu hotplug API and allows you to disable any core you want, configurable for screen on/off.
- Hotplugs: MX Hotplug, personally built from scratch and uses a real-time kthread for its calculation work. Intelliplug 15.8 (Personally Updated), Alucard Hotplug, MSM_sleeper, Lazyplug, Blu Plug, and Bricked hotplug.
Hotplug Notes: I changed the names of certain functions in the Alucard and MSM Sleeper hotplugs, so that their tunables could be streamlined in Synapse. Synapse is cleaner and simpler than ever, but if you use a third party app, Alucard and MSM Sleeper's max cores and max cores during suspend settings will not be tunable. So anyone who uses a third party app with this kernel let me know and I'll devise a workaround. Mpdecision removed entirely. The "mpdecision" in our sysfs is actually bricked hotplug.
-GPU:Machinactive, Interactive, Conservative, Ondemand, Performance and Powersave GPU Governors, GPU touchboost (fixed suspend issue), ability to lock the min/max freqs, and more!
-Updated version of fauxsound (5.4) (flar2, alesaiko, me). I limited the options in the code to the 4 controls that actually work for our device, and you'll notice a significant stability improvement. Slimbus:Golden-ratio-based operation is pristine. Sound quality is hardware-perfected. The version number is largely arbitrary and I increment when I make any significant improvements. NO MORE USERSPACE CALCULATIONS NEEDED!!!
-A gamot of colour, brightness, and panel options that I frankly didn't think would be feasible for our device, but it's working! MDNIE HIJACK selection, KCAL, and Cyanogen's generic PCC colour control are implemented in Synapse. Note that MDNIE/KCAL stuff is a battery thief, and I've not tested PCC colour control enough for power consumption to give you a definitive statement on it. Note: PCC values are from 1000 (safety limit) to 32768 (or a number close to that), meaning your tuning control is as FINELY GRAINED as possible for this device. I can't believe Synapse actually supports its ridiculous number of steps (and well, I might add). Faux's generic "colour control presets' are in there and they actually work! The stock colours much more vivid, and lower brightness settings benefit from them as I have modified top brightness to my liking.
-HBM:Qualcomm High Brightness Mode: unlocked! This can be controlled via a checkbox in Synapse, but you can also use flar2's HBM widget from the play store. I tried it before and HBM would flicker, but i pulled off a VERY hacky way of making it userspace controllable. Be careful! Though it doesn't seem to drain the battery or overheat the device, it's purely experimental and could cause Chuck Norris to come to your house and personally smash your phone. Now SEPARATE from autobrightness! "SCREEN FLICKER FIX" on PAGE 2
- Completely upstreamed and overhauled cpu, power, scheduling...you name it. Updated Powersuspend to the point where I had to rename it, because it is now closely integrated with the core suspend/power api. Introducing: Prometheus. The driver now calls suspend directly when you turn the screen off, unless a) music is playing, b) the phone is plugged in or c) you choose to disable the feature.
-All the TCPIP tweaks etc, updates to random/frandom, android-specific autogrouping, limited but significant LMK/OOM updates.
-BACKPORTED "codel" fair-queueing net-scheduler, for a faster/more consistent networking experience.
-persistent ram, kexec-support, fast-charge, etc. Drop Caches button in Synapse is useful.
-Utilizing Qualcomm's built-in QRNGD (qualcomm random number generator daemon) with randomness optimized in the kernel = entropy for days.
-BOOTLOADER: Officially only 5.0.1 Bootloaders are supported. Unofficially, someone tried it with a KK bootloader and it worked fine for him so what do I know?
-COMPLETE Synapse support. Download, update, AND install Busybox On Rails from the PlayStore before you install the kernel for best compatibility and support. UPDATE: FULL Busybox installation is now included in machinex installer script. If you have any issues, still feel free to install Busybox on Rails. Upon kernel installation, you'll find Synapse installed in your system apps. If you want to get rid of it, just remove it from /system/priv-app with your file manager.
-CPU and GPU VOLTAGE Control: Both in Synapse. I DO NOT SUPPORT ISSUES IF YOU CHANGE VOLTAGE. YOU ARE ON YOUR OWN.
MENTIONS:
To those listed here, I cannot express how grateful I am for your assistence, patience, and kindness towards me as I badgered you throughout my journey. Though saying "thank you" doesn't feel like enough, thank you all. If I missed someone here, please tell me.

The Machinex Testing Team! - AMAZING folks, just amazing.
My Awesome Testers from this thread.
Again, I'm sure there's tons more.
On to the fun part then
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:More importantly, the uninstallation instructions. The install pretty much takes care of itself.
There are two links below that you must download in order to safely have an install/uninstall solution for this kernel. The one labelled "machinex-MarkOneHundred.zip" is the kernel. UPDATE: Busybox On Rails isn't required anymore. The second zip is crucial for uninstalling, aptly named "machinex-uninstaller-Jan12.zip." When this kernel is installed (and everytime it boots), it will rename mpdecision, thermald, thermal-engine, and power.default.so with an appended "-bak" suffix, because they all interfere with the updated power/cpu code in the kernel. If you switch to a different kernel, I INSIST that you flash the uninstaller (or take a look at the scripts yourself and do the stuff manually). ATTENTION: SLIM80'S KERNEL CLEANING SCRIPT IS NO LONGER NECESSARY WHEN FLASHING THIS KERNEL!!!!!! I HAVE INTEGRATED MY OWN CLEANUP PROCESS IN THE INSTALLER!!!!!!!!!!
TLDR: NO NEED FOR BUSYBOX ON RAILS, flash zip. use uninstaller zip to uninstall.
DOWNLOADS:
!!!JANUARY 12, 2017:UPDATE!! NEW UNINSTALLER for EVERY VERSION!!!!
DO NOT MIRROR THESE ELSEWHERE. DO NOT INCLUDE THEM IN YOUR ROM WITHOUT ASKING MY PERMISSION FIRST. I AM HAPPY TO COLLABORATE, NOT TO BE ON THE RECEIVING END OF BUG REPORTS CAUSED BY THIRD PARTY DOWNLOADERS.

So keep in mind this a development thread, blah blah blah, but if we all have good discussions (let's TRY to keep it on topic), I'm more than happy to have some fellow nerd friends to talk about my passion with. Heck, I want to use this thread as a chance to meet some other developers who wanna work on stuff together, exchange ideas, learn, and teach me how to get better at git.
Enjoy!

UPDATES NOTICE:
Reset your fuelguage (in Synapse) after every install! WIping your cache and dalvik-cache can be helpful for stubborn apps, as well as wiping the cache of any specific app giving you trouble!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
UPDATES - MarkOneHundred - October 31, 2017
CHANGELOG:
- Updated memory management to roughly linux 4.4.
- Modified Cpufreq in various ways. Per-Cpu frequency touchboost, per-cpu thermal core tracking and limiting, and governors can now be changed if a cpu core is offline. The governor selected will be applied to the core once it comes back online.
- Implemented Omniboost, a generic touchboost interface that can be used for any driver, so long as driver has an external function that the booster can use.
- Built a new hotplug driver from scratch, mx_hotplug. The driver chooses to on/offline cores based on a combination of system load and current number of scheduler requests (and touch of course). What separates this hotplug driver from others is that it uses a real-time kthread in order to give it an "interactive" type calculation.
- Speaking of which, found and fixed the issues with google's most recent interactive governor, and have added it back. Due to it working perfectly now, I forward-ported Intelliactive as well.
- Updated Hardplug to be more efficient.
- Built a little userspace hotplug driver from scratch for those who just need manual core adjustments.
- Tons of other little fixes and updates, to the kernel itself and to Synapse. Please explore around Synapse for some of the updated features.
- Found and fixed any of the user reported bugs i could.
- Continued with the various core updates to 4.14.
- Updated to my own toolchain, 7.1.1 hardfloat, cortex-A15 optimized (it is similiar enough to krait to give us an edge).
- I will update this if i think of anything else.
Sticky: Kernel base is now pretty much somewhere between 3.16-3.18, however I will keep the versioning at 3.4 for certain functions that depend on kernel_version conditionals. Wifi hotspot disconnect issue still persists, but i'd like to think that one day it will be solved...
Can be found in MachineX Rom by the awesome @Andycar found here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...m-machinex-debloated-nogapps-s6-apps-t3573009
See my poorly formatted wiki for older updates:
https://github.com/robcore/machinex/wiki
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
LOGS
In Synapse, under 'LOGS AND PROFILES,' you will find a button that says ALL LOGS. Please press this button IMMEDIATELY after a bug appears that you would like to report, or after a boot if you get a kernel panic (RR).
From now on, without these logs present, I am no longer able to respond to the issues brought up by users.
FIXES
The following fixes involve sqlite and the "Setting Storage" application, also known as Settings Provider, or "com.android.providers.settings package" You will be working with a file named settings.db, and the 'system' table within.
Synapse Cancelled Fix: Get rid of the init.d scripts that are conflicting with UCI service startup. Also check the SuperSU section below...
Sound Fix: Either don't use an audio mod, or don't use Faux Sound Engine. That's all she wrote.
ScreenFlickerFix: Using an SQLITE DB Editor of your choice (from playstore), navigate to the "system" table and change values for "dim_screen" and "intelligent_screen_mode" to 0. *UPDATE* NOW AVAILABLE IN SYNAPSE UNDER THE "EXTRAS TAB"
ChargingTweak: Same as above but change "adaptive_fast_charging" to 0. This is only IF you are having issues which kernel driver-level fast charge. *UPDATE* NOW AVAILABLE IN SYNAPSE UNDER THE "EXTRAS TAB"
MASSIVE THANKYOU to @Andycar for making the above two fixes possible via Synapse!
SuperSU: I'm seeing a lot of permisison errors. Make sure, when using custom roms and kernels, that SuperSU is set to be as permissive as possible so you don't get knox blocked. Here are the crucial settings:
- ENABLE SU during boot
- DISABLE (untick) Mount namespaces separation
- Install SuperSU into /system
- ENABLE Trust System User
- Though I know many have security issues with the idea of allowing apps by default, doing so will make your experience way faster and provide you with less interuptions. At the very least I would set allow by default for Synapse.
These SU settings are kinda par for the course when it comes to android modding.

video.accelerate.hw
debug.mdpcomp.maxlayer
debug.egl.buffercount
debug.enabletr
ro.hwui.renderer.disable_opaque
persist.sys.media.use-awesome (this is default anyway, and is controlled via the nuplayer checkbox in developer settings, so it's unneccesary)
CHANGE:
persist.sys.storage_preload=0 to persist.sys.storage_preload=1
tunnel.decode=false to tunnel.decode=true
af.resampler.quality=4 (or anything else) to af.resampler.quality=255
ro.config.dha_ils_enable=false to ro.config.dha_ils_enable=true
#ro.config.dha_cached_max=4 (remove the #)
#ro.config.dha_empty_max=36 (remove the #)

sys.config.spcm_preload_enable=false to sys.config.spcm_preload_enable=true
ro.security.mdpp.ux=Disabled to ro.security.mdpp.ux=Enabled
For those having gaming issues, try removing them if you have them or adding them if you don't:
debug.performance.tuning=1
persist.sys.ui.hw=1
This might solve some issues for some folks.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
INSTALLATION NOTE: Your first boot will probably take longer than usual, because this kernel makes significant (but safe, and auto-backed-up) changes to your core operating system.
This kernel includes drivers that TW has been compatible with since JB (I checked),
but didn't update the kernel drivers for (the best example of this is Autosleep). That said, there are userspace controllers like thermald and mpdecision (a binary linked to kernel code)
that interfere with custom governors, hotplug drivers, etc, so I've made the decision to back them up in the kernel script, and have them disabled while using this kernel.
The UNINSTALLER restores everything to the state it was in before flashing machinex, which is why I so strongly emphasize its use.
PERFORMANCE AND POWER-SAVING
Regarding the age-old performance/battery-life settings questions floating around, I'm gonna go ahead and suggest the following website created by a very dedicated fella who started out with the exact line of questioning, and built a genius guide for users of custom kernels. Heck, it's useful for developers too.
His username here is @gsstudios and he is a recognized developer here on XDA. Deserves it too
http://androidmodguide.blogspot.ca/
and on XDA:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/general/ref-to-date-guide-cpu-governors-o-t3048957
I encourage you to rate that thread 5 stars, as it is the most comprehensive guide to kernel tunables you ever did see.
Note that I *probably* don't incorporate feature requests, as I have enough on my plate with bringing up the subsystems to a point where I can call this a stable release thread. Don't like it? YOU try backporting linux 3.9 scheduling code to a Samsung 3.4 base
On that note, if anyone here is savvy regarding kernel, C and (not "or") git development, I welcome coding partners because working with a team means better quality, better time management, and a better chance of incorporating fancy tweaks.
Cheers.
SYNAPSE:
Synapse has a default "warning" that comes up the first time you open it.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The initial warning is just a bug in the app because it's just been installed.
It's a design flaw in the app itself.
Synapse bases its stability check on whether the device is rebooted within 2 mins of being turned on.
Synapse does this on first boot for every single kernel that uses it,
because it has no previous internal boot settings to base its decision on,
and also because the app expects saved defaults when none have been established yet.
It is nothing to worry about.
Untick the option in settings called "stability check" going forward.
Breathe.
Does it work?
I'm on imperium kernel on Thor s7 rom, I was wondering if your kernel works with m919, tmo gs4, I was looking forward to trying out your rom.
Thank you
-jeff
Hey Jeff,
The answer is...maybe/probably. I know that's probably not what you want to hear, but let me explain.
My device is actually an i337m (which is why i included it in the thread title), but I've been using the international kernels and roms without *major* issues ever since I've owned it. This is built from international sources, and it is running well on Albe's awesome 9.0 rom, so I imagine it will perform well for the ported/upgraded roms for our phones.
So if you've been using the international roms/kernels without problems, I see no reason why this wouldn't work for you other than the bugs/current issues listed in the op.

Im gonna try this to imperium rom v15.
So what is the best settings for more battery life ?
Playing clash of clans a few times a day browsing tapatalk and using youtube all day.
I want my device to run cool. Lol
Update:
Got a random reboot from the first initial setup.
==========
Will let it run for a couple of days with the preset default settings.
I will use my old 2600mah for now and later on swap my 7500mah once i get some good battery stats.

Msm sleeper is a pretty sold hotplug for battery. I've noticed power efficient workqueues tend to slow things down/eat battery. Honestly I would try out msm sleeper for battery savings. Just note that games+youtube by design will eat into battery life. I will add some more power conscious governors soon. Also the usual stuff, the power your screen brightness the better, and turning off vibration/haptic will help.

I'm using this Kernel now on my GT-I9505 with THOR S7 v1.5 and so far a stable Kernel for me, many settings and alot settings I had never seen before as I like, very good! Just one thing til yet, Trying to set "Hellsactive" as CPU governor causes a freeze and a full reboot. Otherwise Kernel seems stable, using "Stockdemand" CPU Governor now. Keep going your work!

There was a failed message when i booted the synapse app.
Something link kernel image failed but not sure should have taken a screencapture and the log.
Either way its working now.

Well it's great to see you here man! Lol with screen colour I made some fixes and changes to sammy's mdnie code. Upon checking the code against their roms, it turns out they've never bothered to fix discrepancies between the values in settings and the driver itself! "Standard" and "dynamic" have been switched this whole time. Also "auto" has been a placebo all along, they have had the backend in place all along but never initialized it in the list of available screen modes. On that note, for even cooler stuff check out the "video_mode" scenario in synapse. It's AWFUL for battery life, but sharpens everything to a crisp. I'm pretty sure kcal helped with color too(?).
As for simple gpu gov, works just fine on MarkOne! Franco's simplification to it made it a freakin' powerhouse while being better for battery somehow.
Building MarkTwo as we speak, then I'll test it and it's out! I'm working on the gov settings in synapse while building too. The tunable settings are ticking me off.
Thermals, Kernel Managers and their affect on short and long term battery life.
As requested, by fellow LePro 3 owners, I created this thread for a discussion on the benefits of thermal management, using manual thermal settings, and sharing flashable thermals and user settings. To be clear I am not yet an expert on this subject, so I am learning along with everyone else. But, why not share the experience?
Of course we want our phones to last, while also pushing them to their limits, but in a safe and efficient manner. Recently our developers have shared their ideas on thermal management, and they have been gracious enough to allow us access to their own settings, that can be used across multiple builds. See the link below to download the first set of flashable thermal management options.
Recently, some of us have encountered shutdown issues, with some roms having battery stats reporting issues, unexpected shutdowns, and unrelated unrelated lockscreen issues. We users have found that often these troubled builds can be fixed by flashing a fix. Such as the thermals from a previous or other builds that did not have the same issue. Fortunately, it appears that we can use alternate perf and thermal management files that have not only offered a quick fix for some of these current issues, but also offers a longterm solution for using old, new, and future roms builds...collectively. :good:
The plan is to make this discussion much more extensive and simple
So consider this initial post to be an ever changing rough draft.
The end goal is to make it much easier for people to access and share their thermal management files or settings in one easily found central location, and hopefully for everyone to share their suggestions along the way
Helpful to Gamers who want safe power and speed.
Helpful to Non-Gamer's who want simply want stable performance, long battery life
Help everyone by helping us learn to optimize our phones to last for the longterm.
For me, no more repeating the same stuff over and over on various Rom threads, or private messages. No more having trouble digging through threads to find a recommended thermal or setting. So please participate, we can keep the OP updated whenever anything new comes along. Should I get access to something new I will add it to the Megadrive and make a post
Inventory
So far we have the thermals from Lineage, AEX, Balkan, AICP, EUI and in my view one the best is the latest by Jabashque. The idea of this post is to share the thermal settings so that they can be used on whichever ROM you want to try out.
Finally, you do not necessarily need to use these thermals unless you have an issue with general usage, heat or battery life. However, you will immediately notice the benefits.
Edit ( Updated Info)
Regarding kernels: Personally, I use BlackScreen 6.3, it has a long list of governors and I like options.
Currently the best thermal option is the Jabashque edit ( Thermal Fix 7 ) Get it Here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=78717015&postcount=18
These thermals work!
Over the past 2 weeks, I have gone back and tried several old ROMs, and these thermal and profiles make those old Roms perform so much better! For example, the September 3rd JMXL version of DotOS.: Yes, Its outstanding with the Sergey thermal. BootLegger's is also much improved, and it was already pretty great as it was. The Miui ROMs, are significantly improved by far! etc.
Of course we have so many great Roms. Occasionally, we get a build that is experimental and it may have unexpected issues. We have seen over the past week that flashing an alternate thermal is a perfect way to save the installation without having to revert to an earlier build. I mentioned old Roms above, they also work on every single Pie Rom.

Jabasque's thermals are in the Jabashque folder. Version 1 and 2 :
Probably shouldn't result in any difference if not gaming.
"Most likely, it would only be noticeable if you're not throttled down to 1440/1900MHz and you're running something that's using 100% cpu" ( Jabashque)
What to use
If you are wanting long battery life and low temperatures use Sergey's thermal or JaBashque version 1
If you want stock EUI faster throttling but slightly higher temps use the ShivateJappedi EUI thermal.
If you want to leave your cores unchanged from the default setting with higher temp throttling, more full power access and yet still safe while use JaBashque 6 Its a rework of the EUI 30s thermals designed to work better on modern Pie Roms : See more information here: https://review.lineageos.org/c/LineageOS/android_device_leeco_zl1/+/238809
Soon, I will create a post in the reserved section below to deeply define the details and differences between these thermals. Because while they all have similarities, they are also very different from one another.
In addition, I plan to add various kernel manager settings for various uses : Gaming, Long Life etc.
Finally, even when moving to another Rom. kernel manager programs such as Ex Kernel Manager will allow you to import and use saved profiles. It seems that it is possible to save the best of each of these thermals by saving the profiles of each. We can share those settings! Then later you can manually choose within your kernel manager which settings you want to use by simply importing choosing a preferred profile.
I hope this clears up the confusion. As mentioned this is a work in progress that was requested by 3 people. This is just the beginning of this discussion that will help everyone understand how to use Kernel Managers and the add-on thermals patches. I need to do some further research to make it all worthwhile . For example, although I love the elementalX governor, I haven't researched it enough to explain why I think it's better. So I plan to find out specifically what it's actually doing vs what other governors do, and how does changing sample rates, and wake locks affect performance and battery life etc.
If there are any experts out there? Please chime in and contribute.
See Updated information from Jabashque, which explains the differences between patch 1 and patch 2

Installation
Dirty flash the patch that you want to use..thats it.
If you want to try a different patch, dirty flash the Rom, reflash Magisk and dirty flash the patch
You can manually adjust settings by going to /vendor/etc/thermal-engine.conf
Update from JaBashque Edit April 21 2019: ( I use ThermalFix7, its my personal favorite/ it is the best and the safest period.)
@tsongming
Hey, after seeing your thread about thermals, I felt I should write an explanation about how my v1 and v2 differ from stock EUI thermals that you could add to that forum post, since the one you have on there was me describing the difference between v1 and v2, not stock EUI: "JaBashque"
There are two different set of sensors that the original config monitors for the CPU:
the CPU temp sensors (tsens_tz_sensor{4,6,9,11}) and xo_therm_buf. The CPU temp sensors measure the temps of the cores themselves. xo_therm_buf measures what seems to be some sort of overall temperature, though I'm not sure what in particular. However, xo_therm_buf does correlate more directly with how hot your phone feels.
Original:
thermal-engine rapidly throttles your CPU down to 902MHz on the little cores and 825MHz on the big cores when any one of the cores hits 95C, and stops only when the hottest core drops back to 65C. When xo_therm_buf gets to 43C, thermal-engine slowly throttles all your cores to 902MHZ little and 825MHz big until xo_therm_buf drops back to 40C.
Patchset 1:
thermal-engine rapidly throttles your CPU down to 902MHz on the little cores and 825MHz on the big cores when any one of the cores hits 85C, and stops only when the hottest core drops back to 65C. When xo_therm_buf gets to 37C, thermal-engine throttles all your cores to 1440MHZ little and 1900MHz big until xo_therm_buf drops back to 34C. When xo_therm_buf gets to 43C, thermal-engine throttles all your cores to 1132MHZ little and 1363MHz big until xo_therm_buf drops back to 40C. When xo_therm_buf gets to 50C, thermal-engine throttles all your cores to 979MHZ little and 1132MHz big until xo_therm_buf drops back to 43C.
Patchset 2:
thermal-engine throttles your CPU down to 1516MHz on the little cores and 2054MHz on the big cores when any one of the cores hits 95C, and stops only when the hottest core drops back to 65C.
This change was made because I realized that the previous version still had a situation where the CPU performance can tank unpredictably. xo_therm_buf-related CPU throttling is same as Patchset 1.
Thanks to JaBashque for sharing his work! Patch-set 2 is my personal preference. Although the Sergey Perf + Combo is also very good.
@tsongming
Thank you very much for listen us and always give your help.
Rigth now I am on BaikalOS 28th December 2018, if I want to flash any Profile of those, what I should to do (Clean flash? This first, later that etc... and Wich of them I should ti flash for best battery, I do not play on movil)
I am very curious for test this...
I have x722, I do not play. I am now on aex 5.7 oreo. The most depends on the battery, so which zip to flash ? This is a great topic.

You can dirty flash these thermals.
Personally I like Sergey and Jabashque version 2 the best so far on Pie roms.
The Shivate patch works really well on Marshmallow, Nougat and Oreo.
The Sergey patch works really well on Oreo and Pie, I haven't tried it on Nougat Roms yet.
You can manually adjust settings by going to /vendor/etc/thermal-engine.conf and In this same folder ( vendor/etc) you can also make audio changes, and I am not talking about policies and Tasha.xml files, although you would make changes to those files too, if wanted. This will be something that we can discuss in more detail soon.

Either the Sergey or the JaBashque 2 with be perfect, depending on what you want.
Use Sergey if your goal is battery saving.
Use JaBashque 2 if you want better gaming performance.
@tsongming thank you for this useful thread. I just have one question. I noticed that sergey's thermal file you uploaded comes also with perf so do you know is it maybe EUI perf and if not is it possible to upload just sergey's thermal without perf? Thanks.
I'm using aex 6.2 and i play a lot of games, but i looking for something that gives the power to run the games and after that (of course after some time without using the cellphone to cooldown) use the phone without worry of him overheat with simple use like 39 or 37 ºC. Do you have something like that?
I have a x722

Sure, I can extract the perf, I will do that and add it to a separate folder so that there are two options.
Edit: Here is the Sergey thermal only
I removed the perf and added the additional key edit options from the Jabashque patch. So this a combo patch.
Use at your own risk
However, I have tested this and it works fine. I wanted to give the caveat that I am a Noob at this! But its okay. FYI: all I did was remove the perf, so now the perf will come from the rom and I added the Moshe key feature, which some Roms such as AICP includes anyway.

So, thank you for your work!!One question,i am at the last AICP Pie,do you believe is better to flash one of these or stay with the settings of AICP?
Thanks in advance!
Don't work
I used to play pubg and the big stay on 1,4 ghz and little on 1,0 ghz

If you are not having any issues, then don't install any of these.
However, if you want to try it, keep a record of your existing performance, battery life, heat levels for battery and CPU (when idle) and compare that against using these thermals.
If you flash one of these thermals and don't like it. You can quickly return to your previous settings by dirty flashing your rom, or by restoring the system part of a nandroid backup.

So which one of the 5 thermals did you try? Some of them include perf
Understand that you still have to setup your kernel manager. If you are wanting to use it for Gaming use the JaBashque version 2 to and leave the cores on the highest setting.
Yes, it works. It works for me a and a lot of other people on Telegram
If you want low temperatures and long battery life underclock the cores at idle my battery hovers around 85 F and the CPU are around 100-105F
Just so you know you can access your thermal.conf file and edit it manually to increase your thermal limit in /vendor/etc/thermal-engine.conf
Next, save a copy of your existing current setup as a profile, so you can easy switch from one to another with ease and easily compare it to the changes of using an alternative file. You can tweak it to the settings that you are wanting...Just keep safety in mind or you could burn up your CPU.
UpDate!
@jabashque has spent time recently improving his thermals further, and released several new versions .
The latest and greatest is now version 6!
Get it here: https://mega.nz/#!pFoSRaQA!R068WV-YltbQAFzuc3aH72z_OPyrN2uBjgsux2h0dNY
If you like it, please thank him!
Anyone who is using the last build of Jabashque 6 . It has a small error with he tthermal.
Flash this zip file from my Mega drive.

I want to install Bootleggers os 8.1 on x722 and I have a question: after installing romu and gapps and initial configuration I can flash BS5.1-r3 AND thermal.zip a magisk mantle? will thermal.zip not interfere with BS? Thank you.

Sorry I haven't been on XDA much recently, and never received the notification.
If you use Bootleggers, the stock kernel is fine. But blackScreen 6.3 will work fine and it gives you more options. You flash the thermal at anytime. I recommend the Thermal-fix7 which is Jabashque 6 that I edited to fix a typo. No there is no conflict
