Dont forget:
Flashing this Kernel voids your warranty. And as with any custom kernel it comes with the usual dangers/ side effects such as, but not limited to, explosions, wars, spontaneous combustion, your pet forgetting all his/her tricks, retrograde and anterograde amnesia, interpersonal alienation, a number of psychosomatic, neurological, and metaphysical complaints, and in general an overall disturbance in the "order of things". Having said all that, WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE for anything happening to your phone as a result of you flashing this kernel...

Thank you so much !!

Thanks a lot. First kernel for N4, amazing. Everything works nice for me. S2S works nice but I'm unable to make S2W working.
Big thanks for your work.

Agree to the kernel driver and the configs match the N910F source code. According to my knowledge, the N910T source code is indeed for the N910F version but some things just go.

That with the ramdisk is already clear to me that it is the N910F. My concern is mainly about the kernel driver (source / drivers) do not have problems with N910F. Well the N910F Source code coming soon

[30 October 2014] [Kernel] [SM-910F] N4 AEL Kernel
The source is unified across the board when it comes to the Snapdragon version. The only difference is which carrier's build script is in the root folder. You can find all of the configs for every one of them in the tmo source, though.
I don't intend to cover anything outside of North America, so Europe is all you. I'm sending people here as long as that isn't an issue.

This kernel also works perfectly on my Canadian SM-N910W8 in case any Canadian users are wondering

glad to see u here. any beta for 910g ?

These are the configs of the EU version in source code is known to me. Nevertheless, what is presently as the internal kernel drivers are different in N910F source . Whether there are differences between the drivers you can not say at present . Presumably it does nothing but surely I 'm not .
Here is a problem from a German forum:

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.
E _N_J_O_Y !!!

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.

That's a good developer right there! Got it working in 4 days, isn't that awesome?
The kernel works pretty well, we'll be testing configurations and post the ones we think are the best.
Here you have some screenshots!

Woke up to a great surprise. Will be testing with Zen hotplug!

there is one small bug to be tested.. phone gets freezed randomly..
still not able to get logs...
i dont have a phone with me so im depending on you guys..
new build is now being tested...

Awesome! WIll be testing in some time!

Awesome... Thanks for the kernel... Also reserved for my configs for the kernel.
Thanks again dev.
From my Exodised lettuce with Sandy Kernel

how to revert back to stock kernel ? only the kernel and not losing data ? please suggest

New Build is Ready.. Not Beta.. Release Candidate.. .
Highlights.. Reduced Image Size by 30% and so is performance and other features enhanced....
Ill test it for a day and if found good.. will release it.. ...

Using this kernel I have a lower core temperature (30° normally, using max 40°) and the battery in standby was amazing.
I changed this settings:
Big: min 384, max 1536, governor alucard;
LITTLE: min 384, max 1248, governor alucard;
Alucard Hotplug: minimum CPU online 2, max 8, max screen off 3.

these hotplugs are optimized for big.LITTLE are they?

I played around with the settings and ran various test to look for the best config for this kernel. But hey, look at that standy at the end! Literally 0% drain.

i havent had any luck, i looked at the source and its from a device with only 4 cores. none of the hotplugs are designed for big.LITTLE its seems

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 to respective model number (E612/P705)
Q: Which frequency is the safest
A: The default frequency, 800MHz, is the safest!
But, there's no harm in overclocking upto 1100MHz.
You MAY face some issues on 1100MHz-1300MHz, but 1050MHz is stable as 'rock'!
Q: WiFi doesnt work for me
A: Reflash ROM and Kernel
Undervolt Interface:
The current voltage information is available at:
Code:
Code:
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/vdd_levels
Defaults for L5:
Code:
Code:
[email protected]:/ # cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/vdd_levels
245760: 3
320000: 4
480000: 5
600000: 6
800000: 7
900000: 7
950000: 7
1000000: 7
1050000: 7
1150000: 7
1200000: 7
1250000: 7
1300000: 7
To change for example the voltage level of the 800000 frequency, you could do:
Code:
Code:
echo '800000 6' > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/vdd_levels
If you cat this file again, you should see that the voltage level is picked up.
The new voltage level is picked up when the CPU will scale to the particular frequency level.

Thanks a lot.

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

No, dont try flash this, is only for aosp, LOS and its variants

thank you, that problem solved. and can you explain difference Liberio and Ubertcc.. ?.

thank you so much for this kernel. Smooth and good battery
hope you keep dev this kernel

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 ?
