Deadline

Looks good, only thing is the iosched tunables tend to not work via init.d unless you put in a sleep to make the script wait to perform the commands, so I'd put them at the end, with a sleep 35 before. Really though, those are the defaults in r365 so you don't need to set them via init.d at all.

So far we think so, yeah. malaroth and franco are still tweaking some things but they're pretty much the same. boostpulse_duration was 80000 in r364, and is 100000 in r365, but we always have boost set to 0 (off) so it doesn't matter.

Trying out Deadline Scheduler tweaks via script

read_expire: 351
write_expire: 3500
writes_starved: 6
front_merges: 1
fifo_batch: 1

Thanks for the suggestions. Are they purely for performance?

@malaroth, I have been running your ROW tweaks for a full 24 hour now, initial impression is pretty good, there's noticeable improvement, although deadline is still a tad bit smoother, it doesn't struggle as much when writing apps to /data for example, I can still smoothly type on the keyboard (It still stutters though) while Play Store is updating a bunch of apps, as well as installing large games. Of course that's just some very basic testing without enough sample for a proper result, I'll try it for a few more days and see how it goes.

Re: [KERNEL][GPL][GN] franco.Kernel r365 -> 4.2.2 | r364 -> 4.2 | r300 -> 4.1

So, I added some of the deadline tweaks into my Spectrum kernel and along with some tweaks to ondemand and it seems to be noticeably smoother.

Sorry Franco cut out my tongue and chopped off my fingers so I couldn't divulg info, typing with my nose. I don't know what is being implemented in any version so *shrugs* glad they're working good for y'all. I still like deadline better

I'm not done with row yet... just gotta figure what's needed to work out the kinks. And you cfq fans....might be awhile it's being a pain in the osm0sis

I have a problem with the Franco Kernel. Time ago before applying an OTA I restored the original kernel and then I applied the update. But with Android 4.2.x even if I restore the original kernel saved before installing the Franco I always get an error when I apply the OTA? Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Yes, I do a fresh install, I backup the original Kernel and then I flash the Franco Kernel. But when I restore the original kernel I can't apply the OTA

PS: the error is --> (Status 7)

vbus_tuna_otg sounds like virtual bus for USB OTG devices. But for the life of me I can't figure out why this is my largest wakelock when I have yet to use OTG on my device. I wonder if its just constantly checking to see if there is a device attached. I wonder if we can tweak polling in the kernel to turn it down?


I have the vbus_tuna_otg wakelock for most of my device on time, i had usb port problem, and ghost charging issue and some time later that fixed itself, but i had this problem going on.. any way to let os ignore this wakelock and let phone go to sleep

You need to read the error. Likely has nothing to do with the kernel if you properly reflashed stock.

With or without the comment, it still don't work. None of the command in the file. Should I put them in separate files?

Also I experienced some play store related freezes, and I noticed they happen ONLY when some app is updating/downloading and the screen is about to turn off. If I keep using the device everything is fine.

Did you create the file on PC and copy to phone? My only thought is you have the wrong end-of-line formatting.

this strange problem happened to me the same way

the issue was solved for me by putting the "sleep 35" command to the second line of the script after #!/system/bin/sh

Give it a try, your script should look like this:

#!/system/bin/sh
sleep 35
# chmod -R 755 /system/etc/init.d

echo "interactive" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor
echo 15000 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/interactive/above_hispeed_delay
echo 95 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/interactive/go_hispeed_load
echo 729600 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/interactive/hispeed_freq
echo 45000 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/interactive/min_sample_time
echo 15000 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/interactive/timer_rate
echo 85 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/interactive/target_loads

echo "deadline" > /sys/block/mmcblk0/queue/scheduler
echo 512 > /sys/block/mmcblk0/queue/read_ahead_kb

sleep 2

echo -5 > /sys/module/panel_s6e8aa0/parameters/contrast
echo "-4 0 5" > /sys/class/misc/colorcontrol/v1_offset

My really non professional feeling about 4.2.2+r365: phone is a bit slower and battery life is worse than in 4.2.1.

I won't go into details. I just used same Franco kernel settings as always. No changes.

miracast

Yup!! If you need more boot options, long press 'Power Off'.
The best thing is Wireless Display/Miracast is enabled. So it'll be fun to test once a Miracast certified adapter with official firmware is released. All in all, it runs great with Franco.

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus

Is miracast enabled in r365? I am running it and can't find an option to enable wireless displays, I was hoping to test with the new f/w on the Netgear PTV3000 box.

Give it a try, your script should look like this:

I tried your script, but still no success. I think I'm giving up and waiting for Minco v6 with new franco kernel which should have those values as default

Did you create the file on PC and copy to phone? My only thought is you have the wrong end-of-line formatting.D

My first attempt was a file created on PC, then I tried writing it with OfficeSuite directly on the phone, but I had no better luck. :(

You need to use a simple text editor instead of something that puts formatting in. Something like notepad++ in windows would work.

Miracast/Wireless Display is not enabled through the kernel. It's enabled through the ROM. The ROM I use that has it enabled is Shiny (only posted about it in this thread as malaroth was looking for a stock ROM).

As of now, it still hasn't worked with the GNEX. The GNEX is missing the libstagefright_hdcp.so file. Even with the file ported from the N4; using the PTV3000 won't work as PTV3000 REQUIRES HDCP. It seems to not connect right so it'll probably be best if the PTV3000 doesn't require HDCP. The N4 works with PTV300 because it has the a H264 decoder which I assume disables HDCP.

I've read that ALLSHARE works because it does NOT REQUIRE HDCP but I haven't tested it myself or known anyone personally that has tested it. I also heard CM made some changes to their build that works.

I have a buddy I work with that is currently testing all this on his GNEX/PTV3000 and provides me with updates.

    I hate big OPs.

    Works on all roms. r390 and newer versions are ONLY for 4.3 or newer.

    F.A.Q:
    1. My device rebooted or crashed, how can I help?
    A: Get me /proc/last_kmsg on pastie.org.
    2. Battery sucks, my device is not entering deep sleep. FIX PLOX!
    A: Fix it yourself, it's an app waking your device up not the kernel's problem
    3. Signal is dropping since I flashed the kernel, amg u sucks!
    A: The kernel has nothing to do with gsm/cmda signal. Make sure you have the latest radios
    4. Do I need to wipe anything when flashing this kernel?
    A: No.
    5. Does this kernel has X or Y mod?
    A: Learn to read, everything you need to know is in the features list, changelog or public repo.

    Just woken up and feel like my head is going to explode already this last 5 pages is crazy

    haha. It's been a crazy two days. :) But it's been a blast.

    Now, sleep is over, time to get back to work!

    I got these from that thread:

    so it makes much sense, to make the min_sample_time as low as possible (?), but how low? what's the most appropriate sample time for battery and performance?

    for the timer_rate, franco suggested 30k to consider the CPUs latency. What has it to do with the cpu's latency?

    he also said min_sample_time doesn't have to be in multiple of timer_rate.
    in my case, all my timers are in 20k, which works fine as of now. But i must be missing some things, because I just saw somebody post these values, and no detailed explanation for having them.

    Yes and no. Here's what we're thinkin' so far.

    THIS POST WILL BE A RECAP OF THE LAST FEW PAGES OF RESEARCH! :)

    This was my original settings that I've been using for weeks:
    above_hispeed_delay: 20000
    go_hispeed_load: 50
    min_sample_time: 40000
    timer_rate: 20000
    So to make the short hand easier, we kept it in that order and just said: 20000/50/40000/20000 became 20k/50/40k/20k became 2/5/4/2. Make sense?

    Here is a breakdown of what they each mean:
    -above_hispeed_delay: Once speed is set to hispeed_freq, wait for this long before bumping speed higher in response to continued high load.
    -go_hispeed_load: The CPU load at which to ramp to the intermediate "hi speed".
    -min_sample_time: The minimum amount of time to spend at a frequency before we can ramp down.
    -timer_rate: Sample rate for reevaluating cpu load when the system is not idle.

    This is a good explanation that I wrote back on page 3038:
    -above_hispeed_delay: higher = better battery, lower = better performance. (100k is default)
    -go_hispeed_load:.......higher = better battery, lower = better performance. (50 is default)
    -min_sample_time:......lower = better battery, higher = better performance. (60k is default)
    -timer_rate:.................higher = better battery, lower = better performance. (20k is default)
    So Google's default is 10/5/6/2. Lower numbers are all better for performance except min_sample_time (there higher is faster). So our goal is to find a sweet spot.

    The default 10 is for "Once speed is set to hispeed_freq, wait for this long before bumping speed higher in response to continued high load." So we think 10 is too high, but if you go too low, then you'll be using the higher freqs a lot more than you need and it will hurt the battery. So we are leaning towards 6 (60000) for above_hispeed_delay.

    The default 5 is for "when the CPU hits X% amount of load, then jump to the hispeed_freq." Again if this one is too low then it will cause the higher freqs to be used more often then they need, so we actually turn go_hispeed_load up a little bit to 7 (70).

    The default 6 is for "how long do I wait before lowering the clock speed from what it's currently at." So the lower we put this, the better battery will be. We're still trying to decide between 3 (30000) and 5 (50000). Osm0sis is getting more lag at lower levels, and finds the best performance mark at 5. So we turn min_sample_time down a little from stock to help with the battery.

    The default 2 is for "wait this long before changing the clockspeeds from what it's at now." While technically 2 sounds better because it's changing more often, Franco believes that by setting the timer_rate to be the same thing as the CPU sample_rate (which is preset at 30000), then that will make the CPU more efficient at switching. So we increased it from 2 (20000) to 3 (30000).

    So TO RECAP: Using the stuff from above, Google's defaults for these settings are 10/5/6/2 and we are changing them to 6/7/3/3 or 6/7/5/3 (again, still testing that third number for the min_sample_time).

    Does that make sense for everyone interested in following along? Any questions? Feel free to try out these settings yourself (the easiest way is with Franco's app or something like Trickster). We want as much feedback as possible on this.
    The next kernel release will have the totally tweaked settings for everyone to test without having to change their own stuff.

    Kernel Emergency Settings Reset Zip

    Alright so here's something that's been requested for awhile.

    I wrote it up recently with Franco's stamp of approval, so I'm posting it here now. Please direct people back to this post from other threads.

    This can/should be everyone's go-to when experiencing problems after updating to a new kernel build, you get stuck in a bootloop, or you think there's a conflict between ROM and kernel (or kernel tweaking app) you can't track down, since likely some leftover settings (voltages, etc.) are at fault. It's also useful if you just want to make sure you're running clean defaults. This should work on any device franco.Kernel and f.Ku support, as well as a variety of other devices, kernels and control apps: eXperience (Free/Pro), GLaDOS Control, TricksterMod, Trinity Kernel Toolbox, ROM Toolbox (Lite/Pro), SetCPU, Faux123 Kernel Enhancement Project, Performance Control and Synapse.

    Flashing this via custom recovery of your choice will delete the kernel app settings file(s), disable init.d and userinit.d scripts by moving them to a subfolder (/system/etc/init.d/off/ and /data/local/userinit.d/off/ respectively) and wipe cache and dalvik-cache for good measure.

    Hopefully it helps!


    Note: If your ROM has a Performance/Tweaking App built-in you should also manually disable any Set On Boot options it has. For example, I couldn't include clearing CM's Advanced Settings since they're built into the main com.android.settings/Settings.apk along with a lot of other Android OS settings (APNs, Developer Options, etc.), so to run clean and without conflicts on CM you need to unset them yourself.

    You should also avoid having more than one control app installed at a time. Conflicts have been reported even with everything "unset" in two apps.

    I also chose not to disable anything your ROM may have in /data/cron or /system/addon.d since some rely on it heavily, so you can choose to review those directories' contents and whether you want to leave them enabled on your own. I also left out disabling sysctl.conf since that's done by f.K and the Franco's Dev Team scripts, and also seemed a bit heavy-handed for this zip script.

    There are some battery savings from UVing but they aren't extreme. If you do not know how UVing works and/or you can't/won't read to properly build your own voltage profile, then just stick with the defaults Franco has already UVed. If you do still want to learn to UV then, once again, everyone should build their own voltage profile for their own device. Read this, this, this, and this for starters on UV methods. You don't know how your device will do until you learn and try.

    As a sidenote, if anyone else wants to share their voltages for comparison the easiest way is to copy the contents of the 3 voltage files (mpu/iva/core) in /sys/class/misc/customvoltage/ - they look (almost) exactly as the sections above.
    Fsync on just in case anything ever happens I want my data protected. That said I do disable it temporarily if I ever want a bit more performance in an app or game. SR is hardcoded disabled in the latest builds.

    The other thing worth noting is I set my color settings on boot with an init.d script. Doing it that way you can end up with a completely different result from the same values. The contrast, blacks and colors are much more natural. Also it's seamless which is nice; they take effect during the Google logo. Attached is my init.d script for that. Alter it to your own color settings, remove the .txt extension, push to /system/etc/init.d/ and set the correct perms; rwxr-xr-x (chmod -R 755 /system/etc/init.d in Terminal Emulator).

    900colorsettings can be found with my other init.d scripts (from Franco Dev Team), here: https://s.basketbuild.com/filedl/devs?dev=osm0sis&dl=osm0sis/scripts/900colorsettings

    Note: On my new replacement screen, setting the color multiplier too early in the boot (any time before the boot animation) made everything look dark, oversaturated, uncontrasted and dusky; basically the opposite of the way it used to work on my old panel. Adding sleep 2; before that line in the init.d script fixed this, so experiment if your panel is more like my new one, and the init.d as-is after you put in your settings makes it look worse.

    [ New init.d script with my new colors. I need the sleep 4 because of my problem in my "Note" above, so comment it out if you don't need it, it will make it look worse. Previous download counts were 1880, 646, and 307. Thanks everyone! ]
