So despite Rohan's note below, we're ok flashing the kernel over the latest CM10 nightlies afterall? By the sound of a few of the replies, that seems to be the case. I actually did this myself and I don't see any problems either but if there's something I should be paying attention to re: ramdisk I'd like to be aware of that.

A note to everyone else: The ramdisk changed for CM nightlies from today onwards, so do not use this kernel for those builds. I'll try to get a new build out ASAP so that you guys can keep using the up to date nightlies.

No Frills vs. Performance tab in AOKP?

If i set No Frills on boot, do i need to do anything to the performance settings in the AOKP system performance settings besides make sure set on boot is not checked there? I don't want to have two CPU tuners fighting each other, thanks for any help!

Just make sure set on boot in ROM Control is off
The reason why I dont suggest using ROM Control right now is because its set on boot option is kinda buggy. No frills has some nice safety features as well.

Dude, take a chill pill. I obviously read the OP, and just still have questions. And thanks blacklisted. I'm now running this kernel on CM10 and it works awesome. Improved battery life.

Rohan I am on CM10 nightly 10/2, no problems so far.

Running great at 1.7GHz on the newest AOKP build. I actually had a couple of random reboots on the stock kernel but haven't had any since flashing this one. Many thanks, Rohan.

your response to people kindly answering your questions is to blacklist them?

I guess I know who i'm not helping in the future.

Whats the differences between No Frills and SetCPU?
Click to expand...

I'm certain they are very similar. No frills may have different governors. I cant say for sure. I have used set CPU before but rohan recommends no frills so I went with it. Everything working like a charm!! Perfect combination with the nightly I am on.

Governors are in the kernel... All apps will have access to all the governors that the kernel supports

I'm running with set at boot, 1.5 ghz and smartassv2 and sio, seems to work fine. What kind of bug does set on boot supposed to be?

They are very similar, I believe people suggest no frills because its free in the market

People suggest no frills over setcpu for one real reason. Setcpu has a lot of overhead, wakes the phone more, and just generally is more active. No frills is less resource heavy(simpler), and as such, it is more reliable(harder to screw up)

Wait... so ... what about "Set on boot" through ROM Control in AOKP settings?

Also... when setting it to the same settings in No Frills (smartassv2, sio, 1.5ghz, apply on boot), it seems to make my phone lock at 1.5 Ghz. It's not going down at all.

Through ROM controls in aokp make sure that it is not set on boot. Just use no frills for it.

I am not sure about it being locked at 1.5Ghz.I have not had that issue.

    rohan.kernel alpha builds
    for the HTC One XL​

    Meant for AOSP JB 4.1.X ROMs ONLY
    THIS WILL NOT WORK ON 4.2.X ROMS!!!    ​

    Features:
    Code: 
    -Overclock-able to 2.0ghz
-Undervolted
-Loads of CPU Governors (recommended: intellidemand)
-Loads of I/O Schedulers (recommended: simple i/o)
-User controllable voltage table based off of sysfs
-XZ Compression
-sweep2wake
-Linux 3.0.57 (latest release from 3.0.x branch)
-GCC 4.7.2 Linaro Toolchain Compilation
-lowmemorykiller fixes
-Tweaked I/O Schedulers
-zRAM enabled
-Tweaked KSM
-Disabled fsync
-Increased readahead buffer
-self-powered OTG support
-NTFS read/write support
-decreased cache pressure for faster fs
-camera app flash till 5%
-various other tweaks for stability and performance

    HOW TO INSTALL:
    If you are on the older HBoot:
    1) Flash the kernel zip in recovery
    2) Wipe dalvik cache
    3) Reboot and configure it to your liking

    If you are on the newer HBoot:
    1) Flash the kernel boot.img from the zip using fastboot
    2) Reboot into recovery
    3) Flash the kernel zip to install the modules
    4) Wipe your dalvik cache
    5) Reboot and configure it to your liking

    Want to see this kernel in action? Watch this video!


    Thanks to XsMagical and Team Nocturnal for the video!​

    What is coming soon:
    Code: 
    -Fast Charge for ROMs that support it (such as AOKP JB)

    What I hope to add but no promises:
    Code: 
    -MSM DCVS governor
-GPU control
-Gamma/Color control (tightly integrated... there is loose integration with current 3rd party apps)

    What is never coming so don't ask:
    Code: 
    -BS patches and features

    Download: http://code.google.com/p/rohan-kernel-evita/downloads/list
    b6 and onwards include two versions: a NORMAL version and a NOVC version. First try the NORMAL version. If that does not work correctly, then try the NOVC version, which includes all features except voltage control.
    Click to expand...
    Click to collapse
    Recommended values:
    192mhz Minimum
    1.98ghz Max
    I/O: sio
    CPU Gov: intellidemand

    Use an app like No Frills CPU Control and set the values you want at boot.

    These are extremely alpha builds. They are not fully tested and may brick your device. If something does happen to your device, you are not to blame myself or any others involved in this kernel. Flashing this is solely your responsibility and if something happens, blame yourself. Always make a backup before flashing. Making a nandroid of your boot partition takes a few seconds but could help you save your device from bricking.


    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------​

    My goal for this kernel is to make it simply an enhanced stock JB kernel.

    If you enjoy my work or would like to encourage further development, then please consider donating. All of my money comes from donations as I am currently in high school. They are never required but always appreciated. My link is under my name on the left.

    I was in the middle of building Build 5 of the kernel when my power went out T_T lol

    I've been gone for the past few days because as expected, I lost power due to the storm. It did some pretty major damage to my house, but luckily no one was injured. About half our roof is gone, along with 3 trees and a window is shattered. Besides that though, everything is good.

    Currently I don't have power. and I probably wont until early next week. The state of my town is insane right now; in a road near me, every 100 meters or so there is a live wire down with a huge 50ft tree on top of it. This won't be cleaned up for a long time. I haven't had school for the past week either, and I probably won't next week either, since pretty much 90% of my town doesn't have power still.

    I'm currently at my Mom's work, since they have electricity and power, along with internet. I'll be here for the next few days during the daytime I guess, so feel free to PM me.

    Hope anyone else who was affected by this terrible storm is okay- just remember none of the material stuff matters; keep your family safe.

    I'll answer whatever questions you guys have in a bit. Whenever I get power back, I'll also release Build 5 of the kernel, with sweep2wake. Its in my kernel git also, and it should work fine, so if any of you want to build the kernel and release it unofficially, thats fine by me. The machine I'm on right now isn't set up for anything so I cant do much of anything on it though :)

    I've been working on this today, heres what I've accomplished:

    *Better stability for those of you who were having issues- i nailed down a bug that was screwing with the CPU clock speed with certain governors

    *Initial support for the MSM-DCVS governor (still not functional and crashes frequently). Once I get this governor up to speed, it will hopefully become the default governor (its build specifically for the Krait processors by Qualcomm, meant to demonstrate how they can go from high speeds, high loads, to low speeds in an instant- a.k.a. really good battery life and really good performance). It does have a ton of dependencies though, so it will take some time to get it working correctly. It scales and controls nearly every part of the system (everything from the CPU, to the GPU, to the various kernel modules). The governor really is a thing of beauty.

    *Initial files for sweep2wake. Still trying to get it to build properly, more info coming soon.

    OTG will be coming whenever the block on building due to the qcom repos gets fixed. Besides those things, I'm curious, what other features/things do you guys want to see in this kernel? Besides the normal optimizations, etc.
