Thanks for the scripts fellas and wish you all Happy new year!

Can you tell me step by step what you do to apply ghostpepper? Maybe something is creating a problem

If you used the AKT script i don't think you should have any issues at all. Like i mentioned, your usage matters, you seem to be a moderate user, and the ROM+Kernel also matters. Sometimes a dirty flash, or deleting of a system app causes unwanted battery drain. Freezing system apps is a lot better. Doing this doesn't necessarily improve your SOT, but it can. Plus, you didn't mention anything about your idle drain. You might be actually having decent SOT with heavy idle/standby drain. I recommend you give more info, which would help the rest of us here to understand your problem and then offer some help, if it can be offered.

Deleting Xposed somehow solved the issue. Battery is great now and im really happy with ghostpepper. Thanks!

Burnout PR3

After the exceedingly fast performance achieved on the last Burnout_PR2_golden, I turned my head to the more recent version of our platform, and that is Nougat. And after assessing the situation of Nougat with Burnout PR2 I found out that I was overkilling it on Nougat. In car analogy (my favourite! ), Burnout_PR2 in Nougat was like using Nitrous bottles blindly all over the track, which made me "over rev" the car while shifting, and lose control in the corners (games). While the latter may not be of a serious problem (since some users may just go in straights and not in the gaming corners), the former was a serious problem, and car enthusiasts may know that over revving a car in the shifts won't slow you down that much, but it does not make the car reach its utmost peak speed for every shift range, not to mention that it is exceedingly hard on the engine, and we don't want that. For those who just think I was writing some nasty spells, Burnout_PR2 brought the hammer down too much that the phone was using extraordinary power, aiming to achieve the max performance, which was fine on MM (except for gaming), but on Nougat, it was an overkill by far too much to be ignored. After all, Burnout aims at max performance while maintaining decent battery backup so that….you can actually enjoy the profile on the phone in the day and not have your phone down in 30 minutes
As for gaming, I am not that much of a gamer, but I have came across a game named "Drive Ahead" and set it as my baseline for tweaking. And to my luck, this game used to stick at max freq on the big cores in MM, so I went ahead and tweaked for efficiency based on the stats reported after 15% drain while playing that game. Here is what I achieved with the latest Burnout_PR3 on CM14.1 LineageOS

Quote:

Burnout_PR2: 15% >> 30 minutes (30%/hr active drain rate)
Burnout_PR3: 15% >> 52 minutes (17-18%/hr active drain rate)

As you can see the latest Burnout_PR3 is 1.6x more efficient than the previous Burnout_PR2, which is something almost miraculous relatively, and that may bring some of you worried wondering "what the heck, Mostafa compromised performance!?" And I tell them not at all, not on my watch
Quote:

Geekbench 4 – single core: 1809
Geekbench 4 – multi core: 4224
AnTuTu 6.2.6: 154k
>> This was using stock CM LAOS kernel with stock clocks, just my Burnout_PR3 added on top.

So here we are, fighting and trying my hardest to improve upon my work and outdo myself, and I am sure I can reach more. Burnout_PR2 may have been brilliant and was a "golden" release, but PR3 is something special. Make sure to check out the new goodies from my friends and colleagues, they have been reaching some milestones as well!

Where to get it? Well that will be a surprise...

Advanced Kernel Tweaks
~ [A·K·T] ~
All-in-one Project
================================================== ================================


Guys... it's finally done after several months, thousands of line of code and a bunch of beta tests. A·K·T is done and ready to use!!!

But before any further talking, I have to thanks all the people that have made this possible.
Starting with @Senthil360 for working with me on all the coding stuff as well as creating his Nameless Profiles
@Mostafa Wael and @patalao for their fantastic tweaks and helpfulness all along this process
And to all the testers on the official Slack Channel, they are the absolute best and I wish I could name them all as they also deserve their recognition
Without of them, this project couldn't have been possible.

And now, let's get right into the news!!!

What is AKT and this All-in-One Project?
I'll leave the mic to my buddy @Mostafa Wael and let him explain it:

Since we are all not the same, meaning people can get different results even if they are using the same profile for the same purpose, not to mention that we have moved far away from just tweaking governor settings to almost tweaking every other aspect of the kernel settings, be it HMP scheduling, LMK min free values, I/O scheduler settings and advanced options or other global settings, depending on the Android version installed and the kernel's max frequencies, we decided to make it easier for you (and us) and compile all the scripts in an all-in-one seamless script, making use of the fairly simple command line interface found in Terminal Emulator app, categorizing all the profiles respectively, with a very neat interface layout to make it much easier and more simple to select your profile. This has been worked on for an awful lot of time, and we faced an even more awful lot of issues while debugging and creating this tool.
This has been one of the biggest achievements for all of us, if not the biggest. Introducing Advanced Kernel Tweaks, or rather for short... AKT



How to install:
A flashable zip to be flashed via recovery, which installs scripts of the latest iterations of most profiles (some legacy profiles had to be eliminated for more convenience) and a master script that takes control of all the installed scripts and applies your desired profile at will as soon as you recall it via Terminal Emulator app and get guided by the on-screen instructions.
So to wrap it up:
1- Download the latest AKT_Profile_vX.x.zip file
2- Reboot into TWRP recovery and flash the .zip file
3- After you boot up the phone, leave it to settle for a minute
4- Open up your favorite Terminal Emulator app
5- Grant it superuser permissions by typing in "su" without the quotes
6- After superuser permissions are granted, type in "AKT" without the quotes (yes capitalized)
7- Follow the on-screen instructions and information, don't worry they are very intuitive and easily understandable
8- Profit!

P.S. AKT displays the already applied profile name if there are any, furthermore, AKT has an option to revert back to stock kernel settings.
And as a gift for the New Year, we are coupling AKT with 3 new iterations of Burnout_PR, X.A.N.A & Zhana and Fusion! Make sure to check out the main post for Xana and Fusion and Burnout for the updated description/changelog for the new profiles.
Happy times everyone!


We will update (ASAP) those posts with the all the needed explanation, changelogs for the profiles and the further updates, not this post!

This means the rest of the profiles and the old updates will be EOL. This doesn't mean you cannot longer use them, only that we won't be giving further updates to as them as we though this new set of profiles are better than the past ones and therefore, we should be centering our attention on them


Changelog:

FAQs
  • Do I have to reapply the tweaks ever time I reboot my device?
    - Yes and No. A·K·T supports both init.d and su.d, so as long as your kernel supports init.d or su.d (go ask on its thread not here) or you use init.d emulation via KA or similar, you should not need to reapply them on boot.
    Although I recommend manually reapplying it because, sometimes, they might nor get applied correctly because how both init.d and su.d works.
    Also, you can use Tasker by following this
  • I'm getting X error in X line
    - Okay, I'll need a screenshot of the error shown on the terminal app as well as your current ROM and Kernel
  • I'm getting errors in the whole script
    - Make sure you have given root permissions by typing "su" in the terminal
  • I have further questions
    - Check the FAQs on the OP
    - Read this whole post
