Flashed this beast this morning after reading a lot of positive feedback about it :) so far so good, I only noticed that core 4 is always running at maximum frequency, is this intentional? Tried rebooting but it behaves the same.

My Core4 is often offline, either by itself or along with Core2 & Core3. At other times Core2 and Core3 or offline together. When Core4 is online, it's frequency does fluctuate, not just maxed. Did you clear data & settings of your CPU tweaking app as suggested a few posts before?

Yes I did, although actually I hadn't tweaked anything before... Anyway, changing governor to conservative and then back to blu_active has resolved my issue, frequencies now fluctuates for every core :)

All right crew!

New build is up, latest M3 stuff merged, some cleanup, etc.
Seems like Google merged some power patches to deal with bug on battery measurement Solid on M, 5.1.1 needs testing.
EDIT: just pushed r26 quickfix, seems like even with newest Smart Battery and Aging Detection commits, the gauge meter is still derped on M3 source.

Wicked!

dt2w is enough for me.

No FIOPS is default, you have something else setting cfq

No mines is set at fiops as default just wanted to double check because there was one guy in the extra smooth M thread telling the dev there's something wrong with his rom because your latest update supposedly you changed it to cfq but it keeps sticking to fiops on him with a clean flash.

Yesterday I didn't had abnormal usage but today I had those.

Going to release a quickfix with the reverts I did in M2.

EDIT: r26 with fixed bat meter up.

    Kernel features:
    • Powered by Ubuntu 14.04.3 x86_64 (sparky VPS @ www.servercore.com.br - thanks @ChristianLetti)
    • Build with toolchain SaberMod eabi-4.9-09272015 cortex-a15 targeted
    • Full -O3 & graphite support with device and target flags enhanced, linaro build improvements, etc
    • Less is more: stockish builds based on android-msm-shamu-3.10-marshmallow
    • Kernel compressed with LZ4-r131, custom tweaked RAMdisk with GZIP (faster boot times, removed force encryption)
    • Removed some debug and logging options
    • Enhanced performance and battery patches
    • Several CPU Governors (blu_active own governor is default)
    • Voltage Control UV_mV_table
    • Enhanced TCP methods (westwood is default), Network and Wifi tweaks
    • Several I/O control (FIOPS is default), tweaked filesystems (F2FS, ExFAT, NTFS & CIFS available)
    • Disabled stock mpdecision and thermald, removed artificial throttles (core hotplug, frequency and battery)
    • blu_plug: Dynamic hotplug for shamu, with screenoff battery saving (max dual core @ max_freq 1190400)
    • msm_thermal simple driver (default 65º C threshold)
    • Optimized RWSEM, AES and SHA1 routines (with neon support)
    • Vibrator Strength tunable (75 level ~ 60 % default)
    • KGSL fixes and reworked GPU driver (removed doubled freqs, goes to idle @ 27MHz)
    • KCAL - Advanced color control for Qualcomm MDSS v3 (RGB calibration and post-processing features)
    • USB Fast Charge (USB mode up to 900mA with MTP mode on)
    • Kexec (multirom) full support
    • Disabled voltage, hotplug, frequency and temperature synthetic mitigations
    • USB automount (ROM must support it, otherwise use stickmount)
    • CDROM emulation added to mass_storage (full Drive Droid compatible)
    • init.d support (busybox run-parts required), Kernel cleaner script
    • Compatible with Kernel Adiutor, Universal Kernel Manage and others

    DOWNLOAD KERNEL ZIP


    Warning: If you come from other kernel, you should dirty flash your ROM before flashing blu_spark zip to avoid problems.
    Reflash ROM -> flash SuperSU -> Boot device and install busybox -> flash blu_spark.
    Also uninstall or clean data of any kernel control app you're using.

    Root is now available in Marshmallow 6.0 in enforced mode thanks to chainfire.
    In stock (or stock derived) ROMs follow the steps bellow. In pre rooted custom ROMs you should only need to flash blu_spark zip
    1. Just go to SuperSU thread and download the kernel zip http://xdaforums.com/apps/supersu/wip-android-6-0-marshmellow-t3219344
    2. Extract the boot.img (not a flashable zip)
    3. Go to recovery, flash boot.img, flash SuperSU v2.50+, flash blu_spark
    4. Profit


    Thanks to @franciscofranco, @faux123, @LaboDJ @show-p1984, @flar2, @anarkia1976, @stratosk, @myfluxi, @Christopher83, @hellsgod, @savoca
    Special thanks to @DariosF and @ciprianruse88, for the friendship, initial push, knowledge and webart.
