Nougat? Oreo?

 

[theimpulson]

Nougat? Oreo?

Both

Both

Specific ROM compatibility?

 

[theimpulson]

Specific ROM compatibility?

No. Should work on all ROM.

 

[Paresh18shah]

Works for me...
I am using Z00LD
With RR Final Rom.

Configurations to apply ?

 

[theimpulson]

Configurations to apply ?

As per your wish. Everything is toggleable. You can mess with as per requirement. Ask other users for their settings for specific goals like for faster performance or battery backup etc.

 

[Afsal ta]

Anyone pls suggest any link for best configuration...... I don't know anything about this

 

[Rauster]

Hi guys, someone can help us with the configuration in kernel audiutor? It's the first time I flash a kernel so I don't know anything about this

Me too a newbie wanna know

 

[$tar]

Is this QC 2.0?

 

[kunalchitara]

Great. Finally some kernel development started on z00l device. Thanks. Will soon try and post kernel settings that i'll find optimal for me.

 

[Andre_Luis]

Does it work on ViperOS?

 

[theimpulson]

Does it work on ViperOS?

Yes.

 

[albinsraj1]

Great Work ... Keep it up .. By the way do u have any telegram channel or any other community group?

Overall a good kernel. There is definitely performance improvement and most of the part is already optimized. Still if you like to try,

On searching a bit, what i found is-
Power suspend is the state where various hardware like RAM, GPU etc are cut off from power to save battery. It is very much like the hibernate in Windows OR suspend in Ubuntu.

Hybrid --> Generally suspend is slower than hibernation, hybrid combines both of them to achieve a mixed state.

Userspace --> The system intelligently suspends according to need of the device.

LCD panel --> Powersuspend is dependent on lcd hooks, which means that only lcd panel can wake the device once it achieves a suspended state.

Autosleep --> As the name implies, it autosleeps when needed.

Lastly, enable ksm and usb fast charge. That's all.

You may set minimum cpu freq to 200MHz. Rest, all cpu governor settings will go in vain since touch boost isn't disabled. A single touch boost up all cores to their max and none of them goes offline even on standby which i consider is significantly draining battery. A request to developer, if possible for you, please disable touch boost feature.
Thanks

Touch boost will disabled in next build. A lot of more settings will be available.
