Works on AOKP

Hi @wedgess,

Tested this kernel with the latest version of AOKP.
All works perfectly (WiFi connecting and disconnecting quickly on base-band 77).

Sorry, I didn't test WiFi while sleeping yet - not something I use on my phone.

Phone running really smoothly.

Conclusion: - you're a genius. Thanks :)

20 Sep 2012 EDIT: I've now tested the WiFi sleeping... Get connect and disconnect problems same as others, but only after trying WiFi during sleep.
Re-flashed WiFi libs, and WiFi back to normal.
... Glad I don't use WiFi in sleep mode on my phone.
(I still think you're a genius)

25 Sep 2012 EDIT: Tested V2 of the kernel, and found no problems with WiFi, (or anything else).
Thank-you wedges for the update. Now the JB roms I'm testing are suddenly more stable :D :good: :good:

Tried this kernel for a few day on the latest AOKP release. Works great! Also having some problems with wifi in deep sleep. Hoping to see an update soon(hopefully with a wifi fix)

Yes pretty sure ive got that fixed now + a few other things ;) just gotta make sure everythings alright and time probably after the weekend:D

Will be waiting for the new WiFi Modules then! Just flashed your CM10-Based kernel and it works great, just the 2 small bugs with the WiFi and the graphic clitches in CWM 6 Recovery.
Thank you for your work. :good:

the wifi is kinda buggy, when you turning it off..
it just takes a lot of time to turn wifi off, and when it's off, it can't be turned on unless i reboot.
for wifi sleaping issue when the screen is off you dont need any app to keepling alive just go to setings,,,r click press on wifi,, right clikc at the button beside the home screen button,,,, choose advanced,,,, and voila apears keep wi fi on during sleep by default is off choose always on and enjoy:cool:

Hi Wedges, FXP has released new ROM FXP 139 recently, I wonder if the Kernel inside has any differences with the 137 u based on for your kernel, because I heard many pplz give positive feedbacks for it (139). Anyway, I still stick with your kernel for now because of the awesomeness, hoping we will have v2 soon with the fixes coming. Thank you again and keep up the good works.

PS: I also got some problem with the quick toggles, sometimes it stuck and refuse to do my command. I got this problem with Torch, wifi, data toggles, don't know if it is kernel related or Rom related. Reboot the phone would temporary fix the problem though.

good job wedgess..with your new kernel my aokp JB flying high lol
and no reboot again while watching with mx player

thanks wedgess

=====================
edit
i found one problem like your v4 stock kernel
i see on cpu spy, cpu freq goes high to 2,0ghz on boot
because of this kernel doesn't boot and must restart to boot into ROM

sorry for my bad english

    What Works --
    Wifi - (flash modules)
    Data
    Everything Else that works on FXP

    What doesn't work --
    Anything that doesn't work on FXP

    Whats Included in kernel ------------

    Added Governors --


    • brazillianwax
      smartass
      Smartassv2
      Savagedzen
      Smoothass
      Scary
      InteractiveX
      Minmax
      Userspace


    • Intellidemand - Thanks to faux123
      This is an intelligent ondemand that enters browsing mode to limit max frequency when GPU is idling,
      and (exits browsing mode) behaves like ondemand when GPU is busy; to deliver performance for gaming and such.
      Intellidemand does not jump to highest frequency when screen is off.

      Lazy - Thanks to Ezekeel
      The Idea here is to eliminate any instabilities caused by fast frequency switching by ondemand.
      Lazy governor polls more often than ondemand, but changes frequency only after completing min_time_state
      on a step overriding sampling interval.
      Lazy also has a screenoff_maxfreq parameter which when enabled will cause the governor to always
      select the maximum frequency while the screen is off.

      Lulzactive - Thanks to Tegrak
      Based on Interactive and Smartass. When workload is greater than or equal to 60%, the governor scales up
      CPU to next higher step. When workload is less than 60%, governor scales down CPU to next lower step.
      When screen is off, frequency is locked to global scaling minimum frequency

      - Superbad
      - a "superbad" super smooth rendition of a highly optimized "smartass" governor!

      - Darkside
      - a "slightly more agressive smart" optimized governor!

      -Ondemandx:
      Basically an ondemand with suspend/wake profiles. This governor is supposed to be a battery friendly ondemand. When screen is off, max frequency is capped at 500 mhz. Even though ondemand is the default governor in many kernel and is considered safe/stable, the support for ondemand/ondemandX depends on CPU capability to do fast frequency switching which are very low latency frequency transitions. I have read somewhere that the performance of ondemand/ondemandx were significantly varying for different i/o schedulers. This is not true for most of the other governors. I personally feel ondemand/ondemandx goes best with SIO I/O scheduler.

      -Lionheart:
      Is a conservative-based governor. The tunables (such as the thresholds and sampling rate) were changed so the governor behaves more like the performance one, at the cost of battery as the scaling is very aggressive.

      To 'experience' Lionheart using conservative, try these tweaks:
      sampling_rate:10000 or 20000 or 50000, whichever you feel is safer. (transition latency of the CPU is something below 10ms/10,000uS hence using 10,000 might not be safe).
      up_threshold:60
      down_threshold:30
      freq_step:5
      Lionheart goes well with deadline i/o scheduler. When it comes to smoothness (not considering battery drain), a tuned conservative delivers more as compared to a tuned ondemand.

      BadAss Governor:
      Badass removes all of this "fast peaking" to the max frequency. Badass will also take the gpu load into consideration. If the gpu is moderately busy it will bypass the above check and clock the cpu with 1024Mhz. If the gpu is crushed under load, badass will lift the restrictions to the cpu.

      -Virtuous
      Virtuous is a modded smartassV2 which gives even more battery time then smartassV2:)

      Added Io-scheduler --
      VR io-scheduler - Unlike other schedulers, synchronous and asynchronous requests are not treated separately,
      instead a deadline is imposed for fairness. The next request to be served is based on it's distance from last request.

      - SIO - Simple IO-Scheduler-
      SIO is the default scheduler in this kernel. It is widely-regarded as the best all-round performing IO scheduler for android. It is low on CPU usage and optimized for flash-based storage. From the creator - "Based on Noop, Deadline and V(R) IO schedulers. This algorithm does not do any kind of sorting, as it is aimed for aleatory access devices, but it does some basic merging. We try to keep minimum overhead to achieve low latencies. Asynchronous and synchronous requests are not treated separately, but we rely on deadlines to ensure fairness."

      - BFQ - Budget Fair Queueing IO-Scheduler-

      From Creators
      * Copyright (C) 2008 Fabio Checconi
      * Paolo Valente
      *
      * Licensed under the GPL-2 as detailed in the accompanying COPYING.BFQ file.
      *
      * BFQ is a proportional share disk scheduling algorithm based on the
      * slice-by-slice service scheme of CFQ. But BFQ assigns budgets,
      * measured in number of sectors, to tasks instead of time slices.
      * The disk is not granted to the active task for a given time slice,
      * but until it has exahusted its assigned budget. This change from
      * the time to the service domain allows BFQ to distribute the disk
      * bandwidth among tasks as desired, without any distortion due to
      * ZBR, workload fluctuations or other factors. BFQ uses an ad hoc
      * internal scheduler, called B-WF2Q+, to schedule tasks according to
      * their budgets. Thanks to this accurate scheduler, BFQ can afford
      * to assign high budgets to disk-bound non-seeky tasks (to boost the
      * throughput), and yet guarantee low latencies to interactive and
      * soft real-time applications.

      VM tweaks (explained below)

    VM Tweaks


    dirty ratio and dirty background ratio 1 & 2
    This controls how often the kernel writes data to "disk" (in our case the internal microSD system card, not the removable microSD card). When your apps write data to disk, Linux actually doesn't write the data out to the disk right away, it actually writes the stuff to system memory and the kernel handles when and how the data is actually going to be flushed to the disk. These values represent a percentage, the higher the percentage, the longer it waits to flush, the lower the percentage, the more often flushes will occur. Now remember, we are dealing with solid state storage, not the traditional disk platter and spindle. So we are actually able to delay flushes a little longer with solid state versus a traditional hard drive disk.


    dirty_expire_centisecs
    How old "dirty" data should be before the kernel considers it old enough to be written to disk. It is expressed in 100ths of a second.

    dirty_writeback_centisecs

    This is the interval of when the writeback daemons periodically wake up and write "old" data out to disk. It is expressed in 100ths of a second.

    min free kbytes
    This is used to force the Linux VM to keep a minimum number of kilobytes free. The VM uses this number to compute a pages_min value for each lowmem zone in the system. Each lowmem zone gets a number of reserved free pages based proportionally on its size. Default is 2048kb.

    overcommit_memory
    This controls overcommit of system memory, possibly allowing processes to allocate (but not use) more memory than is actually available.

    0 - Heuristic overcommit handling. Obvious overcommits of address space are refused. Used for a typical system. It ensures a seriously wild allocation fails while allowing overcommit to reduce swap usage. root is allowed to allocate slighly more memory in this mode. This is the default.
    1 - Always overcommit. Appropriate for some scientific applications.
    2 - Don't overcommit. The total address space commit for the system is not permitted to exceed swap plus a configurable percentage (default is 50) of physical RAM. Depending on the percentage you use, in most situations this means a process will not be killed while attempting to use already-allocated memory but will receive errors on memory allocation as appropriate.

    Swappiness
    A property for the Linux kernel that changes the balance between swapping out runtime memory, as opposed to dropping pages from the system page cache. Swappiness can be set to values between 0 and 100 inclusive. A low value means the kernel will try to avoid swapping as much as possible where a higher value instead will make the kernel aggressively try to use swap space.

    VFS Cache Pressure
    File system cache (dentry/inode) is really more important than the block cache above in dirty ratio and dirty background ratio, so we really want the kernel to use up much more of the RAM for file system cache, this will increas the performance of the system without sacrificing performance at the application level. The default value is 100, as a percentage, and what you want to do is lower the value to tell the kernel to favor the file system cache and not drop them aggressively.
