Update!
Note: It is recommended that you reboot your phone after you have applied v2.8 so the personal and fully customized changes takes full effect and is fully up & running as intended. Don't forget to also flash the Busybox Magisk module!
Version v2.8 (Minor release):
- Adjusted the kernel task scheduler for reduced jitter as well as improved system performance and responsivness
- Reverted to the safe-to-block wakelock list for the final release (feel free to add any misbehaving WL's if needed)
- Enabled the iowait_boost flag (again) on / for the LITTLE cluster cores (report back to me if this breaks deep sleep)
- Slightly updated the readme.txt file a little bit even more

1) v2.9 works just fine. I removed the max clock adjustments because got tired of making it work as good as possible.
2) Nope. Just flash the new kernel build, reboot once and the script(s) is then taking care of the rest!
Just a question : several kernel now also have a powerhint magisk module. If using this mod with frequencies in ekm is it better to not apply powerhint modules? Could they interfere with the mod?
Not sure about OTA, I just download factory image, remove -w and flash-all. Then patch the boot.img with magisk and flash.
Yes on both your questions!
BM isn't touching the CPU frequencies anymore so don't worry - it'll work fine.
?
Update!
Note: It is recommended that you reboot your phone after you have applied v3.0 so the personal and fully customized changes takes full effect and is fully up & running as intended. Don't forget to also flash the Busybox Magisk module!
Version v3.0 (Minor release):
- Added in the task scheduler modifications again (duh..)
- Fully reverted the ZRAM and swappiness adjustments
- Enabled the iowait_boost flag for all three CPU clusters
- Fully enabled the ulps_suspend_feature_enabled flag
- Some additional quality of life stuff here and there

Is it compatible with Artemis kernel?
Should be, I haven't tried it myself though. Give it a try and report back here on how it works out if you want to!
ok I will try and let you know.Should be, I haven't tried it myself though. Give it a try and report back here on how it works out if you want to!
Hey there,
just in case someone has problems with banking apps after using BM:
Took me some time to figure it out, but the following lines trigger anti root/tamper protection at least on VR-SecureGo:
# Use RCU_normal instead of RCU_expedited for improved real-time latency, CPU utilization and energy efficiency;
echo "0" > /sys/kernel/rcu_expedited
echo "1" > /sys/kernel/rcu_normal

23Introduction:
Hello everyone!
This script is created with the goal of improving both battery life and performance on our Google Pixel 4 / Pixel 4 XL devices, and should be seen as a fully simple, and customized, under-the-hood kernel configuration with a lot of neat, and carefully selected, adjustments for a notable better device experience, ideal as a top-notch daily driver.
Note: This script is not recommended to be modified or customized by the user.
The latest release can be found here.
Features:
- Reduced battery consumption
- Device specific enhancements for best possible balance between battery life & performance
- Disabled a lot of useless stuff at kernel level (Improves battery life as well as performance)
- Power efficiency enhancements
- Wide IO block tuning (Reduces the possibility of hiccups, lags and overhead)
- Possibly other miscellaneous things I've forgotten to write down here, both big and small.
Requirements / what you need for getting this script fully working:
- An unlocked bootloader
- Your own specific choice of kernel
- Latest supported version of Magisk
- Busybox for Android NDK Magisk Module by @osm0sis
- Patience
Installation / How-To use & abuse:
- 1) Download the attached ZIP
- 2) Extract the script(s)
- 3) Move the script to the following location;
/data/adb/service.d and give it the following & needed file permissions (0775) - 4) Reboot your phone, let Android boot to the launcher and let Magisk boot service do its crucial magic (takes a few seconds before the scripts is fully up and running around behind the scenes)
- 5) Enjoy!

Version v3.5 (Minor release):
- Tuned Schedutil across every cluster in a non-orthodox way for both performance as well as battery life reasons
- Turned off the ulps_suspend_feature_enable display flag (it makes no sense and just only destroys your battery life)
- Some additional miscellaneous adjustments and reverts
