FauxKernel [002] Intelliplug/FIOPS/TaskPacking/Arm64 Topo/PowerSuspend [12/22/2014]

I did that first, and yes, it works just fine. But with the additional tweaks it's noticeably better. I know the value of benchmarks is limited but I've been using them anyway just for the fun of it between various changes. Antutu is over 58,000 with the kernel and modified settings. That's the best I've seen yet.
It's like the 21st century version of muscle cars with themes and wallpapers instead of paint jobs, but less expensive, more functional, and safer.

Now see, when I was on a decrypted kernel, I could hit almost 59K on Antutu.. Switched to this kernel, and I'm at about 57K with all the recommended settings.. Thinking it is somewhat device dependent at this point.. My benchmarks actually dropped a bit with this kernel, but I will stick with it based on what's to come..

Is fauxsound active in this kernel and do you plan on adding the fast charge option?

What settings are you using?

Quick question; I'm looking for a "set-it-and-forget-it" kernel. I don't really feel like messing with governors, schedulers, voltages, etc. Can I just flash this kernel and still take advantage of its optimizations (encryption, etc.) without installing fauxclock and tweaking the settings?

From past experiance on other devices faux123 usually ships his kernels with stock settings. I cant speak for this one though.

NTFS auto mount support

Will this kernel support NTFS hard drives over USB OTG as Lollipop seems to not support OTG without having a third party app that mounts the hard drive? (will auto mounting be possible or maybe is it already supported?)

Hey @faux123 , when I clone your repo, what do I have to do (make? run a script?) compile the kernel and do I need something else (like toolchain and/or ramdisk)?

 

[Gormsen]

@faux123 I'm getting some pretty random freezes. They occur when I leave the trailer in idle for a long time. In the attached screenshot you can see that it's still draining battery, but its not doing anything.

Read somewhere that we're not able to get a last_kmsg on lollipop, please let me know which kind of log you want.

+1 on this

Got it both when I unplugged it from charger and just left it.

Been getting the same issue as well. Device loses battery while on standby.

FauxSound drivers haven't been implemented yet. You could check Faux's Github for stuff like that though, bro.

I don't know if Faux uses a custom toolchain. However, to make the kernel - clone it. CD into the dir. Make faux_flounder_defconfig. Make -j8.

PS: Keep in mind that whatever toolchain you do use - it'll have to be 64-bit supported.

Yes. For some reason FauxClock at some point ends up draining battery - I've generally had that happen sometime after battery drops below 40%, but could be just coincidence. Generally, I've come back to the tablet and it is dead, and have to charge a little bit and then boot, and then see which process drained it (FauxClock) - so the reboot could have reset everything again, so it could be related to uptime, rather than abttery level. Anyway, I've done a force stop on FauxClock and haven't had that crazy drain for several cycles now.

ROM support

Are there any ROMs bar fully stock that support this kernel? (selinux disabled bootloop issues)

Lollipopalooza and probably SlimRom.

Lollipopalooza works great with it!

Lollipopalooza and probably SlimRom.

Thanks for the kernel. I noticed that my logcat is full of error messages about not having writing permissions in bootpulse. Could that could any battery issues, because I can say I am not really impressed with the battery performance. I am on Faux kernel with the recommended values.

EDIT: I am also wondering if it's possible to make gamma controls (or other color calibration settings) available on Nexus 9. I definitely don't like the way this display is calibrated and i would like to have the same options as on Nexus 4.

Hi, can I request for binfmt_misc to be supported?

*edit*

I successfully added this by compiling from fauxkernel source! Just spent some hours on studying how to compile a kernel. Never thought it was easier than I thould it would have. It booted properly and Linux Deploy detected binfmt_misc. Anyways hope you still support it so i wouldn't have to compile your kernel manually each update

For the recommended settings, why not set the min clock and screen off clock to the lowest possible value? Why is min clock 510000 and why is screen off clock higher than that at 1020000?

 

[znarf2369]

Is thr kernel development for Nexus 9 still allive?

 

[DangerMUK]

Yeah wondering if this is still in active development ?

Also is there any chance to turn off forcing encryption ?

Min clock is the lowest available frequency for the CPU, screen off is the MAXIMUM frequency available when the device's screen is inactive. Two completely different things.
