EXT4 patches from Linux 3.5+  - Me

memcg patches from Linux 3.5+ - Me

Much more :victory:

I am 100% transparent in this. This kernel is a relatively small amount of my work. I looked at the Linux kernel and took patches for a lot of things and merged it into this kernel for whatever reason I decided. I have merged well over 100 patches from the mainline Linux kernel and I think these patches really do make a difference... you can make that judgement for yourself as well

The difference between my kernel and compilation kernels is that my kernel is not based off of any one persons kernel. I started from scratch on AOSP sources and merged in commit by commit to make sure I got what I think are the best solutions.

The best app I have found for controlling this kernels behavior is FauxClock so I will give you my setup in terms of FauxClock. I if I don't mention a setting that means I leave it stock.

My setup:

CPU:
162Mhz Min - 1512Mhz Max
Governor: Interactive OR Intellidemand for battery
MPD: off

GPU:
400Mhz
Governor: Interactive for performance OR simple/ondemand for battery
VSync: On

IOSCHED:
IO Scheduler: FIOPS
Readahead: 512
eMMC entropy Contribution: Off

Gamma Control:
I use the "obsanity_AMOLED" profile

Z-Control:
ZRAM Swap: On
ZRAM Diks Size: 180MB
Clear VFS Cache after Boot: On
Auto FS Writeback Delay Mode: On

Misc:
Dynamic fsync: Off
TCP Congestion Control: westwood

From what I could gather

Sound - faux interface
Gamma - faux
Hotplug - Franco
Interactive, on demand, Wheatley, lazy governors

How would be the battery life?

Theoretically it should be quite good.

Come on man he just dropped it... Honestly battery life is what we his new testers are going to determine...

Enjoying the kernel so far, running smooth on CM 10.2. But as this is solely a kanger's work, it would better fit into the Android development section because this is anything but original isn't it?

I did make "it" AFAIK this is the only kernel of its kind. There are other merges that are not as complete and don't give proper credit to some of the developers, however I give 100% credit. Also there are other kernels that pull from other developers/ user their interfaces that are still in this section.

Not attacking you, just explaining my logic for having it in this section, if a moderator wants it moved as well I have no problem with that.

i have been running this kernel for a week and its great on battery.
its just as quick as any other kernel out there. Byte did a great job getting all these tweaks in and running smooth. :good:

If you aren't a developer you can judge ... Try it and don't spam with questions not related to kernel.
Respect please. :thumbup:

Remember using your giant mako kernel for 4.2.2, it was quite good.

Will try this with a fresh install of crDroid ROM.

Thanks, my kernel for 4.2.2 was not my best effort by far, you should like this one much more

Just looked at Trickster, there do seem to be quite a few settings in which to change lol

It would be great if you can add faux gamma...doesn't work with fauxclock.

Tap, tap says the wicked NeXus⁴
