When I set big cluster at any value over 2002mhz it returns to 2000mhz magically 🥴, i reflash kernel and do nothing..

Smart pack kernel and Franko kernel manager do the same behaviour. I try to set big cluster up to 2ghz and goes down at 2ghz every time I tried. Reflash kernel not solve the problem.

Android 10 ketan rom.

Update: the value in kernel manager gets stucked at 2ghz but the real value of cpu works well.

@ykkfive I think this should be a disclaimer in the Kernel post because there's still people who don't know.

@turbomann

Exynos 9810 Big Cores only go to max 2886MHz when one core is used. The frequency you can tune in Smartpack Kernel Manager and Franco Kernel manager is only for Quad Core which is 2002MHz max.

Single Core load: 2886MHz (Already OCed from stock 2704MHz)
Dual Core load: 2314MHz (Same as stock. Maybe could go to 2652MHz)
Quad Core load: 2002MHz (only this you can change, stock is 1794MHz)

Running all big cores at 2886MHz will be very useful for frying eggs on your phone or making the battery go very big (2314 to 2886 power consumption doubles).

It's not a bug. It's CPU architecture. We have some releases that do 2314MHz on Quad and it's stable but heat production is bigger and the profit you get is not big enough because it throttles too fast. Needs an increased control temperature.

Oh ****. I know it but stress blinds me 😂. I thinked that tune frequency was on single core max. The strange thing is float cpu meter shows freq above 2002mhz in big cluster but appears to be the freq of 1 core x4 because is the same value always for the 4 big cores (at high freq). Actually limited big CL to 2314mhz eventually it shows 2314 in 4 big cores.

Anyway, cpu max freq works ok, kernel manager shows 2002mhz stucked but if you put max freq to 2600 avg, the max single core freq adjust to this freq (confirmed with the cpu float monitor). That shows that the max freq you tune applies to single core, not only quad core engage. But monitor shows the 4 cores at 2600 when the reality is one single big core at that freq.

Any float cpu meter trustable to see real core freq applied to single and dual core use?

CPU float is actually the best out there if you want a monitor you can keep everywhere. Devcheck is an app that is able to check frequencies and offline cores much more accurately but again, it’s not on screen.

Also yes, the tune frequency is for single core max but only after it passes the quad core max freq. below that, it sets both.

    Hi all,

    It's ME again, being inactive for a few years due to my health conditions since Android Marshmallow! Today I would like to present you something I wanted for so long... an updated kernel for One UI 2.5! To be honest, I knew there were a lot of changes since MM, but not until these days I realized how troublesome they are, including rooting a device these days!! ( just rooted my N960F/DS running stock pie for more than a year ;) )
    OK, here we go!!


    This is an update to the BeastMode Kernel vR154 originally developed by @freeza and patched with latest Samsung One UI 2.5 kernel sources.

    Some of the features from R154 include:
    - enforcing kernel (switchable between enforcing/permissive)
    - cpu/gpu oc
    - dt2w (double tap to wake)
    - wireguard support


    However, due to my health conditions, I cannot spend too much time to update this kernel everyday although I am jobless, nor to have frequent updates as what @freeza did to his BeastMode Kernel. So please don't expect things will come very often. Thank you



    Special notes for BeastMode Kernel v2 initial release:
    - in the initial release (v2.02) there is no fix nor new feature added to the BeastMode Kernel vR154, as it servers as an update for new One UI 2.5 ROMs released by Samsung only
    - for existing features, problems or solutions, please visit the original BeastMode Kernel thread by @freeza
    - new features will be added in later releases



    BeastMode Kernel v2:
    - built with EVA GCC 12 and Proton Clang 13.0.0
    - for cts profile/safetynet fix, please install the Universal SafetyNet Fix by @kdrag0n



    Planned features:
    - more IO schedulers
    - more governors
    - OC/UV (partially done)
    - f2fs (DONE!)



    If you like this, please consider donating a loaf of bread or something to support my living or buy some treats for my old dog @ https://paypal.me/ykkfive ( I don't need coffee or beer :giggle: ). Thanks!

    Known Issues:

    20210730:

    (I) for version up to v2.05, the following features do not work as expected due to my mistakes

    - Wake Gestures including double tap to wake (dt2w), swipe to wake (s2w), etc
    - Boeffla wakelocks
    - These problems will be fixed in the next version soon
    .
    FIXED. Please accept my sincere apology

    (II) in v2.05 default gpu voltage may incorrectly show the modified values as default values in kernel manager

    (III) since v2.04m the performance is not as good as v2.03 due to the introduction of some kernel changes





    20210730 - v2.05a

    - no other changes
    - REMOVED, superseded by v2.05a







    20210726 - v2.04m
    - compatible with FUF5 (** may have problems if you use lockscreen or samsung account with possible fix here. ALWAYS do a full backup first)
    - overclocked: cpu little to 2002000Mhz, gpu to 598000Mhz
    - undervoltaged: cpu/memory
    - gpu undervoltage support awaiting a fix
    - linux upstreamed to 4.9.250
    - cherry picked some kernel tweaks
    - for undervolting the gpu, you may go and read my settings here awaiting a fix






    More Previous releases:


    20210628 - v2.03
    - added "magisk detected" BASIC fix to prevent apps trying to detect if magisk is installed (only some of the detections are prevented)
    - you can see the difference by installing an app from google play store called "Дія" issued by Ministry of Digital Transformation of Ukraine

    20210621 - v2.02 (init release)
    *** Special announcement for Dr.Ketan ROM Q16 - 20210623 ***
    it seems there are some compatibility issues with Dr.Ketan ROM Q16 and this kernel, due to the fact that Q16 is based on N960FXXU8FUE1 while this kernel is N960FXXS8FUE5. As a result you may not be able to login to Samsung Account, or have cts profile/safetynet issue. So please MAKE A FULL BACKUP before proceed.


    - updated with N960FXXS8FUE5 sources
    - tested with stock rom UE5, Dr Ketan Q16 with some patches
    - working properly with DevBase 7.4 and Alexis ROM 2.8 from users feedbacks
    *** make sure you have flashed N960FXXS8FUE5 AP, BL, modem etc

    ok guys, sorry to keep you waiting so long

    due to the latest linux kernel upstreams being applied together with those uv introduced before, we faced some problems with the artifacts. they are not major problem tbh but who knows. it will be a disaster for me to redo the changes again and again if it becomes a serious problem

    i had to decide whether we keep the uv or continue with the upstream. and after many tests i decided to ditch those kernel patches, at least for now

    i will then continue what i wanted to do with this kernel

    btw, the release build is ready, but i want to wait for the latest fuj2 patches from samsung as i dont want to release another build shortly after this one. i will send them an email later

    anyway, we will have some improvements this time again! so stay tuned!

    thanks



    edit
    here's a teaser from my hard working tester @TechNoobForSale. thanks so much for your time and efforts
    3
    Now I migrated bm v2.02m + Alexis 2.8 combination. All seems decent for now. Still boeffla and double tap sections are missing. But it's okay.
    Here is the devchecks ram performance attachment. (on v2.02)

    I am going to perform antutu and geekbench and post here.
    u mean 2.04m?

    I am on v2.05

    Ram performance is decreased, confirmed with doing devcheck comparison and antutu bench.

    tap to wake and sleep options are gone.
    boeffla options are gone.

    Accordig to Devcheck,

    Cmemcopy: around 5000 Mb/s
    Cmemset: aroud 7500 Mb/s

    on R154 these were 10000 MB/s and 15000 Mb/s respectively.

    Cpu an GPU performance are good.

    I am on Alexis 2.9 Note 9 SM N960F


    And also the voltage table that given by dev is passed two full antutu bench. No crashes.
    i have did some tests today and yes, 2.02 is the fastest one, it was the original one without any "enhancements" in other aspects like cpu/gpu overclocking. it is not unusual that these enchancements can be beaten by the one without in terms of performance. it all depends on the usage, and more importantly everthing comes with a price. so you may find it at stock max speed outperforms an overclocked cpu due to the heat generated (which trigger the mechanism to lower the cpu freq as to cool it down). eg a 10 seconds task running with 2000Mhz may be better than 3 seconds with 2400mHz plus 7 seconds with 1700Mhz. you see what i mean? of coz, once again, it depends on the usage and the way of using it like benchmarking or daily use

    anyway, thanks for your feedbacks, as well as others. without you guys' feedback i couldnt discover the bugs myself

    also, i may consider to make an extreme version, which will be rebased on 2.02 with FUF5 but without any unneccessary changes for those who focus more on the speed due to different usage patterns if there are demands for it. but in general, 2.02 is still working fine with FUF5 except samsung account login issues for some users i believe

    on the other hand, i will continue to cherry pick some useful changes to optimize it in general for the main stream version

    thanks

    EDIT 20210804
    a more aggressive gpu voltage settings is posted here awaiting a fix



    BM-Kernel-v2.04m released

    20210726 - v2.04m
    - compatible with FUF5 (** may have problems if you use lockscreen or samsung account with possible fix here. ALWAYS do a full backup first)
    - overclocked: cpu little to 2002000Mhz, gpu to 598000Mhz
    - undervoltaged: cpu/memory
    - support gpu under voltage
    - linux upstreamed to 4.9.250
    - cherry picked some kernel tweaks
    - for undervolting the gpu, you may refer to my initial safe settings below and adjust them by yourself. there are still rooms to undervolt, but it is suggested you do it bit by bit, and one by one and test the new voltage before next
