Hello! I am new to how kernel works. I have tried many custom roms over the years and though i read a lot of comments and ur posts i still don't get it. But i was impressed by geekbench score.

So a crude ques ! Will any of ur kernel works with evolution x custom rom that i am currently using ? It says baseband N960FXXS9FUH1 in about phone section. Also i tried fuh1 no root already didn't worked.

This Kernel is only for One UI 2.5 based ROMs. It won't work on AOSP based, like Evolution X.

I have a super cooler but I have a 70°C BIG cores control temperature just like anybody else @ykkfive

I still throttle. Besides, 450,000 is perfectly achievable with an aggressive frequency preset (1261MHz min-2886MHz max big and 962MHz min and 2002MHz max little) and as long as you have sub 17°C ambient.

If you manage to raise control temp from 70 to 85 or even 93, everybody will be getting the scores I get now, It's a very important thing that we have to manage to do.
How are you getting these ? Do you have a youtube channel or video tutorial somewhere i can follow ? I finally managed to install this kernel over alexandr rom. What are these frequencies 1261? 2886? are these not part of kernel already ? i am getting 400k in antutu currently and 700 and 2000 in geekbench latest

I don't have a Youtube channel to treat this stuff unfortunately, since nearly nobody cares about Exynos 9810 and 2018 Samsung phones anyways.

These frequencies are part of the Kernel, but to unleash the full performance, you have to do your own tweaking. If you want to reach AnTuTu scores beyond 400,000, install ThunderTweaks and put CPU Big minimum frequency at 1794MHz and max at 2886MHz. Little cores have to be at 1456MHz minimum and 2002MHz maximum. GPU 598MHz min and max. This will make your AnTuTu and Geekbench become definitely higher while heating up a bit less than you would if you went all out instead.

This phone runs hot, and to achieve very high scores, you have to keep it cool. There are phone coolers around, they are very handy, for both gaming and benchmarking.

Haha ! exactly "since nearly nobody cares about Exynos 9810 and 2018 Samsung phones anyways" i am willing to do all these modifications. I wouldn't dare to do this on a new device in a warranty period.

Thanks for quick reply though and being patient. Some people do get annoyed seeing basic questions :ROFLMAO: but not everybody knows how coding works! doesnt mean they aint curious.

Definitely gave me my highest benchmark ever (2100 on geekbench, 422k on antutu) just not the number that guy achieved earlier or u suggested (without cooler).

You can do even more than that, quite easily. Just keep tweaking on your own and find your own sweet spot for daily usage too. With mods that prevent the phone from overheating (Even going as far as removing the back plate of the phone and putting a heatsink with a fan on the SoC plate) E9810 can score up to 2700 on Geekbench 5 at 2314MHz Big Cores. Some people have been able to achieve 2500+ without any extreme mod, so there is headroom.

About AnTuTu, highest ever seen is around 471,000. 500,000 is currently BARELY possible only on A12, thanks to the improved GPU drivers. But most of the time, you can't reach it. We have to wait for a proper GPU overclock to arrive, in order to start REALLY competing with E9820 and E9825, and this is how great E9810 really is. It's able to become so powerful that it can match next generation SoCs, but unfortunately Samsung tuned it down on release.

can you flash this kernel on stock rom? if we can is it automatically rooted?

I wanted to try but every moded rom has problem on banking apps tried everything hide magisk itself, frozen magisk everything on the internet I tried and not working.

It works on stock One UI 2.5, yes, and it will automatically root. Little to nothing hides root to banking apps unfortunately.

AP code on my device is written FVG2, is it possible to install the kernel?

Edit : I've found the solution

    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!

    - 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

    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

    before applying fix

    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
