[KERNEL][AOSP/CM][7.x] HellSpawn-N4 R05 [2016-12-28]

[spezi77]

Pure, powerful and fast as hell.

These shall be the characteristics of my HellSpawn kernel for the Nexus 4 (MAKO).

Why another kernel for the Nexus 4?
Answer is simple.. why not! I started to look around for an appropriate kernel which could be an enrichment in my BeanStalk ROM (abbr. BS). One of the fastest candidates has definitely been the hells-Core kernel. But I didn't want to depend on other devs, hence I decided to start my own project based on the awesome work by hellsgod (big thanks to you!).

Your constant feedback is welcome and essential for the further development! Even if I probably cannot fulfil the wishes by everyone, I am trying to consider the most promising features requested. However, I will try to keep the number of new features limited in order to not bloat up the kernel which could easily result in a degradation of its stability.

I am looking forward to fruitful discussions with you and figuring what the hell turn out to be the most suitable kernel features in terms of performance and battery life!

Note: This kernel is compatible with Android 6.0.1 (Marshmallow) and with Android 7.x (Nougat). Please pay attention which build you are downloading. Builds for Android 7.x might be backwards compatible.

r11 dev notes:
I have tried many things & tested a lot of different configurations recently, e.g. to add back cpuboost driver, and also to add msm_limiter (replacement for msm_sleeper). Also worth to mention.. I have stabilized intelli_plug, which was temporarily added into r11-test-builds, but then it turned out that it has had impacts on the overall performance.. all those cool stuff didn't help to further improve this kernel, so I decided to abandon it in the official r11 build.

At this point I would like to thank two awesome guys: @dragos281993 @Cristiano Lira who supported me extremely with testing and help me on the right track! BTW, I am constantly measuring changes with help of Antutu and my own eyes..

Rumors:
Last but not least.. You might be interested in learning about how my "experiments" with lazyplug have went. Well, there is not much to say, except for it didn't work. And hence I decided to give up.

FAQ:

And... What is the difference between normal and CPUSET?

It's meant to be used ONLY with fake nexus rom, because it is the only rom with the modifications to use CPUSET properly. As a result, using it with another rom will result in one core being used only.

What's the difference between UBERTC-5.x, -6.x and -7.0

Tc 5.x and 6.x are the most up-to-date and stable toolchains provided by UBER devs. Tc 7.0 was temporarily in use (experimental).

Why do I need so many different CPU governors and what are they for?

1: OnDemand

Ondemand is one of the original and oldest governors available on the linux kernel. When the load placed on your CPU reaches the set threshold, the governor will quickly ramp up to the maximum CPU frequency. It has excellent fluidity because of this high-frequency bias, but it can also have a relatively negative effect on battery life versus other governors. OnDemand was commonly chosen by smartphone manufacturers in the past because it is well-tested and reliable, but it is outdated now and is being replaced by Google's Interactive governor.

2: Performance

The performance governor locks the phone's CPU at maximum frequency.

3: Conservative

This governor biases the phone to prefer the lowest possible clockspeed as often as possible. In other words, a larger and more persistent load must be placed on the CPU before the conservative governor will be prompted to raise the CPU clockspeed. Depending on how the developer has implemented this governor, and the minimum clockspeed chosen by the user, the conservative governor can introduce choppy performance. On the other hand, it can be good for battery life.

The Conservative Governor is also frequently described as a "slow OnDemand". The original and unmodified conservative is slow and inefficient. Newer and modified versions of conservative (from some kernels) are much more responsive and are better all around for almost any use.

4: Interactive

Interactive scales the clockspeed over the course of a timer set by the kernel developer (or user). In other words, if an application demands a ramp to maximum clockspeed (by placing 100% load on the CPU), a user can execute another task before the governor starts reducing CPU frequency. Because of this timer, Interactive is also better prepared to utilize intermediate clockspeeds that fall between the minimum and maximum CPU frequencies. It is significantly more responsive than OnDemand, because it's faster at scaling to maximum frequency.

Interactive also makes the assumption that a user turning the screen on will shortly be followed by the user interacting with some application on their device. Because of this, screen on triggers a ramp to maximum clockspeed, followed by the timer behavior described above.

Interactive is the default governor of choice for today's smartphone and tablet manufacturers.

5: BadAss (has been removed in r11)

Badass removes all of this "fast peaking" to the max frequency. To trigger a frequency increase, the system must run a bit with high load, then the frequency is bumped. If that is still not enough the governor gives you full throttle. (this transition should not take longer than 1-2 seconds, depending on the load your system is experiencing)

Badass will also take the gpu load into consideration. If the gpu is moderately busy it will bypass the above check and clock the cpu to max frequency. If the gpu is crushed under load, badass will lift the restrictions to the cpu.

6: Pegasusq

The Pegasusq is a multi-core based on the Ondemand governor and governor with integrated hot-plugging. It is quite stable and has the same battery life as Ondemand. Ongoing processes in the queue, we know that multiple processes can run simultaneously on. These processes are active in an array, which is a field called "Run Queue" queue that is ongoing, with their priority values ​​arranged (priority will be used by the task scheduler, which then decides which process to run next).

To ensure that each process has its fair share of resources, each will run for a certain period and will eventually stop and then again placed in the queue until it is your turn again. If a program is terminated, so that others can run the program with the highest priority in the current queue is executed.

7: Smartmax

Smartmax is a mix between Ondemand and Smartassv2. It behaves mostly like Smartass with the concept of an "ideal" frequency. By default this is configured for battery saving, so this is NOT a gaming or benchmark governor! Additionally, to make it "snappy", Smartmax has "touch poke". So input events from the touchscreen will boost the cpu for a specific time to a specific frequency. Developed by XDA user Maxwen.

8: IntelliMM

A rewrite of the old Min Max governor and has 3 cpu states: Idle, UI and Max. Intelliminmax (intellimm) governor is designed to work with the newer SOCs with fixed voltage rails (ie MSM8974+ SOCs). It is designed to work within those fixed voltage ranges in order to maximize battery performance while creating a smooth UI operations. It is battery friendly and spends most of the time at lower frequencies.

9: Impulse

An improved version of interactive modified by neobuddy89. Impulse aims to have a balance between battery and performance just like interactive but has some tweaks to save battery.

10: ElementalX

The ElementalX CPU governor has been specifically designed and tuned to get the best balance between battery life and performance. By default, it is more conservative than Ondemand. During routine usage, the CPU frequency does not ramp up very often. If gboost is enabled, during gaming or any other graphics intensive situation, the CPU frequencies boost much easier in order to maintain maximum performance. There is also a built in input boost.

11: Alucard

A favourite choice and one of the original governors that Alucard_24 made. Alucard is based on ondemand but has been heavily tweaked to bring better battery life and performance. It has been known to be battery friendly without sacrificing much performance.

12: Hellsactive

A heavily modified intelliactive governor by hellsgod that has been tweaked to improve battery life. Hellsactive is less aggressive compared to intelliactive so the battery life will be more like the original interactive.

Why do I need so many different GPU governors and what are they for?

1: Simple

It's a new governor for the gpu frequency scaling. It will allow a more fine grained control over how the gpu scales up and down then the previous ones. Depending how you tune it, it can be better for battery life or performance.

2: Ondemand

Much like the CPU governor, Ondemand will ramp up the frequency when a load is detected. A good balance between performance and battery savings. This is a widely used governor in qualcomm devices.

3: Powersave

Like the CPU governor, this keeps your GPU running at the lowest possible frequency. Best battery life, extreme lag in games.

4: Conservative

Like the CPU governor, this one is the opposite of Interactive; it is slow to ramp up the frequency, then quickly drops the frequency once the GPU is no longer under a certain threshold of load.

5: Performance

As the name suggests, this keeps your GPU running at the max frequency. This is a governor if you want the best possible experience in games but you don't care about your battery life.

Why do I need so many different CPU Hotplug drivers and what are they for?

1: MPDecision (disabled by intension -- do not even think of enabling it)

Qualcomm's default hotplugging driver. One of the most widely used hotplug drivers in all android devices.

2: Alucard-Hotplug

A great hotplugging driver by Alucard. It is known to be very battery friendly on devices.

3: Mako-Hotplug

A new popular hotplugging driver found in Francokernel. This is a highly configurable driver that can be configured to use dual core for light-loads and quad-core for heavy loads.

4: Zen-Decision

ZEN only onlines all cores when screen is on, it also takes thermal events into account and wont online any core back, if you're under 15% battery, or currently have a thermal event because of heat. So in the end it isn't a "real" hotplug driver, because it doesnt have any code for active hot plugging in it. That means you can't change its behavior.

5: Bricked Hotplug (has been temporary added, but then removed again from this kernel)

Conservative hotplug driver by showp1984. It is based on mpdecision but has been optimized for better balance between battery life and performance.

6: msm_sleeper (always on by default)

The main feature with this hotplug is that you can customize the screen off frequency. Two cores are always on, the third and fourth are independent and come online if needed. By default, if the load is over 80 for 400ms another core comes online. The third and/or fourth cores stay online as long as the load demands it or for a minimum of one second. While the screen is off, it goes down to a single core. Created by flar2.

7: AutoSMP

A highly-efficient hotplug driver by mrg666, works in-sync with the CPU governor to enable off-line cpu cores when the the CPU frequency reaches a high threshold and still more compute power is needed. Therefore, touch boost bloat is removed.

What are recommended settings for performance?

For a good performance you don't have to tweak anything, but use my defaults (AutoSMP/Hellsactive).
Using ElementalX as CPU governor will apply a GPU boost when GPU is at max power which should have a positive effect on gaming performance.
Using Pegasusq as CPU governor allows you to reach the highest end score in Antutu Benchmark tool.

What are recommended settings for increased battery life?

Change CPU hotplug to Alucard and CPU governor to Smartmax or Intellimm.

Can I use UKM or HKM to control kernel settings?

 

[spezi77]

Can I use UKM or HKM to control kernel settings?

HKM should work as this kernel is hells-core based. It seems that HKM is no longer available in Playstore. Do you have a download link?
I don't know about UKM, I personally never used it. Could you give it a shot?

But I can tell you that it works with KernelAdiutor.

Cheers!

 

[str3tch72]

Another thing to flash! Really thanks for support. I will try it ASAP and give feedback.

HKM here. Sound control never work for me in KernelAdiutor, and it don't have C-States control too. I'll try UKM and post here later.

 

[kol1124]

Installed, now just testing how it works

HKM works in general.

You should not enter Display Control, otherwise FC. It's because the kernel has Franco's gamma control instead of the one by faux123.

 

[spezi77]

Btw, I have added performance profiles (francescofranco). But I am not sure how to get them working. But I believe that this can be achieved with Franco's kernel manager..

 

[str3tch72]

Kernel is smooth. Working great with cooperation with DU10.0. Elementalx is Nice governor, no random reboots, cold and no glitches here.
