This Kernel Is A Combination Of Many Great Developers Work​

A Small Introduction :​

• This kernel is for AOSP/CM Based ROMs only! and it's for Android Kitkat 4.4.4
• It doesn't contain any recovery in it, so the recovery you have won't be changed
• And it is basically a mixture between some kernels like (Pimped/Mosh/DooM)
• Many more features from many other kernels will be added as well maybe soon
• I'll try to keep providing updates, at least every three days (minor updates)

Kernel flashed, will be back with rapport

 

[ch3mn3y]

Unlock 2.7ghz I write as (maybe) future user of Z Ultra one

 

[tudki]

Hi Folks
It`s to silent in the compact forums thats why I response.
First this is a awesome Kernel, I have been running it today with default settings. Incredible 2.4GHz result in considerably faster starting of big apps, the Phone didn`t heat up at all , battery drain is slightly increased and I haven`t had any crashes. I`m realy impressed.
Thanks a lot Omeira.
Maybe someone would like to share recommended settings for good battery or performence, I don`t know all this new govenors.

 

[Tommy-Geenexus]

I have enabled 2.4GHz and if it's stable enough I can enable 2.7GHz if anyone's interested
there will be no DT2W feature so don't piss me off by asking about it

How about 3ghz?

source can be found here:
https://bitbucket.org/morfic/trinity_five

i got it to work on my N5, and it worked pretty well.

 

[ch3mn3y]

I think 3ghz is too much, but if u unlock it and made ultra version i will try it on my phone (phablet ) to see how stable it will be on 3ghz (power is coming )

I think is better place for now to write what i wrote in zu pimped thread

If i,can i have small request: row i/o as i tried most possible set ups on pimped and nightmare on 2 first cores and pegasusq on two remaining + row on internal and vr on sd is the best (at least for me) <-- and im just missing row scheduler (however its possible that i didnt find it in ur thread)

However for more safe work on 3.0ghz u would need to add some steps like 2.5, 2.6, 2.8, 2.9. That way it will not jump so much in one moment (from 2.4 to 3 or form 2.7 to 3)

Yes I think 3.0GHz is too much as well, though I might try to include it later
and @ch3mn3y,, sure, I'll add adding ROW I/O to the to-do-list, and BTW I have made a build of this kernel for togari,
do you wonna test it? , cuz if the kernel is doing fine on togari, I'll start supporting it as well

Regards,
Omar.

 

[ch3mn3y]

send it. sure i will test it. it wont burn my phone

PS. Its based on c6833 or c6806 (like most kernels)? As they are lte versions and other can use it as well

i'll build a kernel for togari with 3ghz oc when i have my computer back.

i'll do a pull-request then if its half-way stable.

Fair enough

[ch3mn3y]

U can create thread in ultra's section so i (and maybe others) wont make mess here with Qs about ZU's version

I will, as soon as someone confirms to me that it works on togari,
also you can send me pm for now if you want

Regards,
Omar.

 

[ch3mn3y]

Ok. Its working (at least wirh CarbonROM. I can OC to 2.4 ghz, but i cant use voltage menu form PimpMyZ1 app, could with pimped

 

[->---]

Not working for XZ1. Phone does not boot, black screen, no LED, Fastboot Mode working to recover it.

u must be aware of what misleading information you are sharing here ?





@OmarEinea
Great work
Awesome Kernel ..
detail feedback sent through PM

Thanks for making CM ROM'S more smoother

 

[OmarEinea]

Yeah it doesn't work using PimpMyZ1 app on amami as weel (that happen after adding 2.4GHz OC),
though it works using any other app, and you know what,
PimpMyZ1 is out-dated so you'll have to use another app to have control over all features this kernel has,

I believe PimpMyZ1 gives FC if you try to Control CPU voltage because this kernel contains 268MHz step, which never existed on pimped

Not working for XZ1. Phone does not boot, black screen, no LED, Fastboot Mode working to recover it.

I believe I didn't give you a link for Honami's build of this kernel!
did you try flashing the zip from this thread?
or someone else gave you a link to honami's build?

cuz it's usual to have the brick you had if you flash a kernel for amami on honami


Regards,
Omar.

 

[ch3mn3y]

Do you know any other app with per core governor support?

Sent using C6833 - Carbon KitKat/Pimped Z1 Kernel

 

[->---]

I just tried the amami version. Because somewhere here I read something about Z1 U which is nearly the same hardware. I just wondered because Z1 C has another CPU. So I gave it a try. ?
