[KERNEL][E6653/E6633/E6683] Zach's Kernel Playground for Z5, WIP (work in progress)

[Mason76]

One guy wants full 8 cores used,

another one wants 6 cores used

in any case:

use EX Kernel Manager to control it

or do it manually via init.qcom.post_boot.sh , look for msm8994 section

there also might be things to change in init.sony.cpu_parameter.sh

in ex there is no possibility to disable the kernel, this option is gone ... why it should be deleted, gradually and. What is the meaning in 4x large kernels, if they work at 800MHz

@zacharias.maladroit i just had a reboot now... Was using titanium backup to backup and opened theme manager to apply a theme, after applying tha phone freezes n reboots.
Im on I.2.12_3

 

[whalesplaho]

Saw Logos_I.2_12_17_batt_t2.

Downloaded and will flash right away to test.

Dude just stop. Zach gave you a few more methods to activate the disabled cores in his reply. At least have the decency to actually do some reading and research before making whiny comments about how something someone else created is not up to your taste.
Perhaps if Zach made 8 cores enabled you probly would complain that ur Z5 is too hot anyway.
XDA is free, constructive feedback is good but please dont whine about the things that you are taking for granted.
Just. Stop.

dude you understand that on the early kernels up to 1.5.4 in ex manager was able to disable and enable all 4 large cores or 2 cores. that possibility disappeared with the release of new kernels. what for then add and fix bugs, but at the same time cut that then the phone is hot on 8 cores horror as it is a fact, on 6 cores even less can be used and the acb lives longer. dak what's the point if all the a57 ​​kernels are included, but from trotting they work at 800mhz under load and they warm the phone and eat the acb, when you can leave 2 cores a57, the performance does not change, but the acb and temperature of the device are yes and the ability to turn on \ disable the kernel was lost in the new kernels. we are all sitting in the testers stage, so here I am and say my observations on the use of kernels and telleyoga in general. if you like using a stove, please

Which's the most up to date kernel for LOS?

Are you living USB connection problems with this version? Due to USB issue I passed to previous version.

haha - you got a point there

it must be clear by now: the cores are consuming NO energy if they are idle - so it doesn't matter if they are plugged in or not, in fact hotplugging generally is disadvised since it causes issue, has inherent issue,
causes delays and doesn't work reliably any (like I wrote countless times in the past)

there are following (possible) hotplug [or cpu control] mechanisms interfering with each other

• - perfd (via msm_performance or other entity)
• - msm_performance
• - BCL (in case of heat build-up, so there's usually no need for worry)
• - core_ctl
• - core_ctl + core_ctl_helper
• - some others (?)
• - kernel/cpu.c , threads

in the recent test builds - the following was enabled:

• - msm_performance (without hotpluggin functionality)
• - CPUIDLE
• - kernel/cpu.c , threads -> cpu 0 (little cluster), 4 (big cluster), 0-3, 4 are constantly plugged in [otherwise it causes instabilities and this ensures lowest power consumption - this has been for a long time this way, except cores 1-3]

now if you guys are crying about keeping 4 on - it has been that way with AndroPlus and other custom kernels the same, first forcing most threads to the little cluster (0-3 cores) has allowed sigificant power savings (10-33% compared to stock)

@Mason76

what language are you coming from (native language) and how do you post ?

are you using a translation service ?

no offense - sometimes it's a bit hard to decipher what you actually mean

I most of the times get the gist but sometimes not

Thanks

I dnt have buddy....

 

[omerergun1123]

Hmm. I installed kernel from command Window. This time I will flash it from recovery maybe something changes. Anyway thanks

I'm Russian. And I'm using Google translator, it's just as hard for me to communicate thoughts to you because the translator is not correct. I rolled back on the kernel greylechy
I am using stock 54 7.1.1 rom

 

[chitose_ndy]

Hello,

I installed the latest version on my 54 fw stock..
somehow, few hours ago, my sdcard is not detected by the system anymore
But if i boot to recovery, the sdcard is actually there and detected,
does anyone have an idea why it happened?
Im trying to troubleshoot also by myself..
But would be nice if someone had this problem before and willingly to share the solution..

Thanks!

 

[whalesplaho]

I had a reboot @zacharias.maladroit....
Logos.I.2_12_17....

Faux sound Working?

Edit: headphone sound is boosted pretty well but from what i red that the faux app has some interface that is pretty useful

I'm trying Kaspersky ? life also as combo with this kernel.
Great simpel app.

I use Greenify + prevent
Kaspersky and cleaner apps are sketchy dont like them.

 

[whalesplaho]

downgraded kernel to I.1_13_2..... latest kernels drains alot!

Good Tip

 

[Ara Seferian]

Anyone tried playing music on an AUX adapter?
Music pauses after few seconds.. I'm suspecting the new sound mod installed in the latest kernel since i had a similar problem when i tried messing with mixer-path file long time ago (fixed by returning stock values).
But problem solved when rolling back to old kernel.
Probably hardware limitation???

No, there's actually a change that is supposed to "fix" issues with AUX - that might be the cause for this "behavior"

thanks for testing & posting feedback
