Welcome to kerNoleOC, an overclocked kernel for T31x devices!!

This kernel should work for all Lineage14.1-based roms.

THIS WILL NOT WORK FOR STOCK TOUCHWIZ-BASED ROMS (may release one later)

kerNoleOC is based on the same kernel we use for Lineage with only the required changes to implement 1.8ghz OC and Undervolting.

There are two one version for each device:
  • kerNoleOC-1.8 - defaults to 1.8ghz on startup (approximate 15-18% boost in Antutu benchmark)
    [*]kerNoleOC-1.6 - defaults to 1.6ghz on startup

NOTE: Use your favorite cpu control app to apply the OC/UV settings that work best for your device.

Not every device will perform well at 1.8ghz. If you have issues, choose a lower setting or return to the kernel provided with your rom.


DOWNLOADS

INSTALLATION
  • Download the .img file of your choice and flash using TWRP or Flashify.



DISCLAIMER:
If you are not familiar with the effects that running an overclocked kernel can have on your device, then you probably should not flash this kernel. I take no responsibility for anything you choose to do to your device.



Many of the features (prior to CM13) for this kernel are credited to @ketut.kumajaya and @tohenk.

I'm very new with custom kernels, so in this particular kernel what are the benefits in battery life and performance on the tablet? Sorry if it isn't a proper question. Thanks

Increased cpu speed can provide faster performance (battery life may be a little less).

In my Antutu benchmark tests, I saw an increased score of about 18%.

Overclocked kernels aren't typically used if you are looking for the best possible battery life, but this kernel also provides undervoltage control. By undervolting, you can gain battery life, but you have to be careful with the settings.

Hey Gr8nole (and others who may know); what is a recommended app for overclocking? I'd like to try the 1.8 version but have never o/c'd a tablet.

I usually use TricksterMod kernel settings or Kernel Adiutor (yes, that is how it is spelled).

I believe TricksterMod requires Busybox to be installed separately though.

Great. Thanks. I'm gonna put away this old S1 Captivate I'm playing with and try some overclocking on my tablet :)

Any other T311 users have this issue?
Same here max freq is 1.5 GHz in both the images.

Was able to get 1.8 GHz in the alpha,

However Tab was able to charge very fast using these two images 1.6 and 1.8. ??. Haven't seen 900mA + in a long time.

Can someone recommend stable O/C setting with whatever cpu app you use for T310? I've never o/c before.
Stable O/C and U/V settings are heavily device dependent. Your mileage may vary for each device.

Best way to check is to

1. keep a backup of your older kernel to restore
2. do not enable o/c, u/v on boot until you have tested the settings more than a couple of weeks.
3. Keep testing your o/c, u/v settings till you find a stable combination
4. Do not enable Governors that remain in peak cpu speed like performance
5. Monitor the CPU, device temperature don't let it over heat.

Welcome to kerNoleOC, an overclocked kernel for T31x devices!!

This kernel should work for all CM13-based roms (including CM13, Bliss, and others based on CM13).

THIS WILL NOT WORK FOR STOCK TOUCHWIZ-BASED ROMS (may release one later)

kerNoleOC is based on the same kernel we use for CM with only the required changes to implement 1.8ghz OC and Undervolting.
Compiled using Linaro 6.0 toolchain

There are two versions for each device:
  • kerNoleOC-1.8 - defaults to 1.8ghz on startup (approximate 15-18% boost in Antutu benchmark)
  • kerNoleOC-1.6 - defaults to 1.6ghz on startup

NOTE: Use your favorite cpu control app to apply the OC/UV settings that work best for your device.

Not every device will perform well at 1.8ghz. If you have issues, choose a lower setting.

Works well with your CM13 port on my T310, which doesn't run reliably at 1.8 GHz, so I appreciate the kernel that defaults to 1.6.
Thank you

T311 user here.

After trying T311.kerNoleOC-1.8.img (feb 9, 2016) max freq stays at 1.5GHz.

Going back to T311_kerNoleOC_Alpha-1.img, max freq is 1.8GHz.
Same here max freq is 1.5 GHz in both the images.

Was able to get 1.8 GHz in the alpha,

However Tab was able to charge very fast using these two images 1.6 and 1.8. ??. Haven't seen 900mA + in a long time.

Can you guys provide screenshots of your kernel settings app showing the available frequencies? Thanks.

Edit: Nevermind guys. I see what I forgot. Will update shortly.
