I am getting severe battery drain issues on my poco f1, I'm using pixel experience plus on android 11, I using the processor at minimum frequency without GPU boost, still I can't get a decent battery.
My battery health is good (3988).
Will reinstalling fix the issue? Or should I change the rom???

Using lowest frequencies wont help in battery life, it will take a lot of time to process tasks instead of doing them quicly and returning to idle afterwards. (Race to idle) You battery may need replacement tho, many f1 users are replacing batteries lately. Before that, try stock kernel if its same then yea your battery is getting bad.

Which rom is that? Is it a gaming miui modded rom/port ? Selinux is permissive
stock lineage os 17.1 im refferring to the oneplus 2 version of the kernel btw...i get excellent performance on this kernel (even while gaming)..the only problem is the random reboots.

really hard to find a good custom kernel for this device as good as this.. so im hoping you can fix this for me.

That's a ROM issue. I was getting similar battery drain with at 3596 battery health in MIUI, MIUI.eu, EliteRom, Corvus, PixelExperience, ResurrectionRemix (all + NGK) at ~7-10% battery drain overnight even on extreme/ultra battery saver modes with Battery profile + Battery thermals in NGK App.

Now I'm on clean flashed PixelPlusUI v3.10 + NGK v2.4.1, where overnight battery drain is ~3%, and on low usage I need to charge after ~1.5 days instead of ~1 day.

Is anyone using ngk with eliterom? Flashing ngk always end up in poco logo . Please help
I've had the same issues - both with 2.4.1 and upgrading from 2.1->2.4.1 in recovery. Had success with installing 2.1, boot into system, installed the no gravity app and update from there. Working flawlessly so far. Guess the recovery mess something.

My phone dont stand 800 mhz GPU. Benchmarks and games are crashing. 710mhz works perfectly. Now, is there 10.3.7 version with performance profile and with GPU 710 mhz default so I dont have to root and magisk because banking apps? Any other recomendation?

Nope no non-oc version. You'd have to change it manually in the kernel zip.

Are there any plans of updating support to Android 12?

Can anyone extract touch drivers from NGK v9.1.24 kernel and make it flashable? Sadly, I don't know code.

    No Gravity Kernel 1.0.0 + 4.3 App Trailer

    Hey, NoGravity Kernel dev coming from the good old OnePlus 2 here! I'm a graduating student in computer science and I actually work as a programmer. I made a pretty solid kernel for that old Oneplus device and even added Energy Aware Scheduling (EAS) support to it backporting new features like Dynamic Schedtune Boosting to this old 3.10 kernel. With it being pretty much at its apogee, I need a new challenge on a newer kernel (4.9+) while keeping NGK's mindset of Performance/smoothness while getting decent battery life due to added battery oriented features.

    For those who want a to know more about my work here is the link to NoGravity Kernel for OnePlus 2.

    iaHQ9D3.jpg

    The Kernel will boot using stock (Pocophone F1) CPU & GPU frequencies that correspond to the Balance Profile when Magisk is present. Overclocked frequencies can be selected in any kernel manager app. Other profiles for battery, performance and gaming can be switched to in my app.

    ApF0jYF.jpg

    To tweak the kernel easily, here's my No Gravity app! featuring custom profiles (Battery, Balanced, Performance and Gaming). My app offers some features that cant be found in other kernel tweaking apps. You can find them lower in the thread.)

    This kernel should work on any ROM/Ports! Since I love OnePlus and I'm myself a OnePlus 2 user, I will do my best to fully support OOS ports.
    Reported to work on: OnePlus 6 Holi Edition, OnePlus 7 OB8 & OB8 Quince, Quarantine Edition. OxygenOS devs do not support custom kernels so if you face any issues with NGK don't post in their groups, post here instead. Latest OOS may have calling issues as reported by some users.

    v0BMu0X.jpg

    -I recommend before coming to conclusion, give it at least 2 complete charge cycles and then raise any issue.
    -I recommend to use my app, franco app or EX Kernel Manager if you need to tweak the kernel further
    -CPUs since Snapdragon 845 can't be overclocked from kernel this is why it is removed

    LBRCN7g.jpg

    -Flash No_Gravity_Kernel-vX.X.zip file in TWRP (Latest TWRP Recovery Recommanded)
    -(Optional) - Clear cache and Dalvik => if you do so, Use App Optimization button in NGK App.

      -KLapse (Brightness and Daytime modes)
      -Backlight Dimmer

    OnePlus 2:
    • DDR Input Boost Toggle

    Kernel 1.3:
    • Fixed Screen Freezes

    • Sched cleanup
    • Added FIOPS,BFQ,ANXIETY I/O Schedulers
    • Updated thermals
    • Brought back RCU 4.14 backport

    Notes:
    • Max GPU frequency of 835MHz is only reachable manually as I don't consider it fully stable. On the other side, 820MHz Overclock is stable and is used in my profiles.
    • I wanted to use relatively longer dynamic schedtune boost duration compared to input boosts so made them separate in terms of length.
    • I would recommend turning off No Gravity app toast notifications from Magisk Manager app.

    • Updated AnyKernel3 changes (No Need to flash magisk after updating!)
    • Always upstreamed to latest! (4.9.210)
    • And many more under the hood changes...

    Notes:
    • Thermal Suspend API : This is a small API I’ve written in the kernel directly (to make sure no background services are running for it) that unsets NGK thermals when screen turns off and enables them back when screen is turned back on. (This fixes some issues on some specific ROMs where screen wouldn’t turn on or phone would random reboot while device sleeps or is charging)
    • There is now a camera fix version to fix camera on ROMs with Q-Blobs like MIUI Q, so if your camera isn't working flash this one.

    Kernel 1.1 Pie Edition:
    • NoGravity Kernel v1.1 now working on Pie ROMs
    • Using v1.0 Base

    Notes:
    • This kernel uses v1.0 base so will work on both Android Pie and Q ROMs/Ports/MIUI
    • From now on releases will be separate in 2 builds: [9] and [10]. People on Android 10 should use [10] builds since it is rebased to Full Q CAF sources even tho [9] build would still work.


    1.1 Build: Welcome to No Gravity Kernel App for Pocophone!

    NoGravity Kernel App v3.1:

    • Pocophone F1 support added
    • Balance(Default),Performance,Battery & Gaming Profiles*
    • Precise CPU temperature for both Clusters separately

    Kernel 1.1:
    • Rebased completely to full Q CAF (LineageOS Staging)

    • Always upstreamed to latest! (4.9.206)
    • And many more under the hood changes...

    Notes:
    • Profiles also have a QSTile for fast switching
    • If you didn’t already know it was only placebo/performance wouldn’t change, but don’t worry there are other ways to make performance better
    • If you want charging throttling, you can set it back on here by setting the value to N instead of Y: sys/modules//sys/module/smb_lib/parameters/skip_thermal
    • MIUI ROM/Port variants may have some issues but I didn't have much testers on those so please send logs if you have issues

    Useful stuffs

    Clean flashing a kernel:
    1. Boot into recovery
    2. Wipe dalvik/art cache, cache, system and vendor(if recovery have this option)
    3. Reboot into recovery (only needed on some recoveries)
    4. Flash latest ROM zip
    (Optional) Flash other zips like GApps, DFE, etc depending on ROM and your preference
    5. Flash latest Magisk zip
    6. Reboot into system (yes boot with stock kernel first)
    7. Reboot into recovery
    8. Flash latest NGK Kernel zip
    9. Reboot and enjoy

    Not to be confused with a ROM clean flash!
    Do not wipe data or internal storage!


    Encryption fix

    For the ones who uses an encrypted device, those steps needs to be done to worl properly with NGK:

    To those who are facing screen flicker/bootloop upon flashing NGK on an encrypted device.

    1. Dirty flash your current ROM and boot into system.
    2. change your password to whatever you want then click on "No" when it shows "Secure Start-up".
    3. Boot into recovery then flash NGK. You will notice that it will not ask for a password even though you are encrypted.


    Taking logs

    Screen Freezes:
    -Connect phone to PC
    -Run following commands in terminal:
    [*]adb shell
    [*]dmesg

    Random Reboots:
    -When the random reboot occurs press the TWRP button combo to got straight into TWRP
    -Send the pstore folder as a .zip file located in /sys/fs/

    Any runtime kernel/app related crashes that doesnt make the device reboot or freeze:
    -Use Matlog app on play store
    -Start recording before the issue
    -Stop recording after the issue
    -Send the .zip file created


    Charging:

    Okay lets break it down for yall.

    Every kernel on every device has WARM_TEMP and HOT_TEMP values which are usually always 45 and 50 respectively.

    When device reaches 40-42C charging rate will decrease more and more until it reaches about 45C where device will stop charging even if its plugged in for safety reasons. Battery must not charge when they are this hot.

    Battery thermal removal: this will prevent throttling before battery reaches about WARM_TEMP. Once battery reaches about 45C there is nothing in the world you can do. So yea battery thermal removal is still safe, just a matter of preference because if charging throttles before reaching 45C it will heat less then continue charging but if charging doesnt throttle yea it will charge charge faster under 45C but may heat more so you may hit 45C faster. So as in every other tweaks it depends on user.

    As per my tests I would get about those but that may vary for you:
    Battery temp (°C) - Charging rate (mA) tuples
    46-1800
    45-1800
    44-2000
    43-2600
    42-2800


    What else? oh yea here are some tips for you to lower temps (cause yes some of you charge while playing pubg..)

    Tips for lowering temps:
    -Turn off NGK thermals from NGK APP

    Right you all need to understand thermals first.. A lot of users are just asking best thermals, best this, best that.. there is no universal bests..

    Thermals will throttle performance depending on heat generated.. so yes there is a gain in performance when using NGK thermals because performance will throttle at higher temperatures. Why do I say it depends? Well someone living in a hot place and is getting high temps and throttling will use NGK thermals so he gets more performance for the same temperature point but there is always throttling else a phone would heat too much in the end and be really unsecure and all. That being said, if your device throttle with stock thermals then you go ngk thermals it will throttle at higher temps but in the end may still throttle and if you hit too high temps it will throttle even harder to keep temps low. For those people using normal thermals would be best since yea performance will throttle but it will prevent the phone from getting higher temps which could lead to more intense throttling. (Can also read about charging above you may want more aggressive thermals that will throttling performance to reduce heat so you can charge phone)

    So next tip:

    -Reduce Big cluster max frequency as this cluster is a hest generator
    -Use another profile than Gaming! (Performance for me is best because its less aggressive, some people prefer balance for gaming)

    All in all, try stuffs by yourself I think I did my part guiding you through all this, the best things you can do is the best things for yourself not necessarily the best for others.


    Touchscreen Tests (NGK v1.5.5):

    Spent a whole week with testers to just sit down and find the firmware to choose and then rebuild the drivers from the groud up.. but first here's an intro

    Intro:
    Small intro for everyone cause many people confuse many things..

    -Panels: We have 3 main panels:
    FTS, NVT REV1 & NVT REV2

    -Touch firmware: comes in kernel and also in ROMs but kernel will flash its inbuilt firmware if the kernel firmware checksum is different to the one already present in ROM

    -Touch Drivers: comes in kernel and those dont have numbers/versions its up to the kernel dev to make changes it those so stop asking for driver version no one can answer that precisely compared to firmware


    Tests:
    Alright now enough talking, the tests and results.

    -Panels:
    For FTS panels, using stock xiaomi drivers was fine no touch issues seem to happen since those went out.
    For NVT panels, some had touch issues on rev1 and rev2 depending on firmware used while keeping xiaomi stock drivers so below tests were focusing on NVT mostly

    -Firmware:
    We tried 3 firmware and the ones who remained are 9.1.24 and 10.3.7 since other one gave issues

    So I did incremental test builds modifying drivers for both firmware

    -Drivers:
    For drivers, as said before I reverted all changes to xiaomi stock drivers from their source. Some issues were present for some on both firmware version and different issues on both panel revisions (rev1 and rev2)
    -Latency:
    some issues was only related to latency and I knew latency was going to be better by optimizing the drivers later on
    -Touch issues:
    So based on that, I only took account of the issues present between firmware for each driver changes
    Part 1:
    Part 1 was updating novatech drivers from a CAF source that can be seen in my kernel source. So did that, compiled 2 versions again fixed some small issues here and there like firmware flashing wasnt working, touch didn't work at first and some bootup issues, anyway main thing is that novatech driver were updated a bit with less variable locking and such coding changes making the driver faster. Results after that were good it fixed some people's issues but latency wasnt perfect.
    -Part2:
    Now was time to optimize the drivers and did for both NVT and FTS (most of those optimizations were seen in previous ngk versions) but needed to add them again and add some more and see how they impact (cause not every optimizations means better results, some optimizations introduced issues)


    Conclusion:
    So in the end if TLDR
    The conclusion was that issues were fixed after some driver changes as some optimizations made them worst, 9.1.24 firmware gave better touch (mostly under load or heat a.k.a for gamers) and didnt impact day to day users hence why NGK uses now 9.1.24 drivers.

    BUT that is based on the fact that I reviewed the drivers from official xiaomi source, then updating them, then doing specific optimizations, other kernels may have different results or different ways of doing tests, thats just how I did it.

    So yea for people who wont like touch, I will send this cause I did work on it to give better touch to most users and limiting the touch issues. I still dont think its possible to have perfect latency and perfect touch due to our phone but here's what has been done..

    Are we waiting for a new update? If we are going to be honest, of course we are but @Pierre2324 actually doesn't owe us anything.
    He'll release if when he feels like it, there should be no pressure from our part.
    Battery drain is not the main issue here, it depends on the rom you're using.
    What needs to be fixed is the screen freezes that occurs on any rom when the touch firmware doesn't fit your panel.
    But then again, this might not affect some people that already has the correct specific unit for that firmware version.
    How can this be fixed? Revert back to the 1.5 or release 2 variants of touch firmwares for the next update.

    Exactly, it takes time cause Im re-doing the app from scratch. There will be more features too. Sorry for the wait but it will be worth it. Im working on something for thermals too on kernel side so a lot of testing is done for that too. You are right and ngk 1.6 will come in 2 variants for people having touch issues on one of the firmware.

    To answer the other guy, cant blame kernel directly for battery drain issues. Why? Because most users dont face those. Unless it was a general issue where everyone would see worst drain then yea we could blame kernel for it but on my side I never really see my idle go above 0.9%/h on any profile even performance and I listen to music a lot screen off.

    Conclusion, dont worry yall Im still actively working on ngk + app, just that 1.6 is quite big and cant push an half baked update also quarantine is still present here but im no longer at home with a lot of time to spare on development Im back to work since a month so I work on android stuffs at night and on weekends + testing during the day.

    Thanks for your understanding. Stay safe guys and defy gravity?
