    Hello colleague good afternoon.

    Currently I decided to reinstall this kernel.

    with versions 7.2, 8.0

    I always had problems with the default frequencies.

    v8.5 I never installed it because of my bad experience with the previous ones.

    I just noticed v8.6
    and it is the one that runs my s20 fe 5g.

    It is worth mentioning that the frequencies are already stable, they do not move alone as before.

    So far I'm stable with that, only the Gpu, I can't lower it to 587 mhz, when I close the kernel manager (ex-kernel manager, franco, smartkernel)

    When I reopen it, it goes back up to 820 mhz.

    i only use 820mhz in samsung dex mode.

    the rest of the time I would like to have it on 587 mhz.

    Currently I'm still in February and binary 4.

    *G781B
    *February 2023 patch

    greetings.
    Hello. The gpu governor is actually smart enough to scale the frequencies. It rarely scales to 820MHz unless you're running a graphics benchmark or a very heavy game.

    Details:
    • Based on latest Samsung open source drop​
    • Compiled with the Clang 12 + full LTO GCC 12.2​
    Instructions:
    • Assuming you have a custom recovery installed, simply download and flash the kernel zip. This kernel uses Anykernel 3 so no need to reflash magisk(if you use magisk) after installing it.

    Changelog:
    v6.1 (December 31, 2022)

    • Fixed missed memory management code warnings due to recent changes in v6.0
    • Fixed coding warnings for better code quality
    • Enabled zero initialization for stack variables for better security and stability
    • Compiled with latest GCC 12.2.1

    v6.0 (December 26, 2022)
    • Reverted more of CAF's memory management changes
    • Disabled memcg to allow lmkd to use the more efficient PSI (pressure stall information)
    • Disabled per-cgroup pressure tracking to reduce overhead
    • Disabled lots of debugging from the wlan driver
    • Disabled lots of logging spam
    • Disabled hardened usercopy to reduce memory overhead
    • Fixed incorrectly affined cpus for kgsl. This bug has been present since PrimeKernel v2.0 due to a coding mistake
    • Updated source base to latest Android 13 kernel source (G781BXXU4GVK6)

    v5.2 (December 4, 2022)
    • Speed up pm_qos
    • Imported some optimized libs
    • Killed lots of logging
    • Reverted CAF's messed up memory management changes
    • Disabled process reclaim
    • Fixed memory safety issues for various MSM drivers for better stability and security
    • Disabled lots of debugging and logging from qcacld driver (this resulted in several hundred kilobytes shaved off from the kernel binary size)

    v5.1-beta (November 16, 2022)
    • Rewrote ashmem for clarity and performance
    • Imported several optimized libraries
    • Converted cpumasks to atomic to reduce expensive operations
    • Selectively applied compiler optimizations to some parts of the kernel
    • Use kmem_cache for some drivers to reduce (de)-/allocation
    • Disabled some security suits
    • Disabled SCHED_DEBUG
    • Re-added MGLRU
    • Compiled with GCC 12.2 with LTO enabled
    Note:
    If you want to squeeze a bit more performance, just rename this zip file and add -perf.
    Perf variant has fewer CPU frequencies for better performance​

    v5.0 (November 11, 2022)
    • More stability fixes
    • Lots of under-the-hood optimizations
