[Kernel][STABLE] Turbo Z Custom Kernel for Moto Z

[enetec]

First Custom Kernel for Moto Z Released
...
Todo :
add other CPU governor
...
you tell

I've done a lot of experiment with different governors, overclock, underclock, etc... on other phones and I've found Darkness governor is a REAL battery saver (expecially during screen off time...). If you want to add one, add this!

I'm quite sure we'll have more autonomy with 2.15 GHz & Darkness than on stock... :fingers-crossed:

Is your kernel already compatible with Antutu CPU Master and/or FauxClock too?

Anyway.... really a great work!!! :good:

P.S.: how did you solve wifi issue?

 

[vittogn]

new version available

about wake gestures i have to port from "mi note 3 ElementalX-kernel" (because of atmel touchscreen driver)
i working on Overclocking too
and good news is 2 versions are combined and compressed more (~45MB => ~10MB)

ENJOY

Is the new version in the OP? V 0.5a?
Tx

could you please send some kernel source of any msm8996 device with darkness governor
because when i added darkness, my device won't booted i want to see where i went wrong

probably

i just disabled firmware hash checking on wifi driver to get working on all devices

yeah check this out

thanks

What do you think about ElementalX govs?
Amy experience?

 

[enetec]

What do you think about ElementalX govs?
Amy experience?

No experience with that. But I've tested extensively A LOT of them and most perform worse than a simple ONDEMAND on both performance and battery life. Even if they claim miracles...

Unique exceptions I've found are Darkness and Nightmare, with Nightmare a bit instable on my tests... With Darkness if you pay a bit of attention to remove possible wakelocks, you often can obtain orizzontally lines on battery consumption during screen off. Never seen this on other govs... (except, quite close, Nightmare....).

Darkness could result a bit slower than Ondemand during intensive use, but I think that with a [email protected], this could be secondary vs. better battery life...

Is anyone aware of how this works with Moto Mods? I had some issues with my Offgrid battery not functioning when i was testing a different Boot.img.

they all work fine

 

[enetec]

Just one or two tips/questions/ideas for possible future development...

- Is it possible to create a pre-rooted kernel?
It seems to me to have seen someone some time ago elsewhere... (for other phones...)
I think it could be interesting for people interested in having an "untouched" system partition...

- Tools like Magisk that don't touch system partition, install themselves on boot.img or where?
Is there any interest in, eventually, integrate it in case?

EDIT: I've done some research and Magisk installs itself on boot.img (read: kernel...) as I suspected... and with phh's Superuser going in boot.img too this could be a way to provide a featured and pre rooted kernel even to "stock" users.... what do you think about it?

Hi Efran and JanJan,

I really appreciate your work!

I have Moto Z X1650-3 and EU rom which works perfectly. All mods are working, however, when I install your kernel, coz I want to change the governor and I/O Schedule, the Camera Mod (Hasselblad) doesn't work and the camera app force quit.

Could you please look into this! Thanks.

Oh Thanks for your feedback I'll fix it soon

Edit : I've find out problem it's about V4L2 module

 

[aimanz]

Many thanks for finding out the issue. But how to fix it?

 

[erfanoabdi]

Many thanks for finding out the issue. But how to fix it?

really i don't know too, there is no source code for missing module to compile so i opened this on official Motorola source code if they answer to me i'll fix it soon

thanks for using my kernel

Does this issue affect camera mod only?

 

[erfanoabdi]

Does this issue affect camera mod only?

Yeah V4L2 is driver for decoding some data's from camera mod

I think Motorola forgot to publish source code.
Because of GPL license any kernel modules should be open source
So we're still waiting...

Oops : maybe this modules affect on focus too (I'm not sure) :crying:

 

[yanniclord]

I can confirm that the Focus issue was fixed, but Infinity Focus is still missing.

Are you sure?
Please try again I'm pretty sure infinity focus is working (on stock camera app)

Infinity Focus doesn't exist on the Stock Camera, only in Camera FV-5

I found it on professional mode
(Sorry about my room and photo)

Oh ok, i see. Anyways, for more professional pictures, you need Camera FV-5 because the Stock Camera does not have Aperture and Shutter Speed options.
