[KERNEL] UniKernel v8-0002 COH9 [G920 /925]
- Thread starter g.lewarne
- Start date
Seems to work like it should. Just installed. I'll will try to use 3C CPU tool and see if I can shut down two cores like they do in the M9 thread. Like a batterysaver 
Edit.
Playing the hobbit, not a lot of moving graphics the seems to be a bit warmer. I'll use it until tomorrow and report back. But it feels snappy and to be doing what I should.
I'm interested in oc the 53s and uc the 57s in the future, mostly to check if it gives an edge in battery.

Can anyone suggest a kernel tweaking app compatible with the S6? Coming over from a HTC M8 and TricksterMod doesn't seem to be compatible.
I have uninstalled the test kernel, phone went hot during a game, consumed more battery ( antutu bench was not that great, and I know benchmark say nothing but I do always run it a day after install ) and it was not so smooth ( at least not for me 920F ) so personally this was a no go. Your normal kernel acts way better.
Thank for the feedback Jayden. Your respone was Actually somewhat expected.
V02b beta which ill pop up today at some point is much better in the heat and battery regard. It also enables 200mhz minimum on both the apollo and atlas cores.
I have no such issues. Running smooth here. I don't play games so can't comment on that.
On Samsung devices Interactive seems to work better than Ondemand governor. A bit more responsive.
Drain seems the same for me with this test kernel compared to previous.
And a personal opnion, but death to all benchmark apps!

yeah i only run benchmark apps to make sure things are working, i am not interested in the actual results. It entirely depends what your phone decides to do, in the background, when you run one that determines your score. I had an antutu of 81k once, I must have run it at just the right moment when nothing was going on, every other time im around 70k. And you are quite correct, i think interactive is a little more responsive. I just dont like it because it tends to ramp down more slowly compared with ondemand, which seems a bit wasteful.
I have discovered somehting interesting about the S6 though. most curious
Ill have the next beta kernel up today. features:
- Updated to AOD8 kernel source (includes charger and fuelguage fixes, flash led Always-On-Dim fix, Platform updates and Sound codec updates)
- 200Mhz lowspeed enabled for Apollo (.LITTLE) and atlas (.big) cores
- Fixed heat issues for v02a beta
- Tuned compiler flags
- CPU and GPU voltage control interface courtesy of AndreiLux (untested)
- Full DeepSleep fix (flash kernel straight after first TWRP flash, deep sleep not an issue - tested)
- SensorHub firmware update

+1 I'm mostly interested in battery on this phone, is anything over clocked?

nope, nothing overclocked. Just enabled *lower* clocks on both CPU types (200MHz)

208~~~~S6 UniKernel~~~~
For Galaxy S6 920 F / I / S / K / L / T / W8 For Galaxy S6 925 F / I / S / K / L / T / W8
For Lollipop 5.1.1 only!
UniKernel Features
- Supports F / I / S / K / L / T / W8 variants of 920 AND 925 devices
- Supports 920FS, ID and SD Dual SIM devices
- All edge screen special functions on Edge devices working
- Built from official Samsung Sources
- Full init.d scripting support
- SE Linux set to permissive (will prevent private mode from working)
- Stock Clocks
- Fully working Auto-Root for all 5.1.1 roms
- BusyBox injection if not detected in ROM
- DriveDroid support
- CIFS / FUSE
Kernel Configuration
The TWRP flashable kernel now comes with an Aroma installer, allowing you to choose a configuration you prefer. It also comes with 3 preset options - Stock, Performance, and Battery.
The Stock preset will make the kernel behave exactly as a stock kernel - no turbo mode, CFQ scheduler, stock interactive
If no pre-existing configuration file is found on the phone, (ie - New ROM flash) the ODIN flashable kernel will also have stock behaviour.
Every Aroma option is clearly labelled with an accurate description of what the setting will change. You are free to reflash to change configurations or manually edit the /system/unikernel.prop file that is generated by the installer (and then reboot). If you choose either the performance or custom options and enable Turbo mode, do not post in this thread about poor battery life. Turbo mode costs battery. deal with it

Disclaimer
You, the User, Accept full responsibilty for anything you choose to flash to your own device. I cannot be held responsible for any loss of data, income, revenue, software or hardware damage that may occur due to the use, or attempted use of this kernel.60As i have said before and will say again, I release based on feedback from my trusted, knowledgeable testers, whose feedback i value much more than the bulk of respondents in my thread who post such wonderfully helpful things like "deepsleep bad rolling back"
Have you investigated the issues yourself? Do you even READ THE OP where i post a "stock" replacement kernel? Do you check with apps such as Better Battery Stats which might help you identify the causes of the issue, which in many many cases is an app you have installed? Do you take into account how many notifications you recieve while its sleeping, where you go, what the coverage is like, do you have GPS location still enabled, what WiFi coverage is like, etc etc
Im sorry but Im developing it how i want and if my testers say its good, its good. I will gladly take on board actually useful feedback but the bulk of the last few pages is just meaningless hearsay, to be frank. If 50% think its better and 50% think its worse, then who is actually right? perhaps its THE SAME
I have 6 extremely knowledgeable testers, some of which are well respected devs themselves of various things. They know what to look for, what compromises have to be made and how to actually investigate and feedback on any issues that arise. I trust their feedback 1000% more than what I have read on the last few pages. So im sorry, if you dont like it, use another kernel. simple as.49Hello my friends!
Sorry for my recent absence, i have beeen extremely busy with work recently, festival season and whatnot. But today i bring you a BETA of v7 - a somewhat radical and unique rethink on how to control a kernel :good:
Changelog:
- Some unification updates for LED and Motor (vibrator) differences between flat / edge models
- AROMA Installer!
The Aroma installer will allow you to choose your own kernel options during installation. It is a totally clean, app free, ROM modification free way of controlling your kernel :good: The ONLY thing that gets changed on your rom is a unique unikernel.prop file in /system which is only read by unikernel, and nothing else.
During installation you can choose:
-- Default IO scheduler
-- Turbo Mode On / Off (stock) (de-lag)
-- Interactive tweaks On / Off (Stock)
-- VM / DHA / FHA / Stock-DHA Settings
-- Inputboost On (Stock) / Off
-- GApps Wakelock Fix On/ Off (stock)
-- Audio Patch autodetected for T/W8 models or International models (allows T/W8 users to use International Roms and vice-vera)
The Aroma installer defaults to all STOCK Kernel options, each option is thoroughly described and you are free to experiment and choose your own options :good: If you want to change configuration simply reflash and choose alternatives in the Aroma installer :good:
Massive thankyou to Edgarf28 for getting me started on the Aroma installer and to all my testers who have tirelessly been trying this out over the past couple of weeks

Enjoy
EDIT: the aroma installer kernel version/date is wrong, but the build is the latest, just need to change some text in the installer which i totally forgot.. Also should add that if just the boot.img is included with ROMs without an included /system/unikernel.prop file the kernel will default to a completely stock configuration, hence no more need for UniBase
