Hey guys. Figured I'd let you all know why I've been quiet lately. Recently there was q bug in CAF that broke WiFi on legacy devices. I spent the last two weeks fixing it and trying to figure out what was wrong. After a bit of testing, only 1-2 bugs remain. Everything else works on Paranoid.
You will see my work from Paranoid on Candy after I release. Here are some things to look forward to:
I've taken the code from a driver by mgr666 called AutoSMP. It includes patches from Dorimanx and Neobuddy and also does a way better job than CPUQuiet and the MPDecision binary throughout our tests. Cores come on less frequently, it boosts to a more conservative frequency, and boosts cores on input as well; something the PowerHAL does not support. This driver has been tuned by me for optimum performance and battery life. It is working really really well and I look forward to showcasing it here in my new kernel.
Interactive has been fine tuned for optimum usage using the basis of the guide created for Bullhead. It performs very very well and doesn't unnecessarily ramp up the CPU speed. These tunings with Blu Active will become the default here
The OOS 3 kernel I'm now using has been merged with the latest CAF tags and has a more up to date version of F2FS unseen in any kernel for Onyx to date. It will also allow for updates from 3.10 as well.
Paranoid will ship with double tao to sleep on the statusbar. I implemented it today with the help of the team. We removed a lot of junk from Cyanogen
You may see performance profiles too
Exclusive to Candy:
Thanks to
@YumeMichi, the camer a HAL has been merged with OOS 3 sources
I will be adding perfd back. It is very useful for load statistics and sends the information to the Power HAL which I will revamp
Snapdragon Camera from Paranoid will become the default camera app
Several other changes are coming as well. Keep am eye on the Gerrit
Candy will not be updated for a week or so after the release of Paranoid
