[!UPDATE!][MOGAMI][KERNEL][ROM]//OptKernel\\[27.12.2014]

[Vynikal]

Hello community,
for some time I have been trying to make perfomance friendly kernel and ROM. I obviously haven't missed JustArchi's discovery - O3 compiling flags. Although I was first sceptic, after some days of testing (and feedbacks from brave testers) I found out this is truly masterpiece. After adding some kernel tweaks, here is result - OptKernel. Read more...

 */

Features:

- Based on LX rebase branch, brings kernel to upstream (3.4.103) and includes various fixes.
- compiled with Linaro 4.7.4
- both ROM and kernel compiled with JustArchi's optimizations (*)
- overclocked up to 1.6 GHz, underclocked down to 24 MHz
- added Dynamic FSync by faux123
- 1024 KB read-ahead
- Dynamic dirty-page writeback by Christopher83
- Fast charge available (disabled by default)
- added FRandom module
- enabled Zsmalloc
- added governors (list in changelog)
- ability to undervolt separate frequencies via VDD interface
- lowered swappiness
- Optimized read/write semaphore
- Used glibc version of memcpy/memmove (much faster than original one)
- power_efficient workqueues

And of course all features of LegacyXperia as in 20141224 sources

BUGS:
Proximity sensor doesn't work most of the time

(*) except for /hardware/qcom/display-caf/libhwcomposer, because of compile errors.

Almost all features are detaily explained in Christopher83's thread (hit thanks to him)

NOTE:
- It is not mandatory to use OptKernel only with this ROM.
The only feature of the ROM are -O3 flags and 4.8 toolchain. All other features are implemented in the kernel.
You can use OptKernel with LX's 1224 build, just flash wifi modules (2rd post). Still, this ROM is really fast, worth a try
- Don't report issues on LX bugtracker if you do so.
- Don't ask for ETA!
I don't know when (if) I'll release! I won't respond, even worse, I'll report you!
- I am not a developer. Everything I've done was only about searching and cherry-picking general improvements.

FAQ:

Will you build it for <device>?
I have slow pc, so I can't make it for too many devices. You are free to build by yourself.

Why is ROM/kernel so big?
Because -O3 flags are taking additional hunks of data. More info at Archi's thread. Don't worry, it will install fine.

Can I use your ROM as a base?
Yeah, you're clear. Just add me to credits.

Will you add <governor/io_sched>?
I personally don't like too many governors, but if you want any, post it here.

Why aren't all those tweaks already in LX CM11?
Because they are experimental and maybe unstable. Mike wants to make stable builds for all.

My wifi is not working!
Flash modules (in Drive folder)

How can I help you?
1. Every problem you face report with logs.
2. If you have enough knowledge, help with improving code on Github.
3. If you want to donate, donate to Mike instead. Without him, this kernel wouldn't exist.

- Initial release

HOW TO BUILD
1. follow this guide up to "repo sync" (don't execute it)

2. Open /.repo/local_manifests/semc.xml (hidden, press Ctrl+H)
Find this line

<project name="LegacyXperia/android_kernel_semc_msm7x30" path="kernel/semc/msm7x30"/>

and change it to this

<project name="Vynikal/android_kernel_semc_msm7x30" path="kernel/semc/msm7x30" revision="OptKernel-rebase"/>

3. Now sync repositories (depends on your internet connection)

repo sync

4. Run this

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/LegacyXperia/local_manifests/cm-11.0/updates.sh > ~/android/system/updates.sh
chmod a+x updates.sh
./updates.sh

And this

cd ~/android/system/vendor/cm
./get-prebuilts

5a. Download source.zip, unpack it to the root of your source and overwrite all.
5b. Run this, to give correct permissions to pngcrusher

chmod a+x build/tools/releasetools/pngcrusher

6a. Download SaberMod 4.8 toolchain and unpack them to /prebuilts/gcc/linux-x86/arm/
http://d-h.st/qsd
6b. For kernel toolchain, use a Linaro 4.7 toolchain (I use Christopher83's). Then put it to the folder above and rename to "arm-eabi-4.8"

7a. Build ROM (takes long time)

. build/envsetup.sh
breakfast <your_device>
brunch <your_device>

7b. To build only kernel (much shorter)

. build/envsetup.sh
breakfast <your_device>
make -j4 bootimage

8. Zip/kernel is in /out/target/product/<your_device> ready to install

If you found this guide wrong, got error or anything, write it down this thread.

For the glory of satan, of course

Before somebody else says this, let me have the honor

How about for other MDPI devices too?

[T3sla]

... If you want to build for your device by yourself, I can make a detailed guide. :good: ...

A detailed guide would be nice...

 

[cethine]

Thanks. I will try.

 

[djborek]

Screenshoot pls.

 

[evil.demon_s]

So atlast finally you have released it

Bt does it have everything which is present in 0703 build....????
Cz 0703 build itself is very smooth... and with this...it would just fly

[vj.xtha]

Awesome!!

431 MB RAM..impressivee..if there were something..like overclocking the RAM like overclocking CPU...these devs would possibly make 512 MB RAM incresint to 1 GB RAM haha... :silly:
Great rom by the way..blazing fast..but 1 problem,,,i always get bootloop whenever i try to switch to ART on clean install without any apps installed on internal...any possible solution for this?? just wanna try it with INT2EXT

1 problem with camera..whenever i take pic at night there is flash but..the final image is totally black with your rom..and whenever i stop recording the video camera force closes!
this bug wasn't on mikes 20140703 build!!..so fix this dude..

 

[SurajH]

Just want to know what other things change in Rom itself other than kernel and archis optimization..
Any new script or mod
Because want to try kernel but just confused with flashed whole Build OR just kernel with july 3 CM11 build

(*) except for /hardware/qcom/display-caf/libhwcomposer, because of compile errors.
u post this
But it is really matter?
any issue because of this miss?
Downloading Now give u report back.
Thanks for awesome share Dev.

---------- Post added at 11:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:49 AM ----------

One issue got after fresh install that
In Camera at the time video recording preview not shown its only stopped screen not showing anything but after recording complete the Output result gives nice video like CM11 only
What the wrong with preview Dev
I think its because of kernel

And also first boot RAM free is less than CM11
as i got 190MB in CM11 and here only 130MB

 

[SurajH]

Posted both screen for RAM

[SurajH]

After ROM stable RAM also stable screen attached
Good to see that..
No issue with RAM management.

Allow others to build and share them

@Vynikal you say you won't make builds for more devices. But will you allow to others to compile roms and kernels with your changes and share them here? So that if someone would compile for mango. Then he would upload it and PM the link to you. Then you'd add the link to the OP. If this could be done, many-many users would be happy:victory:

EDIT: I see that you are Czech, sme susedia

 

[dawid9706]

Can someone please compile Mini Pro (Mango) kernel?

 

[SurajH]

Mine only issue is new Theme manager not set the themes correctly basically the CM11 theme only
Need to restart device for correctly set BUT after second OR third reboot it again set to default:crying:
What the exact cause
Before that NO issues occurs with themes
Only working theme correctly till now is Atomic Green+ which is Basically CM10.2 theme with CM11 addons
HELP ME

 

[Vynikal]

As I said, all features are clearly performance stuff, small bugs are risk, but expected.
I don't know about themes, I only use Xperia Z2 theme, works fine for me.
About libhwcomposer - it is not important, just a note for devs that there is a bit, which needed old -Os flag.
About camcorder FC. I will look at it, but not much chance.
I have compiled for smultron, will upload today. Also for mango, but only kernel.

[Vynikal]

Smultron and mango added, have fun.
(mango only kernel)

 

[Grof87]

Tried to download smultron build 2 times and both times got an error after 40/50MB of download.

EDIT: Tried it for the 3rd time but still no luck. I was able to download the kernel.

Sorry, problem is on your side.
