[ tips / recommendations ]

before u report any battery drain issues please read this:
[GUIDE] HOW-TO Properly Evaluate Battery Life and Provide Useful Reports
faux123 has posted very nice info regarding most features

[ my kernel sources ]

Just a statement regarding kernel source: The Kernel Source is released for all at GITHUB repo given below. BUT Free software does NOT mean no work or time was spent working on it. A lot of my free time has gone into patching/testing this kernel/features integrated in this kernel. If you use my modified kernel source in parts or in its entirety, I kindly ask you mention its origins and to send me a github pull request or PM whenever you find bugs or think you can help improve my kernel hack further. This way the entire community will truly benefit from the spirit of open source.

Thank you !

Known issue with overclocking

It has been observed that the overclocking sometimes reverts back automatically to stock settings especially after heavy CPU load and if the device heats up.

I think have found why this happens:

Android OS level
- there is a binary called: /system/bin/thermald which writes lower CPU freq values to the CPU sysfs interface if the device starts heating
- there is also an app "Overheat Control" which i suspect is doing something similar
Kernel level
- there seems to be some sort of fail-safe in place "msm_dcvs" which resets the CPU to 918Mhz or 1026Mhz or 1512Mhz
- could also be some other things i am still searching

now there are ways to circumvent these issues but given the risk of the damage associated with overclock for long time i think its in our best interest to not screw with these fail-safes...

most of these will be will be taken care off in future kernel releases

How to use init.d scripts

these are small startup scripts which will get executed at bootup

these are supposed to be placed in the folder:
/system/etc/init.d/

IMPORTANT: make sure that the scripts have permissions to execute! else THEY WILL NOT RUN!

Code:

chmod 777 /system/etc/init.d/scriptname

example init.d script to reduce voltages by 75mV for ALL frequencies:

Code:

[B]#!/system/bin/sh
echo -75 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/vdd_levels[/B]

can be saved as /system/etc/init.d/99vdd

How to use Multi-Recoveries (CWM + TWRP + Philz):

Since many users have their own preference of recoveries, I have included CWM, TWRP & Philz recoveries into my kernel!!

The kernel has inbuilt triggers to enter any recovery. When the kernel is ready during bootup it will indicate by:

showing my bootlogo
pink/amber LED notification lighting up
there is a small vibration

Following are the triggers:

CWM recovery: Keep tapping VOLUME UP button
TWRP recovery: Keep tapping VOLUME DOWN button
Philz recovery: Keep tapping CAMERA button

Alternatively you can now also reboot into any of these selected recoveries using my Xperia Reboot app!

I have updated my Xperia Reboot app to supports multirecovery solution implemented in latest DooMKernel (Feb 1, 2014 onwards) on supported devices!

How to use CPU Voltage Control interface

All credits for this interface go to Faux123!

device will always bootup at stock voltage table...

WARNING!

DO NOT USE TOO HIGH OR TOO LOW VOLTAGES

SLOWLY increase the voltage one notch at a time for a particular frequency and do stability/testing for few hours

once you have verified that you CPU chip can handle that voltage ONLY then "Set at boot"/Use init.d script

if you dont follow above instruction your device might bootloop

You can either use an APP (like IncrediControl) [others mentioned in OP] or use an init.d script to do the work...

the interface to control voltages is at:

Code:

/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/vdd_table/vdd_levels

to see current voltage table use:

Code:

[B]cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/vdd_table/vdd_levels[/B]

to set voltage for a particular frequency:

Code:

[B]echo 1512000 1150000 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/vdd_table/vdd_levels[/B]

will set 1512Mhz freq voltage at 1150mV

to reduce voltages for ALL frequencies:

Code:

[B]echo -25000 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/vdd_table/vdd_levels[/B]

to increase voltages for ALL frequencies:

Code:

[B]echo +25000 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/vdd_table/vdd_levels[/B]

example init.d script to reduce voltages by 75mV for ALL frequencies:

Code:

[B]#!/system/bin/sh
echo -75000 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/vdd_table/vdd_levels[/B]

can be saved as /system/etc/init.d/99vdd

next release will have 2.5GHz overclock!!!

thanks to @yeeson for testing!

Yeahhhhhhhhh Ha! Glad to see my favorite Kernel already available : gonna flash as soon as I get my device!

EDIT : Argh, did not read all this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2440597
I will have to wait a bit... I don't wanna miss the Camera! Hope there will be fix/workaround soon...

More impressed by DooMLoRD's clock frequency

Even with crappy weather around, the times ahead looks bright indeed :victory:

Kernel level Sound Control

This feature has been added by faux123 himself!

The sources for this feature are covered under GPL and are released along with my kernel sources at my GITHUB repo.

[ WARNING ]

high volume can damage hearing!

DooMLoRD or faux123 are not to be held responsible if this damages ur headphones/speakers/etc

USE THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK!

There are two ways to use this interface.

manual control through sysfs interface
paid app (FauxSound Audio/Sound Control)

How to use the app FauxSound Audio/Sound Control is pretty self explanatory so I will write on how to control using the sysfs interface...

BEFORE DOING ANY ADJUSTMENTS EXIT THE APPS LIKE MUSIC PLAYER/etc!!

The interface to control the sound output is located at:

Code:

[B]/sys/kernel/sound_control_3[/B]

it has 4 control interfaces:

Camera MIC

Code:

/sys/kernel/sound_control_3/gpl_cam_mic_gain

Headphone

Code:

/sys/kernel/sound_control_3/gpl_headphone_gain

MIC

Code:

/sys/kernel/sound_control_3/gpl_mic_gain

Internal Speaker

Code:

/sys/kernel/sound_control_3/gpl_speaker_gain

each supports gain levels from 20 (-20) to 50 (+10), base is 40 (0)
(the number in the brackets correspond to the numbers displayed in the app)

say if u want to boost headphone output (both left and right channels) then use the following command:

Code:

echo "44 44" > /sys/kernel/sound_control_3/gpl_headphone_gain

u can also individually increase/decrease the gain for each right and left channel

similarly other interfaces can be controlled

TIP:

do not jump to maximum values as sometimes the headphones/speakers might start distorting the audio... slowly increase and do testing for the levels which suit you!

not all accessories will work well with boosted audio output

e.g.: on my Sony MDR-XB300 headphones i start getting distorted audio beyond 46 (+6)

regards,

DooMLoRD

good!

i have updated OP with BIG warning

thanks @Benzii for your very generous donation! i am waiting for the device to hit retail stores in India.. i should be getting it in the next 2-3 days!

LOTS more features to come! will be porting most of the features from my Xperia Z kernel!

hopefully this should be fixed soon

Hope to solve as soon as possible！

Dude ! So cool that you're working on this. Makes me want to buy this phone even more

raimondomartire · Sep 19, 2013

Great work on this kernel and this is only first ver. Please when you have time can you read my PM

plakers · Sep 19, 2013

@DooMLoRD you're the man! I'll buy you a great beer as soon as I get my device! Guys, please keep praying for the camera/bootloader fix to come, that way we'll be in the best world : Z1's class with DooMLoRD's touch! héhé
