It's cause merruk pre v.2.0 still not overclock so still show 832mhz and 312mhz. But see merruk add governor like conservatif, ondemand, poweruser. I dont use that cz as long as i know some gov can work in 2freq (312-812) so i combine with kernel mdule frm irfanbagus to add interactive gov.

[FONT="]28/10/11 Time:19:25 > TO > 14/4/12 Time:13:30[/FONT][FONT="]
[/FONT]Kernel 1.7 -> 6.5D ULTIMATE
All very important change log!
*Added code fixes from 3.0.12 kernel.
*Updated lots of code from 3.0.28 kernel
*Fixed code for usb tether (for cm7)
*Fixed data stats for ICS ROMS.
*Switched to SLUB with fixed code
*Added new SIO scheduler and switched to it by default.
*Added XZ kernel compression! we lost 100kb and more faster decompression for kernel.
*Fixed the stuck on net apps, found the bug and removed it.
*Fixed charger and usb tether code.

*I have added new WIFI driver from CM7 kernel, now CH13/14 works!
Tuned the wifi driver, added new code for ROAMING and for wake locks add/remove in need.
Also reduced the voltage that wifi use from 2750mv to 2250mv!
lots of power will be saved!
*Added new ADB driver from 2.3.37 kernel. all cool and one less warning in kernel build.
*I have found out that if i use 3 zram drives each 100MB then system is more stable that way and working better, the work together!
and the process working faster with less ram drive!
So now it's load balanced! this give us 150 more ram!
*Added to install menu some good stuff!
1)you can now install the non CM7 ZRAM from menu.
2)you can now activated the keys light on/off by light, mod!
3)you can choose languages and theme!
4)you can install most advanced busybox 1.19.4 FULL! all included!
Updated and Compiled by me
5)you can safely reboot after all installed.
*Added new boost code to HYPER and to ONDEMAND govs
*Added new USB tether driver
*Fixed the WIFI driver, now channels 13 /14 work
*Added new lowmemorykiller module to help with ram management.
I will contact some active people to test the BETA kernel that i will upload to secret folder. When stability will be OK i will upload for public.
Stable kernels are 4.7, 3.8, 3.2, 5.7
*Added new install menu! AROMA INSTALLER! by great Developer Amarullz from HERE
HUGE Thanks to TYTUNG for his hard work on ICS parts!

*Added frame buffer fix for camera (credits to fhasovic )
*Added lots of new code for PowerManager! now phone sleep as a baby
*Fixed the file transfer over dual mount apps, i get stable 1.5~2MB write over usb with no lag or delay in phone.
If mounted as normal via usb mount, then close to 5MB write. but no access to sdcard.
*Updated to busybox 1.19.4!
*Tuned the cpu freq to be stable on 1.574, so the danger freq is only 1.62
Many CPU will stuck!(some will work) and lots of apps will crash on 1.62, this is must know info!
*Added Hyper as default governor + fixed it's deep sleep function!
*Added deep sleep function to ondeman governor
*Fixed MMC sdcard, now kernel will not remove it in any condition!

But this time it's can control the dynamic voltage settings!
example:
echo "499200 1000 1075" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/vdd_levels_havs
echo "537600 1000 1100" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/vdd_levels_havs
echo "576000 1000 1100" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/vdd_levels_havs
frequency min voltage max voltage > sent to sysfs interface.
new 15voltage will check if your kernel support vdd_levels_havs if yes activate dynamic settings if no activate static!
Fix was been made by Marc the great kernel DEV from .35 kernel.
*Added fix for auto button on in dark and off in light, now we can switch to old ways, 10 sec on then off till touched, or screen off/on this is the default in ROM if you need to have auto light on /off depend on light, edit the 13_modules script in init.d and look for #KEYBOARDAUTOLIGHTON
Remove the # save (remove the .bkp) and reboot or run this for imitate effect.
echo 1 > /sys/devices/platform/btn_backlight_manager/button_auto
but it will be cleared on next boot, so 13_modules script change is needed.
Fix was been made by Great Kernel Dev Munjeni by my request for you all
*Added new Governor ondemanx it's more battery friendly but not super fast as original tweaked ondemand, best to use it on screen off!
*Added Vdd AVS ( Adaptive Voltage Scaling ) code files! (by Marc1706)
*Tweaked AVS code for HTC Leo (by Marc1706)
*Raise VOLTAGE_MIN_START of AVS to 950 (by Marc1706)
*Use a realtime priority thread for AVS. (by Marc1706)
*Tweaked the AVS to support 1.61Ghz and tweaked Voltage ranges to prevent SOD and over drain. (By dorimanx)
*Tweak camera (better picks in dark, less greeny) (by Marc1706)
*Added Light Sensos Fix (By Munjeni)
*Added Keyboard backligh !ON! in DARK, and !OFF! in LIGHT
(can be tweaked in ROM) (By Munjeni)
*Tweaked Settings and removed all king of stuff that not needed for normal operations. (By dorimanx)
*Added the Colored ADB in initrd.gz, but it's working only in LINUX or in SSH session! not via windows ADB!
Just type logcat -C
And see nice colurs!
*Tweaked kernel to reduce battery drain (removed not needed stuff that sit and eat battery
)
*Added updated interactiveX governor (by Marc1706)
*Added new Governors to play with: Lagfree, SavagedZen, scary, superbad, virtuous. (by Marc1706)
*Changed zram manual activation script to 375MB to reduce the cpu load.
*Reduced zram also in auto script to max of 375MB
*Tweaked the Deadline Scheduler to boost read/write i/o speed.
By request from NuttShell I have added to kernel Step that will allow installing custom mic gain file for MIUI ROM and initd.
Change log only for MIUI:
***Added miui inird.gz
***Added changed mic gain script
***Added custom miui rom default.acdb and htcleo.acdc to reduce calls problems.
***Added my tweaked modules script.
All thanks to NuttShell for supplying files for MIUI rom.
*I have added new NAND driver, + Network, CPU, and system patch by Munjeni Thanks allot for your hard work, and for looking for a way to mount EXT4 on NAND!
*I have patched from 2.6.32.39 to 2.6.32.50 main line!
*Added 6 disk schedulers deadline as default (AS,CFQ,SIO,DEADLINE,VR)
*Tweaked max cpu voltage from 1350 to 1375
*Added max CPU freq to 1.6 with 1375 voltage
*Fixed the CPU settings, so 998000 is really 1Ghz and 1.61 is MAX overclock! It’s slightly faster than Tytung 1.19Ghz because of more voltage!
So to get non overclocked device use 998000 this is also the default!
*Added minor stable tweaks for best kernel support and faster ROM!
see /system/etc/init.d/13_modules (my ROM users have them all in 2.9.9 ROM)
Patch to .50 was from HERE
And patch from .15 to .49 from HERE
*Patched Kernel from 2.6.32.15 to 2.6.32.39!
*Added new SQLB allocator, Thanks 3DAK!
ALSA drivers Disabled! they make Buzz sound, and not really needed for CM7!
only for LINUX ROMS (Ubuntu and others)
*Added new kernel modules:
Enable cleancache pseudo-RAM driver to cache clean pages
Run-time PM core functionality
ZRAM XVMALLOCATOR
Compressed in-memory swap device (zram) + activation scripts for CM7
Page cache compression support
All Run auto! Except the ZRAM swap!
All you need to know is HERE
To activate the ZRAM in CM7
At Kernel Install, choose from menu to install ZRAM SWAP
Go to settings > CyanogenMod > Performance > Compcache RAM usage
Use 26% for 110MB virtual ram swap (best choose)
Or lower, or you can disable it any time.
Reboot needed to apply the change.
After reboot!
You can check the swap load / stats
Here is how to:
Open terminal or connect by ADB SHELL
Code:
su -
free
#This will show you that you have swap! and 0 used!
zram_stats
#this will show you the usage + statistics in KB
Also the compression rate
Short info:
Compression is with LZO algorithm. already in kernel
ZRAM is RAM based SWAP, so it's take 357MB RAM and make them 700! or close to 720MB by compressing the data pages!
CPU will work slightly more, when compressing RAM, but when done, it's will be free as was.
This mod was lost for too long! time to activate it again!
Also the old mod was called ramzswap! This project is closed, now it's new 2011 project in mainline! Now it's ZRAM!
Thanks for all the donations! [IMG]file:///C:/Users/lastman/AppData/Local/Temp/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image001.gif[/IMG]this is really help [IMG]file:///C:/Users/lastman/AppData/Local/Temp/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image002.gif[/IMG]09/11/11 Time:00:05
*Added menu to kernel! now there is only one kernel for all!
Navigate in menu with volume down.
Menu goes only forward. No back choose. (Just start over)
You can choose:
No-2way-REC / 2way-REC ability.
CM7 + others OR sense ROM or MIUI
MAG / CLK
With new busybox 1.19.4 STABLE! / Or without! (Stay with yours form ROM)
*Compressed kernel with LZMA compression! very small image.
*I have added the smartass V2 it's working ok most of the time!
*I have added and fixed the smartass governor!
*Added kernel optimization with new tool-chain 2010 for best compatibility.
*Added RiserFS partition support.
*Added all commits from TYTUNG R13! (new audio driver as module, loaded with script that i have included.)
The END :)

This has apparently already been fixed in a refresh of the 1.6 Kernel, Soon as i test, I will edit post just a big 1ST BUG FIXED! (again )
Thank you very much i am downloading. A few questions i wanna ask.
Is this kernel have , fix for low mic issue
Fix for much background noise
And all cm 7 roms are working with that kernel without any buggy ?
Again thank you very much all devs are working very hard and did brilliant.job continue

YES working with H264 + M4V (3gp + mp4)
All cool!
have fun.
Nice Work
Will try it on my SD Build
But scene Your kernel is base on Tytung kernel may i ask how is the Battery Drain when the BT is on ?
And is it paring to BT is more easier to compare with Tytung kernel ?
Thanks

I have no idea if it will work on SD build.
but the BT is the same as TY kernel.
But i have added more support for more devices. so it's may fix something that not working with TY kernel.
It's not a copy, it's progressive update
Thank you very much!!! This looks really very well...
Can you add on the first post your fix in config for tethering in order to use in other roms?
I install your new rom 2.9.3 mag
and then flash your new kernel 1.6 with 2 way rec mag
but then i have no wifi
can you tell me why
thx

How to build Semaphore kernel
Prerequisites
Basic knowledge of Linux is required to be able to build the kernel. We will also need a modern Linux box (preferably).
Basic Setup
First, we need to setup a directory in which we will clone the kernel and initramfs repositories. In this guide, we will setup them in /tmp but you can do it in any directory you want.
In a terminal we run:
Code:
mkdir /tmp/semaphore
cd /tmp/semaphore
Then we clone the basic kernel repository:
Code:
git clone https://github.com/stratosk/samsung-kernel-aries
Finally we clone the initramfs repository:
Code:
git clone https://github.com/stratosk/ics-ramdisk
OK, first step done. We got the code. Now we have to do some preparation and compile it.
Configuration
I prefer to use a mini ugly script to compile the kernel and pack it. It's located in the root of the kernel tree (/tmp/semaphore/samsung-kernel-aries/sbuild.sh)
We open this file with an editor of our choice (I prefer vi) and edit:
1) The two lines with the 'make' command, changing the CROSS_COMPILE= option. We need to set the path from the cross compiler toolchain. I use the one that it's included in CM9 repository.
2) The line starting with the 'find' command, changing the kernel source directory and destination directory of the modules location. This is into the initramfs directory. In our example it's /tmp/semaphore/ics-ramdisk/ics_combo/files/modules
The Semaphore's kernel configuration is located in the file config_sema in the root kernel directory. So, we need to copy this file as .config:
Code:
cp config_sema .config
Then we run this command to start the Linux kernel configuration utility (again change the CROSS_COMPILE according to your toolchain directory):
Code:
make CROSS_COMPILE=/kernels/semaphore_cap/android/android/system/prebuilt/linux-x86/toolchain/arm-eabi-4.4.3/bin/arm-eabi- ARCH=arm menuconfig
We go to 'General Setup' section and we change the 'Initramfs source files' option to /tmp/semaphore/ics-ramdisk/ics_combo/
We also need to change the next 2 options User ID and Group ID to whatever uid and gid we are logged in in the Linux box. In my case is 500,500. We exit and save the configuration.
Compiling
Now we are ready to build the kernel!
We just run:
Code:
./sbuild.sh
We wait few minutes (time depends on the machine) and hopefully the compilation will end.
The script will produce 2 files.
1) /tmp/semaphore/samsung-kernel-aries/arch/arm/boot/zImage
2) /tmp/semaphore/ics-ramdisk/cwm/Semaphore_ICS_1.2.0s.zip
These are the 2 known files that we can flash via Heimdal or CWM respectively.
just flasshing
Nice.Finally.
Downloading.
w00t, nice job Semaphore
Now on ICS ^^
thanks for the hard work!
Simply flashtastic!!! I was missing you on ics...
Enviado de mi puño y letra
i get bootloop grgrgr someelse? or maybe some restart by script manager? idk testing..
Works ok.
Gps,wifi,compass,scripts.
Good job.Finally ics from stratosk.
Nice work
Will you be implementing Voodoo Colour as well?

Semaphore Script Manager application is not bundled in the kernel (not yet).
I'm on teamhacksung's CM9. I didn't test it on Onecosmic's ICS.

I really don't know. I think that the pawitp's color hacks is fine.
I just want to stabilize this first. Features from Semaphore GB version will be added one by one and if there is a need for this. Lot's of features are already included by pawitp's kernel.
Re
This is just what i was waiting for... downloading now i feel like trolling everywhere out of happiness
No prob. mate! Take your time. We all love your work & Kernel!!
I also think that it's no need for voodoo colour.
This colours looks very good.
You're the man... dude

Awesome, will try on build 15 right away - loaded and everything seems ok.
first impression is: great color and contrast! it's like I have 3d on my sgs now!
wifi ok, 3g ok (switches really fast, great), calling ok, sensors ok (for dialer), gps ok, whatsapp, gmail.
thank you very much!
I just flashed EliteMod & Kernel ICS (HTC DESIRE Z) and want to know something about additionals modules that are avaiable for this rom. Can somebody explain what those modules do because I haven't been able to find any longer descripton for them.
Currently available modules:
cachefiles.ko - Filesystem caching on files
cifs.ko - CIFS support (advanced network filesystem)
fscache.ko - General filesystem local caching manager
fuse.ko - FUSE (Filesystem in Userspace) support
ntfs.ko - NTFS file system support (RW enabled)
usbcore.ko - Support for Host-side USB
usbhid.ko - USB Human Interface Device (full HID) support
usbkbd.ko - USB HIDBP Keyboard (simple Boot) support
usbmon.ko - USB Monitor
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
cachefiles.ko - ??
cifs.ko - something to do with samba and accessing files in network??
fscache.ko - ??
fuse.ko - something to do with linux ??
ntfs.ko - NTFS file system support (RW enabled) (access to ntfs file system)
usbcore.ko - with this you can connect eg. external usb disk
usbhid.ko - with this you can use your phone as a mouse??
usbkbd.ko - with this you can connect usb keyboard to your phone
usbmon.ko - ??
*BUMP*
^For I would like to know too?!!!
Always used this rom and I have noticed since new update, my data turns on even when off and Gmail loads randomly!??
I can't really comment on the rest but FUSE is FileSystem in User Space. It's a module that allows mounting a filesystem from a file or other partition in userspace typically associated with encrypted volumes like TrueCrypt etc.
(ie: on OSX MacFuse is needed for TrueCrypt or for mounting a number of filesystem images such as ext4, or rewritable NTFS etc).
Most of those modules are not loaded by default, so they usually have to be turned on in the userinit.
Google the module description, I get hits with more info every time. Not the filename. These are official names.

In plain language
DO NOT STEAL MY SH*T !!
UpInTheAir is NOT responsible, the person you see in the mirror is !!
REQUIREMENTS:
Supported variant only !!
Touch Wiz Android M 6.0.1 ROM or UX leaked firmware (beta support)
Appropriate custom recovery (i.e..TWRP for your variant)
INSTALLATION & UPDATE:
If you have Synapse installed = = you must clear Synapse app data before flash !!
Device Settings: Enable Developer Options > OEM UNLOCK is ENABLED
Boot into custom recovery (volume UP + home + power)
DO NOTHING but flash SkyHigh kernel.zip (ALWAYS flash again AFTER any custom ROM installation, system or data wipe)
After flash == DO NOTHING but REBOOT IMMEDIATELY from TWRP or you will have to re-flash !!
CONVERT EXT4 TO F2FS FS:
If not already, install the latest TWRP for your device variant (ie. 3.0.2-2). This must support F2FS.
Boot into TWRP.
Insert USB-OTG
** ALL DATA WILL BE WIPED FROM INTERNAL STORAGE (restored later)
Backup (copy) all important files (incl. your NANDROID) off device (ie. from internal storage > USB STORAGE). This can take a while. Advanced > File Manager > .....
Home > Backup > Select Storage > USB Storage > OK > "Swipe to Backup" (Only need DATA, but recommend to backup all partitions).
Install > Select Storage > USB Storage > OK.
Select f2fs.zip > "Swipe to confirm flash" (This will WIPE ALL DATA !! & convert DATA & CACHE to F2FS. System is not supported by kernel).
Check the box to remember setting and “Swipe to allow Modifications”.
If you do not have Step #8, then Data was not converted to F2FS.
Mounts > unchecked both Cache & Data. Repeat Step #7 & 8.
Restore > Select Storage > USB Storage > OK > Select TWRP Backup folder > DATA ONLY !! > "Swipe to Restore" (ignore warning about EXT4).
Home > Install > Select Skyhigh_kernel.zip > "Swipe to confirm Flash".
Home > Mount > USB STORAGE > uncheck/unmount (then remove USB-OTG).
Home > Reboot > SYSTEM.
Wait ~2-5 mins for boot.
Once booted, let stabilize for ~5 mins.
You can check Data & Cache F2FS FS status in either /proc/mounts or Synapse app (FS section).
Use a root type explorer (su permission) & navigate to /sdcard, and delete the "0" folder.
Move (copy) your backed up files from Step #4 to internal storage (/sdcard). This can take a while. Maybe one folder at a time is better?
ISSUES ?
If using TWRP MTP mode, deleting some folders/files may crash TWRP and cause corruption. Instead, use a root type file explorer to delete from device.
If you need to wipe data, then use the ext4 or f2fs.zip, otherwise this is not possible with this TWRP !!
Not tested any method with customized ROMs. The ROM installer script may re-format partitions back to EXT4 or not mount correctly causing TWRP crash or corruption. I can only suggest to Flash ROM with EXT4 FS > make a NANDROID on USB-OTG and then follow the F2FS steps above.
CONVERT F2FS TO EXT4 FS:
The Same steps as above, but use the ext4.zip !!
OPTIONAL SYNAPSE INSTALLATION:
After boot:
Wait at least 120 secs to stabilize
Install Synapse app from Google Play and rate it ☆☆☆☆☆ !!
Open Synapse
Tap "Understood"
So changes stick every time you start Synapse == Make any change & 'apply'.
Recommend: Disable KNOX with Synapse
DOWNLOADS:
Mod Edit: Link removed.
BUGS:
Aroma Installer: 10% of installation will encounter Aroma installer "freeze". It's only the display that freeze, the script still execute in the background. Just wait a minute, then press slightly to the top right 'home' key / top left of the 'back' key . . .

FAQ & HELP
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE:
I might not have your device variant and or able to reproduce your "issue".
Please provide as much information as possible.
Without resetting your device to a stable unmodified baseline, any potential troubleshooting or logs could be meaningless.
So please follow the guidelines set out below. Users can't "read minds".
Without providing important information, we are unable to help YOU.
Search thread, XDA and Google before posting
Provide as much information as possible.
- Device model
- Firmware version
- ROM name / version
- Kernel version
- Modem version
- Bootloader version
- Synapse settings (try default)
- Installed tweaks and apps etc (Xposed ?)
- The exact steps you've taken to try resolve the issue yourself.
Exact steps to reproduce the issue. Provide screenshots if able.
Does it work with older / other versions etc
Reset your device to a stable baseline (ie. stock) with only custom TWRP recovery and kernel (FULL WIPE: system, cache, dalvik-ART)
Possible logs
FAQ & HELP:
CAN I BUILD A KERNEL FOR YOUR __XX DEVICE ?
Sorry. I don't have the spare time for any more variant support.
Additionally, I do not build for any device that I can not compile using SAME source, personally test method or debug. Some device variants can compile with same source.
CAN I INCLUDE SkyHigh KERNEL IN MY ROM
NO == My ramdisk modifications are COPYRIGHT (refer LICENSE in Post #2), and distribution without MY (UpInTheAir) prior written consent is not only in a breach of that license, but also XDA Rule #12)
Although I do appreciate your contribution, if you could please do not include my kernel in any ROM package etc. This policy goes for anyone.
Having my kernel distributed outside my development thread just removes a lot of credit and more importantly, constructive user feedback that could be helpful to my development or user issue.
ALWAYS on DISPLAY (AoD)
I have spent some time to attempt port S7 display drivers to our kernel, but haven't had success as yet with too many errors.
TBH, it's a lot of work for something I'm not really interested in or would use. . . so I don't wish to spend any more of my own time on it, sorry. If someone else does it, GREAT
DO I "NEED" SYNAPSE
THERE IS NO "NEED" !!
It is "recommended", which is OPTIONAL, and not "needed".
It is for ADVANCED or adventurous users who wish more control of their device or use various features I've added.
Using any other optional tweaking or control app may conflict & many features and options won't be available.
WHY WAIT 120 SECS
The kernel and Synapse scripts need time to boot up properly and allow SU permission.
There are scripts / code that have a deliberate delay and must run after Synapse. These are not user optional.
Synapse has a stability check on boot. You may get "synapse boot cancelled".
Thermal throttling will be trying to limit many things, let the device settle
OTHER PARTY CAN NOT HEAR VOICE ON SPEAKER PHONE
It could be a conflict in the system/etc/mixer_*.xml. I don't know for sure, but if I exclude the sound mod, then this "fixes" the problem.
As I cannot reproduce the issue (and the majority), then the audio mod stays.
Unfortunately, making it optional would require to build kernels without and create much more work for many device I don't actually use.
Either live with it, or use another kernel. Sorry.
"NO UCI SUPPORT"
It's a ROM busybox compatibility issue !!
Re-flash kernel as per Installation Instructions. (kernel install zip flashes proven busybox binary to /system/xbin)
BACKUP / RESTORE ISSUES
It's a ROM busybox or sqlite3 compatibility issue !!
Re-flash kernel as per Installation Instructions. (kernel install zip flashes proven busybox binary to /system/xbin)
BACKUP & RESTORE
DO NOT restore profiles from different kernel version
Refer to THIS post for "how-to" screen-shots
Refer to THIS post for a "how-to" video
LOADABLE MODULES AREN'T WORKING
Check your /system/lib/modules directory. Are any ____.ko present?
Did you flash a ROM or wipe the system partition at any point? Doing this will remove them !
Re-flash the kernel will install the modules.
If modules aren't installed after flash, then re-flash and manually mount system in recovery first.
You can check running modules in terminal with:
lsmod

BATTERY TIPS (require updating !! )
Try some (or combination) of the CPU MULTICORE features in Synapse:
HMP profile = Default (values are battery orientated)
Power Aware Scheduling (slight performance cost) = Enabled
HMP LITTLE Packing (slight performance cost) = Enabled
PEWQ (power-efficient workqueue) (slight performance cost) = Enabled
Set A57 & A53 Interactive governor profile = Battery
Set Input-Booster for key/touchkey profile = Battery
Multi-tasking: enable UKSM & "low" or "quiet" profile (slight performance/battery cost)
PERFORMANCE TIPS (requires updating !! )
Set A57 & A53 Interactive governor profile = Performance
Set A57 & A53 Interactive governor = Turbo Mode (battery cost)
Set HMP threshold profiles = Stock or Performance
Once in a while:
Optimize Databases
FSTrim
RANDOM REBOOT
Don't UV or UC CPU or GPU
Use SkyHigh defaults
Use a stock UNMODIFIED ROM for your device variant
No tweaks, Xposed or other CPU control apps installed
Follow the TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
ASV_GROUP (ALL DEVICES ARE NOT CREATED EQUAL)
THIS is an example from my Exynos5420 source. Similar idea for Exynos4
DOWNLOAD LINK NOT WORKING
I want to keep this project all in one place - ☆☆ NO MIRRORS ☆☆
Please try again in a few minutes
POOR CPU/GPU BENCHMARK or GRAPHICS PERFORMANCE
Disable any CPU MULTICORE options in Synapse
Disable any Battery profiles in Synapse. Set to default or Performance.
Allow the device to cool. Repetitive testing will heat the device hardware and invoke thermal throttling and lead to decreased benchmark.
HIGH CPU/GPU OC == excessive heat == thermal throttling == reduced clock frequency == DECREASE PERFORMANCE
DYNAMIC MANAGEMENT OF DIRTY PAGE WRITEBACKS
by Christopher83
This feature allows to have two different intervals for dirty page writebacks and to dynamically manage them when the system has been resumed (it's active) or when has been suspended.
Three new procfs parameters are exposed inside /proc/sys/vm path:
dynamic_dirty_writeback is the activation status of this feature, set 1 to enable it, set 0 to disable it and use the standard behaviour
dirty_writeback_active_centisecs is the interval for the dirty page writebacks when the system is active (screen on)
dirty_writeback_suspend_centisecs is the interval for the dirty page writebacks when the system is suspended (screen off)
This feature is in part inspired on Francisco Franco's PATCH

@UpInTheAir needed to create these threads to compile them for Synapse. He contacted me to close these as soon as he made them until he is ready with the finished product. Have patience.
Also I would like to apologize to UITA as the last ban may have been due to a system glitch where the signature was restored upon return, so was unjust. I have seen these glitches before and better communication might have prevented the error. We will do better going forward!
SkyHigh KERNEL REBORN - v5.6 released !!
SkyHigh KERNEL REBORN - v5.6 released !!
Hi fellow members.
Please find my latest release for SkyHigh kernel. There are many many changes, both visually (more / improved features) and a upgraded engine (better performance & efficiency) since I last publicly released. Far too many to talk about. . . .
Please note that although I have taken as much care in building and testing by my friends and I, the kernel may still not perform as hoped for you. Could be due to various factors including (but limited to):
hardware quality
firmware installed (incompatibility)
user habit (how you use the device)
apps & mods installed, customization's (conflicts)
user kernel settings (read them carefully - if in doubt == defaults)
As noted in Post #3, I may not have your device variant and not be always able to help either. In the end, sometimes SkyHigh is just not meant for you . . . .
If you have issues = = READ & FOLLOW ALL Posts #1-3
READ & FOLLOW THE INSTALLATION INSTALLATIONS EXACTLY (or else device will not boot)
Also please note (as per OP) the support for UX based ROMS is still in beta. I have personally tested very briefly, and also some of my friends (not all variant). I don't believe this kernel will fix the no call audio issue for those UX ROMs. It is ROM related !!
Enjoy
UITA

1. Flash what through recovery ?
2. What "did not work" ?
I suppose you:
1. Flashed the actual kernel zip !!
2. Followed the install instructions EXACTLY
There are recovery logs, but I'm quite sure you haven't actually read and or followed the above anyway........

In plain language
DO NOT STEAL MY SH*T !!
UpInTheAir is NOT responsible, the person you see in the mirror is !!
REQUIREMENTS:
Supported variant only !!
Touch Wiz Android M 6.0.1 ROM or UX leaked firmware (beta support)
Appropriate custom recovery (i.e..TWRP for your variant)
INSTALLATION & UPDATE:
If you have Synapse installed = = you must clear Synapse app data before flash !!
Device Settings: Enable Developer Options > OEM UNLOCK is ENABLED
Boot into custom recovery (volume UP + home + power)
DO NOTHING but flash SkyHigh kernel.zip (ALWAYS flash again AFTER any custom ROM installation, system or data wipe)
After flash == DO NOTHING but REBOOT IMMEDIATELY from TWRP or you will have to re-flash !!
CONVERT EXT4 TO F2FS FS:
If not already, install the latest TWRP for your device variant (ie. 3.0.2-2). This must support F2FS.
Boot into TWRP.
Insert USB-OTG
** ALL DATA WILL BE WIPED FROM INTERNAL STORAGE (restored later)
Backup (copy) all important files (incl. your NANDROID) off device (ie. from internal storage > USB STORAGE). This can take a while. Advanced > File Manager > .....
Home > Backup > Select Storage > USB Storage > OK > "Swipe to Backup" (Only need DATA, but recommend to backup all partitions).
Install > Select Storage > USB Storage > OK.
Select f2fs.zip > "Swipe to confirm flash" (This will WIPE ALL DATA !! & convert DATA & CACHE to F2FS. System is not supported by kernel).
Check the box to remember setting and “Swipe to allow Modifications”.
If you do not have Step #8, then Data was not converted to F2FS.
Mounts > unchecked both Cache & Data. Repeat Step #7 & 8.
Restore > Select Storage > USB Storage > OK > Select TWRP Backup folder > DATA ONLY !! > "Swipe to Restore" (ignore warning about EXT4).
Home > Install > Select Skyhigh_kernel.zip > "Swipe to confirm Flash".
Home > Mount > USB STORAGE > uncheck/unmount (then remove USB-OTG).
Home > Reboot > SYSTEM.
Wait ~2-5 mins for boot.
Once booted, let stabilize for ~5 mins.
You can check Data & Cache F2FS FS status in either /proc/mounts or Synapse app (FS section).
Use a root type explorer (su permission) & navigate to /sdcard, and delete the "0" folder.
Move (copy) your backed up files from Step #4 to internal storage (/sdcard). This can take a while. Maybe one folder at a time is better?
ISSUES ?
If using TWRP MTP mode, deleting some folders/files may crash TWRP and cause corruption. Instead, use a root type file explorer to delete from device.
If you need to wipe data, then use the ext4 or f2fs.zip, otherwise this is not possible with this TWRP !!
Not tested any method with customized ROMs. The ROM installer script may re-format partitions back to EXT4 or not mount correctly causing TWRP crash or corruption. I can only suggest to Flash ROM with EXT4 FS > make a NANDROID on USB-OTG and then follow the F2FS steps above.
CONVERT F2FS TO EXT4 FS:
The Same steps as above, but use the ext4.zip !!
OPTIONAL SYNAPSE INSTALLATION:
After boot:
Wait at least 120 secs to stabilize
Install Synapse app from Google Play and rate it ☆☆☆☆☆ !!
Open Synapse
Tap "Understood"
So changes stick every time you start Synapse == Make any change & 'apply'.
Recommend: Disable KNOX with Synapse
DOWNLOADS:
Mod Edit: Link removed.
BUGS:
Aroma Installer: 10% of installation will encounter Aroma installer "freeze". It's only the display that freeze, the script still execute in the background. Just wait a minute, then press slightly to the top right 'home' key / top left of the 'back' key . . .

FAQ & HELP
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE:
I might not have your device variant and or able to reproduce your "issue".
Please provide as much information as possible.
Without resetting your device to a stable unmodified baseline, any potential troubleshooting or logs could be meaningless.
So please follow the guidelines set out below. Users can't "read minds".
Without providing important information, we are unable to help YOU.
Search thread, XDA and Google before posting
Provide as much information as possible.
- Device model
- Firmware version
- ROM name / version
- Kernel version
- Modem version
- Bootloader version
- Synapse settings (try default)
- Installed tweaks and apps etc (Xposed ?)
- The exact steps you've taken to try resolve the issue yourself.
Exact steps to reproduce the issue. Provide screenshots if able.
Does it work with older / other versions etc
Reset your device to a stable baseline (ie. stock) with only custom TWRP recovery and kernel (FULL WIPE: system, cache, dalvik-ART)
Possible logs
FAQ & HELP:
CAN I BUILD A KERNEL FOR YOUR __XX DEVICE ?
Sorry. I don't have the spare time for any more variant support.
Additionally, I do not build for any device that I can not compile using SAME source, personally test method or debug. Some device variants can compile with same source.
CAN I INCLUDE SkyHigh KERNEL IN MY ROM
NO == My ramdisk modifications are COPYRIGHT (refer LICENSE in Post #2), and distribution without MY (UpInTheAir) prior written consent is not only in a breach of that license, but also XDA Rule #12)
Although I do appreciate your contribution, if you could please do not include my kernel in any ROM package etc. This policy goes for anyone.
Having my kernel distributed outside my development thread just removes a lot of credit and more importantly, constructive user feedback that could be helpful to my development or user issue.
ALWAYS on DISPLAY (AoD)
I have spent some time to attempt port S7 display drivers to our kernel, but haven't had success as yet with too many errors.
TBH, it's a lot of work for something I'm not really interested in or would use. . . so I don't wish to spend any more of my own time on it, sorry. If someone else does it, GREAT
DO I "NEED" SYNAPSE
THERE IS NO "NEED" !!
It is "recommended", which is OPTIONAL, and not "needed".
It is for ADVANCED or adventurous users who wish more control of their device or use various features I've added.
Using any other optional tweaking or control app may conflict & many features and options won't be available.
WHY WAIT 120 SECS
The kernel and Synapse scripts need time to boot up properly and allow SU permission.
There are scripts / code that have a deliberate delay and must run after Synapse. These are not user optional.
Synapse has a stability check on boot. You may get "synapse boot cancelled".
Thermal throttling will be trying to limit many things, let the device settle
OTHER PARTY CAN NOT HEAR VOICE ON SPEAKER PHONE
It could be a conflict in the system/etc/mixer_*.xml. I don't know for sure, but if I exclude the sound mod, then this "fixes" the problem.
As I cannot reproduce the issue (and the majority), then the audio mod stays.
Unfortunately, making it optional would require to build kernels without and create much more work for many device I don't actually use.
Either live with it, or use another kernel. Sorry.
"NO UCI SUPPORT"
It's a ROM busybox compatibility issue !!
Re-flash kernel as per Installation Instructions. (kernel install zip flashes proven busybox binary to /system/xbin)
BACKUP / RESTORE ISSUES
It's a ROM busybox or sqlite3 compatibility issue !!
Re-flash kernel as per Installation Instructions. (kernel install zip flashes proven busybox binary to /system/xbin)
BACKUP & RESTORE
DO NOT restore profiles from different kernel version
Refer to THIS post for "how-to" screen-shots
Refer to THIS post for a "how-to" video
LOADABLE MODULES AREN'T WORKING
Check your /system/lib/modules directory. Are any ____.ko present?
Did you flash a ROM or wipe the system partition at any point? Doing this will remove them !
Re-flash the kernel will install the modules.
If modules aren't installed after flash, then re-flash and manually mount system in recovery first.
You can check running modules in terminal with:
lsmod

BATTERY TIPS (require updating !! )
Try some (or combination) of the CPU MULTICORE features in Synapse:
HMP profile = Default (values are battery orientated)
Power Aware Scheduling (slight performance cost) = Enabled
HMP LITTLE Packing (slight performance cost) = Enabled
PEWQ (power-efficient workqueue) (slight performance cost) = Enabled
Set A57 & A53 Interactive governor profile = Battery
Set Input-Booster for key/touchkey profile = Battery
Multi-tasking: enable UKSM & "low" or "quiet" profile (slight performance/battery cost)
PERFORMANCE TIPS (requires updating !! )
Set A57 & A53 Interactive governor profile = Performance
Set A57 & A53 Interactive governor = Turbo Mode (battery cost)
Set HMP threshold profiles = Stock or Performance
Once in a while:
Optimize Databases
FSTrim
RANDOM REBOOT
Don't UV or UC CPU or GPU
Use SkyHigh defaults
Use a stock UNMODIFIED ROM for your device variant
No tweaks, Xposed or other CPU control apps installed
Follow the TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

THIS is an example from my Exynos5420 source. Similar idea for Exynos4
DOWNLOAD LINK NOT WORKING
I want to keep this project all in one place - ☆☆ NO MIRRORS ☆☆
Please try again in a few minutes
POOR CPU/GPU BENCHMARK or GRAPHICS PERFORMANCE
Disable any CPU MULTICORE options in Synapse
Disable any Battery profiles in Synapse. Set to default or Performance.
Allow the device to cool. Repetitive testing will heat the device hardware and invoke thermal throttling and lead to decreased benchmark.
HIGH CPU/GPU OC == excessive heat == thermal throttling == reduced clock frequency == DECREASE PERFORMANCE
DYNAMIC MANAGEMENT OF DIRTY PAGE WRITEBACKS
by Christopher83
This feature allows to have two different intervals for dirty page writebacks and to dynamically manage them when the system has been resumed (it's active) or when has been suspended.
Three new procfs parameters are exposed inside /proc/sys/vm path:
dynamic_dirty_writeback is the activation status of this feature, set 1 to enable it, set 0 to disable it and use the standard behaviour
dirty_writeback_active_centisecs is the interval for the dirty page writebacks when the system is active (screen on)
dirty_writeback_suspend_centisecs is the interval for the dirty page writebacks when the system is suspended (screen off)
This feature is in part inspired on Francisco Franco's PATCH

v5.8 released
SkyHigh KERNEL REBORN - v5.8 released !!
Hi fellow members.
Please find my latest release for SkyHigh kernel. There are many many changes, both visually (more / improved features) and a upgraded engine (better performance & efficiency) since I last publicly released. Far too many to talk about. . . .
Please note that although I have taken as much care in building and testing by my friends and I, the kernel may still not perform as hoped for you. Could be due to various factors including (but limited to):
hardware quality
firmware installed (incompatibility)
user habit (how you use the device)
apps & mods installed, customization's (conflicts)
user kernel settings (read them carefully - if in doubt == defaults)
As noted in Post #3, I may not have your device variant and not be always able to help either. In the end, sometimes SkyHigh is just not meant for you . . . .
If you have issues = = READ & FOLLOW ALL Posts #1-3
READ & FOLLOW THE INSTALLATION INSTALLATIONS EXACTLY (or else device will not boot)
Also please note (as per OP) the support for UX based ROMS is still in beta. I have personally tested very briefly, and also some of my friends (not all variant). I don't believe this kernel will fix the no call audio issue for those UX ROMs. It is ROM related !!
Enjoy

I suppose it occurred at the time battery was either full or 100% ? I've 2 of those on my N920C whilst on data and standard mains AC charging since v5.6. Battery was either full and or indicating 100%. Only happened (for me) since later kernel source merges. I thought I fixed it 5.6 - 5.8, but maybe not entirely. Could be firmware variant inconsistencies and or stock dt.img.
Unfortunately it's rare (meaning difficult to reproduce the bug so a solution can be found), and I just don't have time to look into things for a long time.

This might be a newby question, but, would a Rooted Stock be able to use this Kernel? I'm guessing you must have a Rom?

Is something wrong with Android File Host? Cannot download...
N920P Tester needed
If you are capable and willing to test G928P SkyHigh kernel pre-release on full stock firmware G928PVPU2BPG1 ??
Just require ONE (THE FIRST TO REPLY) that can work around flashing and recovery WITHOUT anyone holding your hand.
Without proper testing and decent informed feedback, there will be no official release for you. I've spent a lot of time on this for just a few users here. There aren't many appreciative, since I don't even have device.....

Okay.
All I require to finish this test build is the stock G928PVPU2BPG1 boot.img. If you don't have it, then it can be extracted from the full firmware package http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/84809/G928PVPU2BPG1_G928PSPT2BPG1_SPR/ . I need it unmodified.
I can't guarantee much on this, full fresh build on top of your device specific source. A few changes along the way, which could affect stability or boot. etc. No idea.
I'll get it to you ASAP

I'm out getting the car brakes repaired. Will build as send to you for test later. Please make sure your device is prepared with full stock (Same as boot.img) and TWRP. NO other mods, tweaks, xposed or crap. We need to test the "kernel" [emoji3]

I can also test if you need me to, I'm currently running G928PVPU2BPG1 with the kernel from the OP with otherwise stock firmware and all is working fine.
