[Kernel][4.2.1] ShieldKernel for Xoom WiFi - Xoom Android Development

This kernel is based off dreamcwli's kernel here with some added features!
So anything in his kernel will also be in this one.
Source Code:
My source(github) can be found here: https://github.com/The-Captain/android_kernel_moto_wingray
Features:
Rooted Access (of course!)
USB OTG support
Overclock to 1.7
ADB Support
Various Governors & Schedulers
Governors:
Lagfree
DanceDance (Thanks Snuzzo!)
SmartassV2 (Thanks Erasmux!)
Interactive
Conservative
OnDemandX
Powersave
Performance
What is the difference between these governors?
Lagfree:
Instantly goes to a specific CPU frequency immediately after the device wakes, after which it runs close to Conservative. It has been noted, however, as being slow to change frequencies.
DanceDance:
Based on conservative, but with higher ramp rates and better sleep.
SmartassV2:
A rewrite of Smartass, scales down quickly similar to Conservative. But will ramp up quickly as well.
Interactive:
Quick to ramp up to the maximum frequency, but slowly drops the frequency once it is no longer needed.
Conservative:
Slow to ramp up to the maximum frequency, but fast to drop the frequency once no longer needed.
OnDemandX:
An update of OnDemand, it quickly scales up the frequency when needed, but also quickly scales down the frequency when no longer needed.
Powersave:
Forces the CPU to run at the lowest allowed frequency always.
Performance:
The opposite of Powersave, it sets it to the maximum allowed frequency at all times.

Schedulers:
Noop
Deadline
CFQ
SIO
ROW
What is the difference between these schedulers?
I recommend you read up on these if you want here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1989824
Only one not listed is ROW:
ROW stands for read-over-write. Which is better optimized for devices using flash memory and not hard drives.
What ROMs does this work with?
My Android 4.2 (Was built for this - Recommended)
BlackBean7
Eos 4
May work with other ROMs too, just not CM, has to be AOSP based. Be sure to backup before testing!

I may expand it to other variations of the Xoom later, but for right now I'm gonna stick with just the Xoom WiFi running My Android. Sorry

You actually describe the schedulers and governors in you're kernel? Yes, you win. Can you develop everyone else's kernels too? Lol
Seriously though its awesome to see somebody doing kernel work on our old baby. Will this work on other 4.2 roms, though? I actually prefer My Android but I am nevertheless curious.

Haha, as far as the other 4.2 roms, unfortunately no. CM uses a special kernel as far as I know. Maybe that can be worked on in the future. I use My Android since I prefer the stock feel, just wanted some more options when it came to governors and schedulers.

anyone even attempt flashing this on a diff rom.?
Sent from my XOOM XOOM XOOM in ya boom boom!!!

This kernel is based on pure AOSP kernel and likely will not work on CM, AOKP or other similarly based roms. Generally, CM and AOSP kernels just don't mix. This compatibility issue could be worked out in the future. For now just use it as intended and everyone is happy

I'm using it with BlackBean7 and it works great. Whether related or not, the only issues I've had with the ROM were bluetooth connectivity, and after flashing ShiledKernel, my BT problems were solved. Battery life with the combo has been incredible thus far. You shouldn't have much problem running on ROMs other than My Android based on this I would think.

Hasn't been tested yet, I don't know what that is based off, or much about it TBH. If you decide to test it though backup first and please post here to let me know so I can add it to the what the kernel works with list.

New "update" in OP, all that is changed is Lagfree governor has been added though.

Works in Eos 4.
Noticeable difference on Dreamcwli's rom, with and without ShieldKernel. First image is WITH ShieldKernel, on performance at 1504, second is without, also on performance at 1504.

Rom benchmark comparison

This is my compilation of Antutu Benchmarks...I've done many others so expect more.
- All ROMS benchmarked at 768MHz except stock V...set to Airplane mode except Sun Spider
- Ran 3 of each benchmark...I never ran them after each other so no caching.
- Swap partitioned to 128Mb/512Mb fs .... I've shown that partitioning doesn't matter in my other post (check below)
- Phones only used the benching programs & a screenshot app
This took awhile, probably greater than 2 weeks as I restarted again and again when I found better ways to set up the phone, but I like to see actual numbers to back up reasoning...more to come!!!

You don't want that. Better off getting aospCMod.
Hey what filesystem are you using when doing these benchmarks? Also on the stock ROM benchmark on quadrant advanced, are you using the stock unrooted kernel? because I have a stock unrooted v that has never had anything flashed to it and im getting like 480's.
Unreliable
You can't judge a phone when it comes to anything based off of CM7. CM7's stage fright is unstable and basically, skips some of the initial tests and marks them as completed. This causes highly inflated scores. All the 2.2 or non CM7 based ROM's will post more accurate and relevant scores. I have tried almost all of these ROM's and Bumble Bee is the winner for me. Off of real performance speeds, not Quadrant Scores..

True, but that only applies to benchmarks that use stagefright enabled tests, such as Quadrant. He ran his tests on several different benchmarking tools. Besides, we all know benchmarks don't matter, right?

I seem to have better performance out of cm7. I play crusade of destiny every now and then. It lags a bit on bumblebee and other 2.2 rpm's, but its pretty smooth on cm7.
Sent from my VM670 using tapatalk
thank you so much for doing this work man. This is exactly the kind of critical information that a newer user like me needs. In fact I consider this one of the more critically important posts / collection of data that I have come across in my searches for the ROM that will best fit my needs.
I've been torn between a few ROM's (Stock V, Harmonia, Bumblee, Gingerbread based ROM) and this data you've provided will allow me to pick a ROM based on 1) the features I think I will need 2) it's performance level relative to other ROM's.
That's not to say some developers might not leapfrog each other in performance, but it gives me a good idea of who is on a path that I also wanna walk on. And right now that's looking like Harmonia to me (maybe Bumblebee as a trial). But I LOVE the absolutely stripped down nature of Harmonia 1.3.1 on my LG OV.
again, thank you so much for this info.
Interesting. I'd love to see you test Jerry's or KemikalElite's ROMs. On a straight IHO build ondemand @ 245-729MHz I'm getting into the 1500s on AnTuTu, low 900s on Quadrant[1], high 9s on Linpack single threaded.
1: Quadrant seems to be rather dependent upon minimum CPU speed here, as bumping that up a bit got me into the 1100s.
Quadrant scores should be completely thrown out. It's easy to optimize code for the benchmark. Acer released an official patch that did just that for some of their Android phones.
Smartbench may be a better choice. I also would like to see one of the I.H.O. builds tested against the other ROMs.

At this point no one should be downloading AOSP due to its lack of support and general lack of being a good ROM. Bumblebee (2.2, most stable, super fast, great battery life, etc, but stock), Harmonia (2.2 with a lil more features), Ath3nos (most stable 2.3/CM7 so far) and Inferior Human Organs (2.3, CM7.1, still some issues but wide open source, actual bug logging, etc.)

I agree with most of this, except whether Ath3nos is most stable, it's based on an earlier source of IHO, and IHO had a lot more fixes since then. I haven't had any issues with IHO (except the documented ones already, a shrinking list), maybe because it's better documented it seems easier to pick at the details. It should be THE Gingerbread/CM7.1 to use for Optimus V right now.

for one.. im pretty confident all audio issues ive had with MIUI will now be fixed. i had very very similar issues with my og dinc and after flashing tmt's series those were all fixed.
also if im not mistaken..i believe smartass and oc have been optimized.
i mean im not 100% sure..its just what i remembered from my original encounter with it.
Could this be used on the Incredibly Debloated ROM?

Correct. It will not work as they have different ramdisk structures. That's why kernels are tagged AOSP or Sense. There have been a few exceptions in the past that have been compatible with both (I've only seen them for Inc 1 though). Also I believe this is a gingerbread only kernel.
backing up and throwing this on the cm7 nigthly... crosses fingers...
Interested to see if this fix's the Audio issue. Then it would get me to come back to MIUI and load this kernel..to many sound issues for me for now.
so far so good on cm7, haven't tried voice calls yet though to test volumes
clock choices are amazing.. must be 20 of them. ranging from 192mhz to 2035mhz. Don't think i'll be pushing my luck above 1300-1400mhz though

damn this must be pretty well known as a really good kernel.. i was using JDkernel and really happy but gonna have to check this out from a lot of your responses
just loaded this up made a test call.. the volume issue is fixed!!
this also fixed the crashing issue for miui music
I lied...just froze on me.
sent from an under rated phone
*edit* The call volume issue is indeed fixed
No issues so far, running it on OMFGB rom, froze setcpu so I could let the kernel at stock clock + the smartass governor do it's thing and see just how far I can squeeze the battery. So far I'm very impressed with this kernel.
If you're like me and have been endlessly flashing between CM7, MIUI, OMGB and OMFGB, Rmk's sense, etc and especially if you have tried other kernels, I'd highly recommend you wipe your battery stats after flashing this. I was a little worried after I first flashed it as I was draining pretty fast (not the fault of the kernel, just have to clean up after a shameless tweak like me gets a hold of something) but I wiped the stats and all systems are go now
One question I have is about the SBC feature mentioned on the FAQ on tiamat website. Is this included in this kernel and if so is it possible to turn it off somehow? I know its included for the Inc and evo - both probably because of the charging issue which the inc2 also has. So wondering if this was included for this kernel. Thanks again. Other than that its running nice and smooth. Hope to run it through the courses to see battery life differences if any
Sent from my Incredible 2 using Tapatalk
OK, so I came from the droid 2, where we didn't have kernels. So noob question incoming.
Does the kernel itself have settings, or would I use setcpu?
If the settings are built in, how do I get to them/change them?
Sent from somewhere over the double rainbow.
Things like clock speed and governor can be controlled through setCPU or the built in performance settings of cyanogenmod. Undervolting is built into some kernels, but I don't think there's a tool for customizing voltages on the incredible 2 yet.

Post up your AnTuTu Benchmark scores! Please only post up screenshots for verification purposes.
Thanks to you zedomax! I am running just his kernel, without a custom ROM on top, and I love this thing. It is rock stable at 1.6GHz.
Correct me if I am wrong, but this sure looks like, at least for now, I am the highest score on AnTuTu with an E4GT. Am I right?

I guess that's what I get for trying, but I did say to limit this to E4GT only, so the SGS2 with the 7700+ doesn't count.
I will also state I ran mine exactly the same way I run it every day, with widgets running and such. SO I will go back and tweak what I can and see what I get. At the time, though, I thought it was cool.

Pardon me, I misread.
So how about some advice and pointers? Your RAM is one thing that is killing me, and if I were able to get 1650-1700MHz I figure the CPU figures will help themselves. My read/write is dead on with yours. So what do I do to get to those speeds and that much free RAM? I am running Tegrak as well. And other than the zedomax kernel and root, everything else is stock.

I don't trust any kernel that isn't based off of stock pulled at this point. I have social hub, media hub, and all the drm apps frozen. I think I have the odexed nociq mod but that might've gone away when I had to revert to a nandroid backup not sure. Don't use a live wallpaper.. That's about all I can think of really. Every phone is different so we could have the exact same setup and get different scores.

Jeez, I can't much higher than 5900 at 1600min/max mhz, performance gov, calk rom, lost kernal.. it looks like my CPU float-point and integer are crap compared to you guys

I got the same setup... 1.6GHz max, performance gov, calkulin's rom, lost kernel 1.0.0.8. got similar score in 5900 range. then I flashed zedomax 6.02, same story... something in calkulin's rom isnt liking our overclocking.
try the pulled kernel and tegrak

Are you recommending chris' stock pulled repacked with cwm, or his eg30plus?
edit: not even breaking 5400 on stock + tegrak @ 1.452

Power GLaDOS Kernel !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey, guys.
Recently, the GLaDOS Kernel -> overclock problem solving have been.
so, i'm glados control app -> overclock conducted.
my galaxy nexus -> max overclock : 1.8Ghz.
2.1Ghz Is possible.
But do not last long.
I'd like to suggest to you.
glados kerenl is very good. the best kernel.

Hi,
Like I said on RootzW you're the first!
It's crazy and congratulations for the higher CPU frequency I'v seen for a Gnex
Yes this kernel+the app are awesome!
You should specify that it is with Smartreflex disable and all device can't handle these high frequencies...
It will take me to begin to test above my "little" 1.63Ghz...
This kernel is a beast...and your phone also

GLaDOS has been amazing for me everyone talks about this kernel and that kernel but none compare to the advances in GLaDOS imo it stands alone at the top of the pack. Ezekeel is a great developer his work and devotion to the Galaxy Nexus and his GLaDOS kernel is second to none. Congrats on the 2.1 GHz

Will have to agree with all comments here on GladOS. I've been running it since rooting my GNex, and it's been rock solid stable, fast, and the battery life is awesome using Wheatley. Ezekeel is a great dev, and definitely deserves some more limelight.
My phone crashes at 1.6 which is the highest setting on the cdma version (I don't have the glados app yet)

In the current version does not work properly.
To rise to 1.6Ghz,
as follows:
Create init.d tweak.
------------------------------
# SmartReflex
echo "0" > /sys/kernel/debug/smartreflex/sr_mpu/autocomp
echo "0" > /sys/kernel/debug/smartreflex/sr_core/autocomp
echo "0" > /sys/kernel/debug/smartreflex/sr_iva/autocomp

my galaxy nexus put in the freezer measurement.
Temperature: 11 degrees.
How are you?
Re,
Yeah!!!!
You can post your score here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1443343&highlight=benchmark

Remember when the platform was sliding into the fire pit and I said "Goodbye", and you were like, [deep voice] "No way!" And then I was all, "We pretended we were going to murder you." That was great.

I was surprised at develoid.
In my phone freeze happens 1.65Ghz
reached 1920 mhz cpu oc without problems!at 2.1 freeze all...at 2 ghz freeze when benchmarked..very good find,also if in normal situation 1400 goes well,without go with higher mhz.but for a flashaolic extreeme overclocker like me it's the best to see that with smartreflex disabled with liveoc i can reach same oc step that htc devices with quallcomm cpu.gnex and omap4 rocks!

[Kitkat] Defy(+) CM11 Performance Tests

Hi guys,
Following the development of CM11 for the Defy(+) by @Quarx, I decided to share the evolution of performance "Nightly".
The results were obtained from the average of 3 tests for each "Nightly", using two app for measuring performance: Quadrant and AnTuTu.
Configuration for testing:
CM11 Nightly (by @Quarx)
Defy+ (MB526)
CPU (OC): 300/20 600/35 900/50 1200/64
CPU (SC): 300/33 600/48 800/58 1000/62
Governor: Interactive
I/O: Deadline
Installation conditions: No clean install (version over version)
TWRP > Advanced Wipe > Dalvik Cache/Cache
Install > Nightly/GApps > Wipe Cache/Dalvik > Reboot System

}
Added test on SC (Stock Clock) at the request of @Blechd0se
* Random reboots occurred frequently in the early versions. For me no longer occurs since version 2014.01.24 (except version 2014.01.28, very problematic);
* Crashes occur on Google Search (maybe because I'm using GEL) and Aero Control in the first 4-5 reboots (it seems necessary to stabilize the unclean installs). After, no more crashes!
* @Quarx and @Blechd0se, the greatest variability between consecutive tests in both apps is about IO (reaching 40-60%), by showing up unstable;
BUG @Quarx (and @okij):
Camera: auto-focus doesn't work using size 3.7M (best aspect ratio - the same of screen);
Shortcuts from Apps moved to SD card disappear after reboot;
Battery Drain: 2014.02.08, 2014.02.09, 2014.02.10, 2014.02.11, 2014.02.12;
Battery charge bugs: 2014.02.18, 2014.02.19, 2014.02.20;
Additonal information:
_ Development-related forum (here);
_ Short Path to clean install (here);
_ Bug list by @okij (here);
_ CM11 by @Quarx (here);
_ BaNkS GApps (here) - use only Banks Minimal GApps;
_ For those interested, following link GEL (Google Experience Launcher);
Special thanks for the improvements in the kernel obtained by @Blechd0se!
Sorry for my bad english
Awesome work, keep with this !
Add
All tests were done with my device using all applications for daily use (added to BaNkS GApps, amounted 159 Apps), connected with the following services: Wi-Fi, Location, 2G/3G and Sync.

Welcome @Saturnal here on xda and thanks for this nice debut, well done! If possible, update your thread (preferably the opening post) when new nightlies are released.
I just announced your thread here on the CM11 development thread, because many users are mainly reading the dev thread and I think that your thread deserves some attention.
Great work, keep up!
Could you provide some subjective experiance about less measurable performance as well? I think the most interesting and important would be wake up time during calls (for me at least). In this manner it seems to be worse over time on my device (I also don't do clean installs).
Great work! For reference I Can aport my numbers in antutu I get 4789 with a Defy Red lens in the last CM10.2
Thanks for the info! It is nice interesting to see the difference between the builds (and between the effect on the different benchmark-types).
How precisely does it make sense to compare these numbers with benchmarks on other Defy's with other installed apps?
If meaningful, I might do a benchmark of my own Defy.
I ask this because I find my Defy on Wiui to bug/crash/slow down a bit too much lately (after a few months of using it) and therefore I'm thinking of trying another ROM. As I read that Kitkat in general was lighter on RAM-usage, I tought of looking at that direction. (I'm not that interested in the latest GUI etc., rather looking for stability, efficiency and performance.)
Very interesting. For what it is worth, I get AnTuTu score 4893 with 0126, and a score of 5074 with 0205 nightly. The phone is overclocked to 1200 MHz.

Sure! Is fairly smooth transition of screens (I'm using GEL). Keeps bug #31 (screen is half blacked out while getting incoming calls) and #26 (screen needs about 5 seconds to wakeup when a call is receive). Crashes occur on Google Search (maybe because GEL) and Aero Control in the first 4-5 reboots (it seems necessary to stabilize the unclean installs).

Thanks, but it's clear that I posted averages between 3 tests, so got higher values ​​than those shown in the chart Moreover, different test conditions lead to different values.
:good:Keep doing tests and posting to help all users with more references!

Makes sense to analyze the variation of the benchmarks on the same device in pre-established conditions. So we can see which version is more optimized for use!
If you think about changing ROM, I strongly recommend CM11 by @ Quarx!:good:

I have red lense Defy with GB kernel and latest CM7. No OC, 1000mhz
Antutu score 3900.
Now what is interesting is that you have everything better exceptdatabase I/O. I have 360 and you 215. Hm, Storage I/O is again on your side and nearly double. Mine 425 against your 922+. What is holding down CM11 in this department I wonder.
It is interesting how much results differ. With 0205 nightly I now get consistently over 5200 with AnTuTu. Of course benchmarks results will not translate to real world performance, but 0205 feels very smooth. Telephony problems are gone too, after the build.prop fix.
On the hand, quadrant scores are lower than Saturnal's, average is 1557.

There is great variability in the score Storage I/O. Have found values ​​between 271-956. See a test using Stock Clock 1000MHz.

It's an amazing score. If I get the best value of all tests pass little more than you found, reaching 5235 (AnTuTu).:highfive:
Very good work! Just a suggestion: could u add another benchmark app like basemark?

Thanks! But, there's a great variety benchmarks in market. I lose a lot of time to obtain consistent results. Unfortunatly, I can't comply your request. Moreover, basemark is focused on graphics performance, while our target is the entire hardware performance combined with CM11.:good:
