Hello folks, I'll make this first post temporary, and let everyone know that this Kernel hasn't been developed or tested yet, I just bought my TF300T a couple days ago. I am starting this thread because I initially want some requests/ideas for a new kernel. I am mostly working on this for my own personal use, but at the same time I love to share with the community, so all of my source code and all releases will be posted up on XDA and github.
I want to base this work off of my previous kernels that I developed for the Acer A100/A200/A500 devices. The reason is that I want to include the options for several different OverClock steps, several optional 3rd party Governors, Zram support, AutoGroup Scheduling for Android, Extra / Optional I/O Schedulers, Cleancache + Zcache support, if necessary mmc_cap_erase delete (brick prevention; may not be necessary with this device??).
Here is an example link to my acer kernel: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1818924
I plan to port a lot of the features over to this device, but it will take some time to get things right and stable. I am looking for ideas, volunteers, or even partners (team members) to help with this project so that we can bring TF300 users the most stable and feature rich kernel possible. Also this kernel source may be ported to work with other Asus Transformer devices or clones, but since I personally own the TF300T, it will be the only "supported" kernel unless others wish to join the team and help with porting the kernel to work with other devices.
So people, let me know any ideas you have for a new kernel, and any features you'd like to see added. I want to get community input PRIOR to development instead of developing a test build and getting tons of requests for things that may be useful but incompatible with the work already done. Hopefully this makes sense to everyone, and I really look forward to working with a new community and bringing EVERYONE a feature rich kernel that works with stock roms as well as CM/AOKP etc..
undervolting would be cool

Definitely, undervolting is of high priority in this project.
Basically any bonus feature I added to my acer kernels in the thread I mentioned above, will be considered for this kernel and added unless there is a major conflict somewhere. I intend the kernel to boot for all users with as close to stock settings as possible, but users may use init scripts or apps such as CPU Master to change default boot settings / profiles / governors. That way it keeps one kernel for everyone, and gives people who aren't extreme OC'ers benefits of the kernel, as well as those who want extreme performance and extreme control tons of features.
As you said in the other thread a combination of clemsyn and unters would be great. Also have a look what _that has done with the tf700 kernel (compatible with tf300) by adding cifs, iso, Fsync and row scheduler support.
Underclocking would be great as well. Clemsyn's elite battery saver kernel on the nexus 7 was fantastic but didn't support 4.2.1 once everyone upgraded.
Also not sure if you are aware but you can mess with the asus cpu scripts inside system/etc to set different clock speeds and limits like I do in my kernel installer for CROMI.
Welcome aboard!
Are you planning to keep develop unters kernel or start one of your own?anyway id like to see pegasusq governor and deadline i/o

I've been doing a bit of researching on the device before jumping into the coding, so every little bit of insight helps, I know the tf700 and tf300 share the same kernel sources for the most part, but are the devices backward compatible kernels completely? Just from what I have read on a few threads, there are some issues with some hardware and the tf700 kernels with the tf300.. I'm not familiar with the row scheduler yet, is it an I/O scheduler or is it a kernel task scheduler such as BFS/CFS/Autogroup? I had intended to include the Autogroup scheduler for this device, as it has been well tested on my other devices, and improves overall stability, speed, responsiveness (and yes those benchmark scores will raise a very noticeable amount haha). Autogroup was originally for linux, and use the TTY task grouping, which isn't compatible with android, in my Acer kernels I patched it so that it used UID task grouping, and like I mentioned, everyone was very pleased with it (although most people don't completely understand the concepts)
About setting clock speeds in init scripts, thats completely common, and usually its the strategy that most apps take too, they just automate script writing/editing process. I actually want to go in the kernel's sources and edit the cpu freq tables for the highest stable overclock combination possible, yet keep a default clock for the kernel that is known to work and not cause problems. Then of course users can use the init.d scripts as you mentioned to set cpu frequencies at boot, or per event cpu freq as they please.
Governors are an important thing seems to be left out in the tf300t community from what I have seen. I personally want to try to get the preferrered governors I am experienced with working with this device such as, Smartass(v2), Savagedzen, Intellidemand, Wheatley, Lulzactive, Lionheart, and all the stock standard GPL governors.
For I/O Schedulers I'd like to add: BFQ, CFQ, SIO, DEADLINE, and V(R) (based on stability and performance on other devices I have developed with, I'd expect the default I/O scheduler to be V(R), however its hard ot say at this point as no testing has been done yet).
For underclocking, you mean undervolting? If so then: We'll most likely have to just see what the device likes with trial and error on a few test runs, although this shouldn't be hard to achieve. If you mean underclocking, I'm not sure I exactly understand what you'd be trying to accomplish as this feature is already achievable with stock kernels???
I really appreciate all the hard work that you have put into this community, as well as the other devs, and appreciate all the great welcomes!! Thanks!! Keep up the good work and I look forward to working with you guys!

My plan is to take the stock kernel sources and implement the features that I speak of. Also I will probably be referencing other kernel devs sources throughout this process, but my current intention is to base my kernel from stock, and put most of the work I put in myself and if there is anything that the other devs add that I haven't added I will patch those in as well. Generally it is much easier to work with a stock kernel and manually implement features, than to take someone elses work and try to guess at things they have done. If sources are all on git servers, then it will make referencing a whole lot easier, but if sources to most kernels are just zipped/tarred up then it makes comparing things a PITA.
As for the Pegasusq governor, that shouldn't be a problem, as long as it plays well with our processor/board. I am all about as many governors as possible Just sometimes so many options makes debugging harder when people are experiencing stability issues. I will keep anything mentioned here open for implementation, and we'll justs have to see what works and what doesn't.
I appreciate all the great pointers and ideas guys. Like I said I look forward to working with you all. For now its bed time in KY. Night guys!
Can't wait to see how this kernel progresses.... On thing that would be incredible is, my note 2 has a app called st tweaks that you can change cpu/gpu voltage and speed with a lot more options. To have something like that on the TF300 would be great. Most of us run our gpu oced to 650 or 700mhz....

Yes undervolting. Typod underclocking
sounds interesting

Great to see new development to our beloved devices!
+1 Very curious to how this pans out! Seems promising :good:
Welcome Sir
Will you also develop 4.2 kernels or will you stick to 4.1 only?
Please add gpu overclock to 700mhz and the possibilty to manage gpu frequencies
This sounds very interesting!!! What I would like you to do is name one for CyanogenMod 10.1 (android 4.2) since I am using that ROM right now.
Sent from my TF300T using Tapatalk HD
My main requests would be GPU OC and i/o improvements.
Just to add to the discussion I'm curious as to why people use other governors on jellybean other than interactive. I am all for choice and customization but you kinda remove something important from jellybean when you don't use the interactive governor in jellybean.
Sorry if this sounds rude I'm just genuinely curious :laugh:
To add to the suggestions things I would thoroughly like to see are 1) cm10.1 support 2) Row scheduler support 3) interactive governor patches.
Notes regarding the third suggestion: Google updated the interactive governor when 4.2 was released to make things significantly smoother and more battery friendly. Though things must be tuned on a per device basis but if people use this kernel enough there should be a decent amount of people to test things and tune it it in just right for this tablet.
Welcome on board, can't wait to see the results.
i would like to see data2sd support for uhs-1 support.

OK, my wish list:
- CPU freq management
- GPU freq management (preferably live)
- Color management (incl Trinity & OMAP Gamma management)
- Governor management (incl governor settings)
- i/o management (I WANT row scheduler)
And an app to control this. Preferably your own app. Make that App a paid App. (I'd buy it it in a heartbeat).
Have fun!
---------- Post added at 08:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:34 PM ----------
Oh and support both 4.1 and 4.2 ...
Lots of good suggestions and ideas I have read so far. I'm surprised at all of the replies on here so quickly, thats great!
The things I see brought up on here the most that people are wanting are GPU userland control and the ROW scheduler. I mentioned previously that I wasn't familiar with ROW scheduler, but after doing a bit of research, it makes sense as the mainline linux patch wasn't submitted until August. Glad to see that ROW scheduler is just another Block/IO Scheduler too, that makes my plan of implementing my own flavor of Autogroup for Android still valid and possible.
I have seen a few people mention about Interactive Governor and Jelly Bean, I think there is a bit of confusion about Jelly Bean relying on Interactive to work properly. I think this confusion came from the Nexus 7 and Jelly Bean development, as the N7 had the interactive governor rewritten for better OS integration with JB, however JB doesnt exactly depend on it, and you can always base/rewrite new governors off of the Interactive that JB supported kernel source(s) have used.
Most likely the interactive governor will remain the default governor with my kernel, yet the 'option' will be available for several other cpu governors also. This should help people who don't like to rely on cpu profiles, and vice versa.
The main things right now I see people want are:
*1.8+ ghz CPU OC
*650/700 + GPU OC
*Userland GPU control (may be easier said than implemented)
*Userland CPU/GPU Voltage Control
*Added CPU Governors (including backporting N7 interactive governor for better scaling performance with Jellybean)
*Added Block I/O Scheduler Support (i.e. ROW, Deadline, VR, NOOP, BFQ, etc)
*CIFS/Samba FS Support
*NTFS R/W support (high speed) - I need to research the NTFS support provided with stock roms and 3rd party roms. NTFS-3G (fuse) would be the best option if it doesn't break compatiblilty with the stock rom's VOLD
*Backwards compatibility throughout roms including stock roms, CM10, CM10.1, aokp, etc (4.0, 4.1.x, 4.2 base)
Some things I haven't seen many or any people mention that I personally would be interested in including support for (which may or may not be included in stock kernel source / configs):
*ZRAM
*CleanCache + Zcache
I've mentioned a lot about Autogroup scheduler in the previous posts, I'm sure that most people probably don't fully understand what it is for and what the other options are. If you have ever had a device with a custom kernel that supported BFS (brain f*ck scheduler) then you know of the performance increase overall with BFS. As far as I know the Acer Tabs that I integrated Autogroup into the kernel was the first android tablet to fully support Autogroup on Android, as the original Autogroup mainline patch was developed for GNU Linux distributions that use per-tty task scheduling, android doesn't use this, instead I patched Autogroup kernel source to use UID task scheduling (per user/root) instead, and the results were quiet astonishing versus the standard CFS (completely fair scheduler). Autogroup is very well known for outperforming BFS also, and BFS had been used with android devices previously to get around the sluggishness from CFS, since Autogroup didn't work properly out of the box with Android. To help sum things up, here is a link explaining more about how Autogroup helps process/task scheduling at the kernel level: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?item=linux_2637_video&num=2&page=article
Right now I'm still in the research phase of this project, and learning more about the actual hardware inside the device, and what methods our stock roms / custom roms use to interact with the hardware. I'm planning on getting my sources for my new kernel started sometime tomorrow, but as much as people get their hopes up for things like this, I will say that I'm not going to rush into throwing out releases or putting things together in a hurry. I'm all for a quality kernel here, and with that said - it will take some time to get everything in line. Please don't ask for ETAs or if I have any beta/test versions. As soon as I have a test kernel zimage available it will be posted and available on my github.
I appreciate everyone's collaboration and cooperation greatly! Many good things to come guys!
Hands down if you can make this happen I will give you 10 bucks.

Second post!
And now, a FAQ. @franciscofranco's FAQ, updated to fit our device.
F.A.Q. - Read this before complaining!
1. My phone exploded, HALP!
A: I don't answer to problems without a log. The log file is in /proc/last_kmsg. Paste it on pastie.org and link it on your post. Logcats are useless for Kernel purposes, don't bother posting them.
2. OMG BETTARY SUCKZ, IT DEAD IN 45 MINUTAS, HALP!
A: As you can imagine I don't build kernels to decrease battery life. All the battery life problems come from your apps, either Facebook, or Maps, or some Location Service being enabled etc etc. Check your damn wakelocks and fix them, the kernel is not responsible for them.
3. How do I flash this?
A: Since it's an .elf file, it's only flashable through fastboot. The general command is "fastboot flash kernel.elf"
4. OP is arrogant, I'm gonna call the Internet Police?
A: Deal with it.
5. Touch Control doesn't work in rXXX release, you suckas, fix plixe!
A: I don't know who you are. I don't know what you want. If you are looking for a fix, I can tell you I don't have the solution. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills; skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you leave now, that'll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you, and I ignore you.
6. What's up with the kernel's name?
A: Well I have '755' in my name. So there's that...
7. I'm on stock/CM10/CM9/GB and this kernel doesn't work.
A: This kernel is ONLY for CyanogenMod 10.1 and any ROMs that came of it (like AOKP, for example). Don't flash on anything else unless you are SURE the ROM is based off of RaymanFX's CM10.1.
8. My Locked-bootloader phone won't boot with this/I can't flash it.
A: This is a custom kernel. It requires an unlocked bootloader.
9. What app do you recommend for dealing with CPU settings?
A: Use TricksterMod. For 2D GPU OC and setting the 2nd core's governor, I recommend Kernel Tuner. Both are feature-packed and free, and if you don't mind an extra icon in your drawer, I say get both.
10. What is the difference between releases marked as a# and r#?
A: The r# releases are considered the most stable, but do not pack all the features. Because my work is rather slow, I'll add an alpha, an a# release, every time a minor change is introduced. But even if they look and feel stable, do not consider them as such. Most of them are dirty builds!!! Meant for advanced users only, so distributed in fastboot-flashable format ONLY!
11. I want to support you and your work!
A: Putting a subtle sign in your signature that you're using my kernel (or like it or have used it). Please, no big banners or anything, just the name of the kernel. That would be appreciated the most.
And now, thanks!

Again, can a mod please delete this one?
Why did DevDB add this? Can I please get a Mod to delete it? :3
so the actual kernel itself is not even built yet?? I thought placeholders are not allowed?
It is built, sorry it took me some time to write the OPs
Check again, the first build is there :3
Great work really ! i have been waiting for an overclocked kernel for CM.10.1. Any chance of getting the GPU overclocked too ? and one more, is the CM10.1 kernel only overclocked ?
I said tnx I even recommend PAC users to try your kernel but try to slow down a little bit.
Your OP is ridiculous...you are arguing with yourself man...
You'll undermine your good work with stupid sentences.
Friendly advice - don't do that - be nice and all guys will appreciate you.

@Anicane: Yeah, it's OC'd, but the boot frequency is locked at 1,5GHz. All features are up there in the OP.
There are more to come, I'm hoping to release a shiny new build sometime this week.
Though GPU OC is gonna take me a bit more time to figure out (I'm a complete newbie at this )

I'm here to prove you don't have to be serious to do a good job. All it takes is determination and time.
Thanks for the recommendations, though, appreciated
Nice to see a new developer here. What about some GPU overclock?
OP is just what it really has to be in every thread to avoid those guys who crap everything up and blame authors for that.

Yeah, as said, GPU OC is coming, but it's not on the priorities list.
I'm currently adding 3 I/O schedulers, so that's new. Hopefully you'll get a new build by midnight
Next are CPU governors (hopefully a lot of them). -- Any specific wishes here? I have quite a lot to choose from
Only when I finish that, I'll add GPU OC. Thank god it's all open source, so I can steal a little from here and there
Also, I'm having some issues with the compiler, so that could make things worse... (Damnit, -O3 flag, y u no work!? I want you optimized... ;-

thanks man,means alot! really do appreciate the support!
Flashing it as I type
Will report soon, it's good to see new kernel from people in this gnex threads
Edit: got my first freeze, lol. Maybe the voltages are too low, I guess?
But I got a couple questions:
1. Did you intended to UV voltages, including IVA? I see it lower than DirtyV and Franco.
2. The frequency steps..... There's a lot of it, but is it correct? There are numerous voltages that are new to me lol like 460, 1480, 1560...
Maybe you could explain just a little bit lol
Edit2: pattyboi did you implemented early suspend on interactive? There's a slight lag when waking up the device
Btw there's pegasusq, too.
This is how it starts you are now entering the Linux twilight zone of the quest for the best kernel patches go get em @pattyboi:)
@aosp you're a veteran
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app

sorry for the late reply bud,i fell asleep after getting that 2nd build up. the 460 is gonna be removed,as i said im still nooby and i didnt add it right :silly: the rest should be correct as i didnt touch any other one,the uv voltages were just burstlams slight uv on regulators,i havent touched anything with iva,mpu or anything else,ill probabaly bump them up a lil within the nest couple days still gotta wrap my head around how to properly do it lol. but thank you for testing man! & yeah the interactive early suspend i "think" is there,is 7 am so im not entirely sure,if its causing wake lag i might try and switch the interacitves or just remove early suspend,like i said its a big mess i gotta iron out
EDIT ,one more thing,did you disable eco mode? that might cause wake delay because it was for me

Take it easy bud, we're all here learning as well lol
Yeah I'm not using eco mode and intelli-plug, not liking the less-snappier feel lol.
You could take interactive from either bsmitty's or Franco's, I think they're making out the best interactive so far. :good:
Also, this kernel has GPU governor. Is it overclocked as default?
Btw, I'm suggesting to do some wrapping on your OP. Because your kernel has many features inside lol :laugh:

E980 Kernel+
***I am not responsible for you bricking your device or causing any other unwanted outcomes to your device. Be careful and smart. If you don't know what you're doing you probably shouldn't be flashing this.***
This is the E980 Kernel+The end goal here is to have a kernel with more features and potentially much better battery life. I can only guarantee it will work on E980, not sure if it will work on other devices. I also do not know what ROMs it will work on. That is up to you to share. Rule of thumb is, if it's CyanogenMod, it'll work.
Suported Devices:
E980
E988
***If you are interested in building your ROM with my kernel, you have my permission to do so. However, if you could just let me know, that'd be nice. Also a credit would be appreciated but is not necessary either.***

HOW TO BUILD
At this point if anybody wants to try out the kernel before I make releases, you are free to compile it yourself. I would like to ask that you do not share compilations just because I like to track how many people download and use the kernel through my goo.gl links and the afh download counter. I don't like it when people rehost my kernel since it gives me misguided numbers on how many people are following my work. It's just personal though, I'm not going to stop you. I just like it because it gives me an idea of how many people are using my work and kind of makes me want to keep working on it since I know how many people still use it.
Anyways, I'll leave instructions to compile right here:
This is assuming you're using a Linux distro (VM or not, has to be 64-bit) Pretty much everybody recommends Ubuntu, and that's fine, but if you want my suggestion Mint runs like a dream. Anyways to building!
You'll need to get the required packages. I forget these off the top of my head, but they're something like this:
Code:
sudo apt-get install -y build-essential kernel-package libncurses5-dev bzip2 abootimg
There might be more, idk. This should get you through the build. Let me know if there's anything else.
Next we'll make a directory and grab the sources.
Go to your main directory to store the android folder in (for tidiness sake), if you have a preference you can do this differently. If you're not sure what you're doing here, just go from where you are (should be your main dir):
Code:
mkdir android
cd ~/android
git clone https://github.com/Snepsts/kernel_e980.git
This might take a while... when it's done you should have a folder called "kernel_e980" in your android directory.
While we're downloading, go get the latest M build or the latest nightly of CyanogenMod: https://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=e980
This will be useful later.
Now we go grab a toolchain. My favorite is this one: http://www.mediafire.com/?x7lgbeprpg8gn choose the cortex A-15 one. Untar it and move the folder wherever you like. I suggest the android folder to follow the rest of the guide.
Code:
cd ~/Downloads
tar -xvf arm-cortex_a15-linux-gnueabihf-linaro_4.7.4-2014.06-build_2014_09_13.tar.xz
Now move this folder through the GUI (Graphical User Interface), much easier than more commands imo.
Now rename the folder toolchain, just because it's easier.
Now we're ready to build. The username is whatever your Linux username is.
Code:
cd ~/android/kernel_e980
export ARCH=arm
export CROSS_COMPILE=/home/username/android/toolchain/bin/arm-cortex_A15-linux-gnueabihf-
make cyanogenmod_e980_defconfig
All ready to go
One last thing, before you make it, if you are a little more advanced and need to toggle something or do anything else, use:
Code:
make menuconfig
You probably don't need that.
The # means the amount of cores in your computer's processor +1. For example, my Linux virtual machine has 4 cores allocated to it, so I assign it -j5. Now to make the kernel:
Code:
make -j#
And watch the words flyyyyy.
If anything fails, double check you didn't mess up. Also, the current Github build is never guaranteed to succeed.
Once the build is completed, you should see something like:
zImage is created!
Or something. Now go to your Downloads and get the boot.img out of the CyanogenMod build whatever way you wish to.
We'll leave it in the Downloads folder for the sake of the guide:
Code:
cd ~/Downloads
abootimg -x boot.img
Now you should have a zImage, intrid.img, and a bootimg.cfg. Ignore the zImage, move the intrid.img and bootimg.cfg to the ~/android/kernel_e980/arch/arm/boot folder.
Now we finish the kernel:
Code:
cd ~/android/kernel_e980/arch/arm/boot
abootimg --create boot.img -f bootimg.cfg -k zImage -r intrid.img
Done! Your kernel will be the boot.img file.
Replace a current kernel.zip's boot.img with this one, you can use any of the E980Kernel+ .zip folders for this. Just remove the boot.img in that one then put yours in it. I always upload my kernel to Gdrive and then download it to my phone to flash. But whatever you wanna do from here is fine.
And now you have the latest version of E980Kernel+ Unofficial. Yay you!

About E980 Kernel+
In this post we will go over some of the things in this kernel and shed some light on what they do... Let me know if you have any information to contribute or anything else
Intelli-Plug
Intelli-Plug is developed and updated by Faux123.
Intelli-Plug is a hot plug replacement for Qualcomm's proprietary MP-Decision. MP-Decision essentially decides the final factor on clock speeds, when cores go offline, how long they go offline, and they generally manage your CPU. There is a lot of discussion over whether or not Qualcomm's solution to hot plugging is efficient or not. Intelli-Plug is an open-source and updated version of MP-Decision in which anybody can contribute to and improve. It uses different methods for arguably better performance and better battery life. The current version used is optimized for MSM-8960 chipsets (like ours). It is updated and even offers convenient profiles to optimize battery life, performance, balance the two, or do a little between each option. Some of the profiles allow an eco-mode like experience. Eco-mode is a depreciated feature of Intelli-Plug that turned a quad-core processor into a dual-core, effectively optimizing the processor to run like a dual-core and save more battery power. In order to toggle the profiles option without paying 5 dollars for the Faux Clock app, you may use a root explorer (like ES File Explorer), go to sys/module/intelli-plug/parameters/nr_run_profile_sel and input a number anywhere between 0-5.
I prefer this option ON and do not currently have a profile preference. In my experience it improves the overall device (performance/battery life) with no noticeable drawbacks.
Intelli-Thermal
Intelli-Thermal is developed and updated by Faux123.
Intelli-Thermal is a thermal replacement to Qualcomm's proprietary thermal solutions. It is open-source and anybody can contribute to it. It has optimized thermal performance and is arguably more efficient than stock thermal settings. In addition to being an open-source and updated module, Intelli-Thermal offers customization such as: personal selection of cores to throttle at a self-determined value, and a similar selection for cores to offline (minus core 0, since it must be online at all times). Intelli-Thermal allows you to set your own rules (do not set the limit too high) and thermal values are in Celsius.
I prefer this option ON, and set Frequency Throttle Limit to 70 C, Core Offline Limit to 65 C, enable all cores for Frequency Throttling Cores, and enable Cores 2 & 3 for Offline Cores. Rarely do I ever experience heat, and if so it is very minimal. The device may lag or get hot depending on your settings, so please be careful or mindful of what you set. This works better on some ROMs than others.
*** Personal Note: These two are of my favorites because they are optimized and make for a better experience with little to no performance drops. This is just my preference, and it can be chosen to follow as a guideline by your discretion. ***
Multi-Core Power Saving
This is a normal kernel feature.
Multi-Core Power Saving is a basic feature that, depending on the profile selection, groups tasks to a certain amount of cores. 0 is off, so the device runs as normal. 1 is on, and will try to group tasks into single cores or multiple cores at lower frequencies to save power, but will not force it. 2 is aggressive, and depending on the user, may find that this causes a little more lag as the phone really hates using any extra CPU juice for anything, processes may be clustered and slowed down from this, but battery life is also the best at 2.
I prefer this option set to 1, as it has no noticeable lag and seems to still optimize the battery a little more. This option varies from user to user.
Faux Sound Control
Faux Sound Control is developed and updated by Faux123.
Faux Sound Control is a custom feature that enables sound manipulation on the kernel level. This feature will allow you to modify the gain (Make sound louder at the potential cost of music quality or lower for ear protection) and other various settings from a kernel level. This is completely user preference and will vary from user to user.
Intelli-Demand CPU Governor
Intelli-Demand CPU Governor is yet another feature developed and updated by Faux123.
Intelli-Demand means Intelligent On Demand. On Demand is a kernel CPU Governor that comes as the stock setting for most phones. But it tends to be a little less than optimized and such results in sub-par battery life. Intelli-Demand is a tweaked version by Faux that will allow for similar performance and better battery life. It is also popular for gaming as when the GPU 3D load gets heavy it will perform like On Demand as not to interfere with game loads.
This is my current preferred CPU Gov as it has never given me problems and works like a charm.
I/O Scheduling
I/O Schedulers are different ways of controlling the input/output stream of information in with the memory of a phone. These generally do not vary too much in performance or battery-life but everybody seems to have a preferred one. I don't have a favorite and switch between noop, row, and zen from time to time again.
My only preferred setting here is setting the read-ahead buffer to 4096, as it increases speed and performance without any real hit to the battery.
TCP Congestion Control
I am not very well versed in TCP protocol or anything in the sort, but this basically controls how your phone interacts with Wifi/Data packets.
My preference (and, from what I've read, the general consensus) points to the Westwood TCP Congestion Controller. Never had any problems with it, too lazy to benchmark them.
I will add more later, and as I add features to the kernel, I will add explanations! Also, I plan on buying the Faux Clock app soon simply to figure out which profile is which (since the information is nowhere to be found) and then I'll return it and report the numbers back here. Also, whenever Cyanogen decides we're ready for CM12 official, the kernel will be ready for CM12 too. Please bear in mind that I hate updating and am not one with the Github (nor do I have time to learn about Github). Cheers! :good:

F240 is korean. I really don't know the exact difference between the E98x variants and the F240x. Maybe some kernel thingy.

Yes. VMware using Linux Mint 64-bit. My main machine is a Windows 7 with AMD FX-6350 (3.9 GHz) and 8 GB of RAM.
Here, read the guide mukwing gave me in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/optimus-g-pro/general/making-cm11-0-kernel-e980-t2870820
That should be everything you need. Props to him he knows what he's doing!

I do believe there are some slight hardware differences which is what I read. I'm guessing the kernel you posted tells it to emulate an e980 somehow with the hardware. Maybe do something a little different to behave like e980. I don't really know though, that's just my guess. But yes I'll totally give it a shot if you can give me source.

Is the Taco kernel a reference to the flashaholic thread?
I like Spartan kernel though...
I was thinking of something like the "Ignis" kernel. Ignis is Latin for flame. Or maybe "Phoenix" kernel.
Knock on/double tap to wake please
Just tried to add some governors. Picked them right off of another kernel... I also copied and pasted the kconfig, makefile, and cpufreq.h files hoping that it would be the same... didn't work. Haha, guess I'll try typing in the config stuff myself and see where that gets me.
Adding features is the most headache things haha.
The commits from other device's kernel always not so compatible with e980 kernel.
Even commits from similar device's kernel like oppo n1 or G Pad 8.3 i still can't sucessfully incorporate them.
Without knowledge of programming, hard to find out what's wrong in the code.......
BTW, i have compiled a TWRP which can mount/read/write to F2FS formatted sdcard. But it lack the ability to format the sdcard to F2FS, need to do it in linux.(i am not sharing it because it still have chance of recovery bootloop)

The commits from other device's kernel always not so compatible with e980 kernel.
Even commits from similar device's kernel like oppo n1 or G Pad 8.3 i still can't sucessfully incorporate them.
Without knowledge of programming, hard to find out what's wrong in the code.......
BTW, i have compiled a TWRP which can mount/read/write to F2FS formatted sdcard. But it lack the ability to format the sdcard to F2FS, need to do it in linux.(i am not sharing it because it still have chance of recovery bootloop)

Wow really? Damn I would have thought for sure HTC One kernels would have some similarity (Since we have identical processors).
Guess I'm learning C. I've actually made sense out of some of the programming already, but it's gonna be a ***** to get working. Thanks for the info though.
Good if you know programming language!
Waiting your kernel
But i will stay with stock lg for a while, haha.
Running this with acid and its running great, lost 2% between 11pm-6 in deepsleep:beer:

Is the Taco kernel a reference to the flashaholic thread?
I like Spartan kernel though...
I was thinking of something like the "Ignis" kernel. Ignis is Latin for flame. Or maybe "Phoenix" kernel.

** Note: This kernel is end-of-life and will no more be maintained. There will be no LineageOS 15.1 or newer kernel be available anymore **
Hi all,
some of you know me from the Samsung devices area, where I provide my kernels already for more than two years to Galaxy S3 and Note 10.1 users for all sort of platforms (Samsung, Cyanogenmod, Omnirom etc.)
Please note:
I am not heading to have as many features as possible implemented, this is not my design goal. If you are more into that, move on to other, good existing kernels. If you are searching for a good mix of improvements and new functions while not sacrificing stability, you are welcome here (see below the history section for more info).
Compatibility
Important: This kernel is only meant to be compatible with official Cyanogenmod / CyanogenOS and nothing else.
So when the kernel does not run on custom rom XYZ, do not even bother me with it or ask hundred times in the thread for compatibility.
I could not care less about it !!
Important notes
1) When using new anykernel concept Boeffla-Kernel: Flash stock kernel of rom first !
2) Do NOT use TWRP's function to root your device after a clean rom flash!!! The installed supersu version is not up to date and may cause a bootloop with latest COS/CMs kernels !!!
3) Make sure you flash the correct kernel version, depending on whether you use cm11s stock or genuine cm11, COS13.0, COS12.1, COS12.1.1 or genuine CM13 !!!
Also note: You have to use Boeffla-Config app which I provide on my homepage to tweak the kernel. 3rd party apps will not be able to unleash the full power of the kernel.
Saying that, the Boeffla-Sound app in Play Store is not designed to work on the OPO, neither was it developed by me, hence it will never work on the OPO ever. Boeffla-Config is the way to go here !!!
Support
First read the FAQ section on the Homepage !!!
Click here to learn about all possible kernel settings in the config app.
Click here to learn about using the config app.
I will refuse to give support if you do any undervolting and experience freezes or hot reboots.
I will also not provide any support if you do not use Boeffla-Config app to tweak the kernel, other 3rd party tweaking apps are known (and intended) to cause issues.
I will refuse to give support if you have xposed framework installed and reporting any kind of weird issues. My opinion to xposed it quite clear: too powerful for >90% of the users that just mess up their system with it.
Otherwise, you can get in touch with me via the support e-mail address: [email protected]
Please provide kernel version, rom version, a detailed issue description and ideally supporting screenshots or log files.

History and design targets
Basically I created my first Boeffla-Kernel in 2012 as there was no kernel for the Samsung Galaxy S3 around that had exactly the mix of functionalities that I wanted. I wanted to have full flexibility in undervolting and charge rates for instance, but did not like the sharpness and/or brightness tweaks many kernels have implemented as per default.
Hence, I began to create my own kernel after a while, adding all the features I like. This is the result of my work, which in the end I decided to share with you. I hope you like it as much as I do.
The objective of this kernel is to have a kernel for daily use. It does not aim for best battery life, or best smoothness or best benchmark scores. Also it does not aim to have the broadest feature set available everywhere.
It aims more for a good mix of all, not sacrificing stability and functionality in the end.
And - most important: It aims to stay quite close to stock !!!
These design targets are also valid for the OnePlus kernel here!!!
This said, I will definitely NEVER implement:
things I do personally not need
things I do not like
things that are in any way dangerous
anything which is highly experimental
custom hotplugging algorithms
a CAF based kernel
anything that requires upstreaming of kernel parts to a higher kernel major version
So do not even ask for it if it falls into the listed categories. Everything else I am happy to check and decide.
And: I do not really care about benchmark numbers, they say almost nothing as long as something is not completely wrong. Important for me is the feel-good factor.
I am also not interested in gaming at all, so never expect a gamer kernel. It will just not happen...
Compatibility
To reiterate it again: Flash the correct kernel depending on whether you are on stock cm11s or genuine cm11 !!!
Configuration of the kernel
To tweak and configure the kernel, manually load and install the app "Boeffla-Config V2" from the downloads section on www.boeffla.de.
You need at least version 2.1.48 or higher for the OnePlus One Boeffla Kernels.
Donation
If you like my work, feel free to donate: Donation-Link
If you donate at least 2,49 EUR (to be in line with the donation app prices on Google Play store), you will receive a personal donation code which unlocks some nice little comfort functions in Boeffla-Config V2 on top.

All sources can be found in my Github repository: http://github.com/andip71
Credits to developers
Of course, I had never been able to create all that by my own. So I want to give credits to the really good developers around, that have given me all the inspiration and from which I cherry picked lots of the implemented functionalities:
* ZaneZam
* Yank555
* Hardcore
* Chainfire
* AndreiLux
* Netarchy
* Gokhanmoral
* Simone201
* Mialwe
* Entropy512
* Faux
* Harunjo

* Ak
... I just hope I did not forget someone. If so, please let me know and I will add you of course.
Thanks to all of you for your great work !!!

Not in my plans as I have only one device. So the same goes as long time ago for the S3 and n8000.
One device = only the "official" firmware. This is still my golden rule of thumb
If enough people help me to get a second device, it would change of course.

I know.
But I loose features, and like for a daily driver phone to stay on the official firmware the vendor provides. That is my concept for more than 3 years now and I was always good with it.
So, no intention to change.
The question from other side is (although it is OT): What does CM provide me which CM11s does not have?
I am not missing anything, thats my point
It is not about invites, but paying another 300 bucks is not possible for me this year anymore (spent around 15 k€ for relocations, my car got stolen in February and so on... was an expensive year for me).

No, of course not.
This is technically impossible. There are things in Samsung that do not exist on this hardware (e.g. big parts of boeffla-sound).
And vice versa.
And some are not needed as they are included here by default (e.g. touch wake etc).
If you look carefully at the feature list, you can spot the differences
Andi
Pretty sure you can get the kernel to work with AnyKernel, but of course, when you do this, YMMV. Since it's designed to work best with CM11s, it might perform worse on other ROMs (and then there comes the complaints, bugs, issues, etc.). Besides, I don't see any need for any other ROMs than CM11s. It gives you everything you need.
ive used that kernel until last week on my s3, it was by far the best.
(boeffla sound was great)
hoping for a cm11 version sooner or later for the 1+1 :victory:
I have used your kernel on my s3 for along time, it's awesome! Very happy to see your work on OPO.
Just ask one question, I'm using f2fs with ak kernel on my OPO now, so does this kernel support f2fs filesystem? Cuz i didn't find it on your feature list..
sorry for my english

If you are using a custom rom that bases on OxygenOs, it might work. However, if it does not work, do not expect me to do tweak to make the kernel running with your favorite rom. I would not do it - my one and only reference is OxygenOs stock.
It is not supposed to be compatible to LineageOS, CM, HydrogenOS etc.

*** You want my support? Then stick to my rules ***
Guys, I am receiving more and more completely useless support requests in different threads. Useless because people provide nothing to be able to help, not even the minimal possible information they could give.
Hence, I will now remind anyone again on the support guide lines stated here:
http://boeffla.de/index.php/support/support
Also you need to ensure you follow the installation guide lines incl. trouble-shooting stated here:
http://boeffla.de/index.php/support/installation-how-to
And to cut a long story short: If you do not at least provide what I request in the support guide lines, I will IGNORE YOUR REQUESTS IN FUTURE.
Straight and simple. I have enough of people wasting my time just because they are too lazy to write details.
Period.
Also as a reminder:
you use xposed? -> no support, everything is your own issue
you use a custom rom and not the official stock or CM one? -> good luck, you are on your own
you undervolt or overclock? -> have fun, but without my support
Sorry, this might sound harsh (and it is meant to sound harsh), but you cannot imagine about how crappy support requests can be. Stating something does not work is just not enough.
Please consider that!!!

Hi all,
kernel is now officially released in version 1.0-beta1.
Download link, as always, on the kernel homepage.
Some notes again:
Make sure you have latest Boeffla-Config app running -> 2.02.03 !!!
This is the very very very first kernel version, so expect bugs or issues
Please be nice when you have an issue, this OP2 kernel costed me more grey hairs already than all other kernels I ever built together
Let the fun begin.

Sure, just for expectation management: Do not expect too much for the start now.
The msm8994 soc development is quite fresh, as well as the device.
So I am not really far where I want to be in future in terms of features etc.
But stuff will come over the time, as it was with the OPO kernels and the S5, S3, Tab 10.1 kernels etc.

But stuff will come over the time, as it was with the OPO kernels and the S5, S3, Tab 10.1 kernels etc.

That's definitely understandable and patience is key so there's no rush at all. Thanks for your hard work thus far!
I flashed it fine but there is no apk in the config V-2 download, its just a zip. am I missing something?

Absolutely.
For future projection, the functionalities should be pretty much what I have in my OPO and S5 kernels one day. This is my goal.

You need to download the app from here:

(note, it MUST be an apk. if you download a zip, your browser does not interpret the mime headers correctly and you might use another browser)
Save it on your phone, install it manually.

Is it possible (in future of course) to control more paramters of audio chip? (Like in your kernel for i9300 for example)

great... any possibility to add charging control to increase charging speed.. the only downside of this darn phone.. it feels like it takes for ever to charge... !!
