Hi
IMPORTANT: Before you continue reading!
At the moment this kernel is only for PrimoU devices
and NOT for PrimoC (CDMA) devices
IMPORTANT for CM users
If you want to use CM or a CM based ROM choose the correct kernel!
CM9 needs a different ramdisk.
With the permission from Adi_Pat I would like to announce my kernel build
All credits to this should go to Adi_Pat cause he did the hard work for
providing me with all I need. Therefore also the name has been
choosen to make this clearly visible.
This is just a first announcement.
I will upload the first image tonight
Principle #1:
Provide a kernel that is as close to stock as possible but provides
additional features that will improve functionality and/or performance
Some Q&A you might have
Q: what stands KISS for?
A: Keep It Simple, Stupid!
My aim is to provide a kernel that is 99.99% stock with just additional features
In the first build you will see
-OC (max 1.5)
-UV
-2 new goveners (lionheart, smartassV2)
-1 new scheduler (sio)
Q:will you provide a kernel with 2.0GHz?
A:No - since I want to provide a stable kernel and
my experiences showed that only using up to 1.5 is reliable
If you like to have higher frequencies you can
1) use Adi_Pats kernel
2) build your own kernel based on my changes and enable higher frequencies
Q:can I build my own kernel based on your changes?
A:sure. I will provide a patch file that can be applied on the original
sources provided from HTC
Q:how "close" is your kernel to stock?
A:actually if you dont use OC, UV and use govener=ondemand and
scheduler=deadline this IS stock kernel
Q:can you include feature "xy" in your build?
A:I will check and if it is not "against" principle #1 -Yes
Q:will you test your kernel builds?
A:yes. I will only provide images that have been tested to
1) boot without problems
2) have run through a basic test trying to include all important features
3) run some benchmarks to confirm that changes are not decreasing basic performance values
Q:how to install your kernel?
A:like titanium kernel
fastboot flash boot
regards
max
I provide a complete folder with all downloads
please look at the following "naming conventions" for selecting
the correct image for your ROM!
Images containing "OC-UV" will have presets
Images containing "CM9" are for CM9
Images containing "CM10" are for CM10
All others are for stock (sense) ROMs

im tested this kernel on the ROM myONEv works
kernel is very fast and stable.
best benchmark!
I'll try it once I got on my lappy

Thanks for a nice kernel. So far the OC/UV is working great fro me.
What is the best recommended governor for wake / sleep ?

Use only CPUFreq and use smartAssV2 as it has both sleep and wake freqs...UV -50 should be good!
Hi
Actually there are a lot of things that you can tweak in the goveners
using the sys interface to make them perform best under certain "preconditions"
You can read this here which I also posted in the Adi_Pat thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1369817
This will give you some great insights on this issue.
Also about the "decision" which govener to use a.s.o
Regarding UV:
As already writen above -50 should be safe all the time
-100 works for me if I limit it to max 1.2GHz but not higher
Then I sometimes have freezes e.g. runnung AnTuTu benchmark
I still have to play with the UV settings to find the optimal ones
Regards
max
Hi
ATTENTION!!!!
Dont use sio I/O scheduler at the moment!!!!
I just discovered some strange during testing.
Stay with deadline this is stock
Will keep you informed if sio is really the reason
If it is it will be removed in next build
regards
max
EDIT: Even intensive testing has not given me the proof that the
sio scheduler was the reason.
Running this kernel with stock rom, wil I still get FOTA updates from HTC?

AFAIK this has nothing to do with the kernel in the first place

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. This kernel works on Y or X rom?
A: Doesn't work with ROMs having different ramdisk or any derivates due to their irresponsibility of using a different ramdisk which needs patches that break stock rom users. Use a different rom and don't bother me.
3. 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.
4. How do I flash this?
A: Reading the OP, theres a reason why I added instructions on it.
5. What is a data loss? Did I just had one?
A: Data loss is simply having the connection cut for X periods of time, usually few seconds. Grey bars means the device is not connected to Google services for some weird reason, but you'll still have internet connection.
6. OP is arrogant, I'm gonna call the Internet Police?
A: Deal with it.

Oh,I'll rebase it in the next build then.
Thanks for pointing it.
Guys is media [video recording and playing] broken?
As said by luca.Just wanted to confirm if I need to change the base.
Maybe can anyone check on latest CM12 build.

Normal moto g or second generation?
And there isnt even franco kernel for this device lol so ofc you screw up.
If you indeed own a moto g 2nd gen (titan) and your are running latest cm12 nightly it is safe to flash this kernel.

Sent from my Moto G 2014 using XDA Free mobile app
I did not think the new governors nor Min Freq: 96000
Is there anyway to disable the cpu being clocked at 19000 whenever I touch the screen? It's a feature of CM12, however is there anyway to disable this? I tried putting off mpDecision through Faux123 but it still goes to 19000 even with intelliplug and the user defined option. Any help appreciated!

Neatkernel2.0 by gsstudios
This project is now no longer updated. I won't be using my sgs for a while.
It is compatible with all JB (4.1.2,4.2.2,4.3, 4.3.1) and KK (4.4.2, 4.4.4) ROMs based on AOKP and CM layout!
The Mission:
To continue giving support for the much loved kernel. New features and additions will be added to improve flexibility and speed to the already amazing kernel. My goal is to improve Neatkernel kernel as much as I can, without sacrificing stability.
DISCLAIMER:
ONLY FOR AOSP BASED ROMS
I'm not responsible for bricked devices or wrong version flashing
You are using this kernel at your own responsibility
——— !!!!!!!! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED !!!!!!!! ———
FEATURES:
- Linux kernel 3.0.101
- Double Recovery
- Swap SD card
- OC up to 1500mhz
- BLN & CM LED
- Compiled with Linaro 4.9.4
- Fast charge
- Vibration intensity
- Deep Idle
- Governor ondemand
- Governor intelliactive
- Governor OndemandX
- Governor lagfree
- Governor wheatley
- Governor smartassV2
- Governor lulzactive
- Governor conservative
- Governor interactive
- Governor interactiveX
- Governor SavagedZen
- Governor minmax
- Governor brazilianwax
- Governor adaptive
- Governor ondemand
- Governor userspace
- Governor powersave
- Governor lionheart
- Governor perfomance
- bfq I/O scheduler
- cfq I/O scheduler
- deadline I/O scheduler
- fifo I/O scheduler
- noop I/O scheduler
- row I/O scheduler
- sioplus I/O scheduler
- vr I/O scheduler
- zen I/O scheduler
- Fast Charge support
- SWAP support
SWAP SD
the hard way is to modify /system/.neatkernel/swapsd from "swapsd=0" to "swapsd=1" and you External Card Will Be use like internal.
delete /system/.neatkernel/swapsd will go back to stock storage status.
CWM Recovery is by default.
To boot in TWRP just hit any volume keys after vibrate to boot into TWRP recovery.
THINGS TO DO:
- Why don't you tell me what to do
THINGS I WILL NOT ADD:
Code:
- LZ4 Compression (Our Boot partition is way too small to support this)
- Useless CPU governors such as Userspace
- Colour tuning support (Unless someone helps me with this)
- Higher thermal limits (We all know what happens if we do this)
- Higher overclocking/Lower underclocking capabilities (So you want less stability and more SODs?)
- Synapse support (Stweaks is the only app that can fully support this kernel)
- Linux Kernel version updates (My skills need to improve first before taking on something this big)

ISSUES:
Sometimes Camera video recording and Gallery video playing do not starts from first attempt. Do not panic! It is not bug it is feature of CMA memory allocation! Close Camera or Gallery. Try again. - Fixed in build b002
If video playback is crashes with error then you need to flash standard CyanogenMod video libs. This error is due to you use bigmem libs from previous ROM or KERNEL.

I test most of these builds to make sure they are stable. There may be some cases where I might not test out a build before releasing it. Kernels marked with '(STABLE)' are safe for everyday use, but only take this as a indication.
Which version to get?
galaxysmtd = international i9000 variant - This is the main version I will be building for
captivatemtd = SGH-i897
galaxysbmtd = Samsung Galaxy S B
vibrantmtd = SGH-T959

Troubleshooting
(Probably one of the most detailed troubleshooting guides for kernels on XDA)
For general help, please use the Q&A thread
Q:How do I flash your kernel?
A: You flash kernels like flashing roms, except you don't have to factory reset your phone. If you can't flash the kernel for some reason, you can either flash philz recovery then flash the kernel OR you can just make your own kernel .tar file and flash via ODIN by following this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/development-derivatives/convert-kernel-zip-to-tar-t2994381
Q: Which kernel version build should I flash?
A: Flash the latest stable version if you want the most stable experience. Builds that have not been marked with 'Stable' are mostly stable, or haven't been tested enough to earn a stable tag. Either way, it's up to you which one you want to flash. Read the changelog for any important changes that might have occurred in a particular build.
Q: I get constant FCs after flashing your kernel!
A: Have you wiped your cache partition, dalvik cache and reset stweaks settings? If you've done all of these already, a logcat would be nice
Q: What is a TCP algorithm?
A: Congestion control strategies (or algorithms) are used by TCP, the data transmission protocol used by many Internet applications. The main goal of a TCP algorithm is to avoid sending more data than the network is capable of transmitting, that is, to avoid causing network congestion.
Q: Why not use XYZ toolchain?
A: See this post
Q: What is UBER?
A: After years of using different custom toolchains like Linaro and SaberMod, I found there were things I liked about both of them but also things that didn't sit quite as well with me. SaberMod always seemed to have UI lag (especially in scrolling) but opened apps well and Linaro always seemed to be buttery smooth but had terrible app opening speed. Linaro battery was also worse for me than SaberMod. After going back and forth between toolchains I finally had this epiphany! Why not just take all of the best parts of all toolchains and merge them into one? So I began bringing up my own toolchain from gnu.org. At first I patched in all of the AOSP toolchain pactches (much like how SaberMod did it originally however it is important that you realize that No! I did not copy and paste SaberMod into my source I'm simply stating that I used their idea of merging aosp into gnu.org) to my source. Then I went through and added all of the linaro patches that I could to the source. I also made sure that I had the very latest of every toolchain component. I then made very minimal changes to the aosp toolchain build folder to allow for building with these newer toolchain components and UBERTC was born!!! (Note: both Linaro and SaberMod both made lots of modifications to the toolchain build folder, UBERTC is the closest to the aosp build process)

Do you guys want UBER toolchain or Linaro toolchain for this kernel? If you want to know what I think, I think linaro will be better suited as for older devices, linaro usually performs better.
Kernel will be released sometime this week, hopefully by today, I will be able to upload.
There seems to be a problem with the Neatkernel script as the zip files are not being created properly. Will fix this issue soon.
Test builds are up, must be flashed using ODIN or heimdall. Won't be a 'official' release until I fix the zip issues.
regards, gsstudios
Update: All good now. Just renamed the zimage from the .tar file to boot.img, then it should be flashable in a zip file. This kernel is officially released now.
great work
many thanks
Next build will have CMA reverted. Bigmem is much more stable and reliable compared to CMA, but that means of course we get less ram. BFQ will now be able to be selected and Westwood is now the default TCP algorithm. I will decide whether to build with UBER toolchain later on the kernel development, right now the focus is on improving the stability of the kernel and porting new features.
regards, gsstudios.
Just flashed NeatKernel_galaxys_v2.0b002-[11-02]-[17-33].zip. Live OC is not supporting, Custom Voltages is not supporting... A lot of features from description of kernel are not supporting. Why it happened?

Just think of it as incomplete. I just don't have the time to work on the sgs anymore (need more time on my sgs 2 as this is my main device, main development device). Sorry I couldn't bring all promised features.
Regards, gsstudios
Update: OP updated. This will be the last post on this thread. Seems like a good time to close it.

Pls Read This before flashing:
You need ROM's default kernel before flashing this, as this kernel makes use of AnyKernel 2 by @osm0sis. Make sure you have it otherwise clean flash the kernel with the rom to avoid any issues.(At least dirty flash rom+kernel) Credits to @attack11 for some part of install script.Read FAQ's and changelogs in 2nd post.

FAQ
F.A.Q. - Read this before complaining!
1. My phone exploded, HELP!
A: I don't answer to problems without a log. The log file is in /proc/last_kmsg. Paste it on hastebin.com and link it on your post. Logcats are useless for Kernel purposes, don't bother posting them.
2. This kernel works on Y or X rom?
A: Works on all CM13 based roms. Not for stock roms!!
3. OMG BATTERY SUCKZ, ITZ DEAD IN 45 MINUTES, HELP!
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.
4. How do I flash this?
A: Read the OP, theres a reason why I added instructions on it.
5. What is a data loss? Did I just had one?
A: Data loss is simply having the connection cut for X periods of time, usually few seconds. Grey bars means the device is not connected to Google services for some weird reason, but you'll still have internet connection.
6. OP is arrogant, I'm gonna call the Internet Police?
A: Deal with it.[/QUOTE]
Info
Many thanks to showp1984 for this info
What is msm_mpdecision?
100% kernel based multi core decision! (should cpu1/2/3 be online or not?)
This is a special version modded by neobuddy Plus the idle frequency and some load thresholds have been adjusted by me.
Some Configuration:
startdelay = time until mpdecision starts doing it's magic (20000)
delay = time between checks (130)
pause = if something else plugs in the cpu, fall asleep for 10000ms (10 secs)
scroff_single_core = if the screen is off, don't plug in cpu1/2/3. Additionally: Unplug all cpus except cpu0 when screen is turned off (1)
enabled = enable(1) or disable(0) mpdecision. This does not affect scroff_single_core!
min_cpus = min cpus to be online, cannot be < 1. Default: 1
max_cpus = max cpus to be online, cannot be > 4. (if you set it to 2 and min_cpus to 1 you will basically have a dualcore) Default: 4
idle_freq = a value against that will be checked if a core +/- is requested. (600 MHz)
mpdecision's input event boost, aka project butter
This will boost your min cpu speed if you touch the screen or press a button and gives you full control.
In those events the min cpu freq will be risen to a predefined value on every online cpu. This boosts overall reaction times and smoothness a lot. (works similar to the qcom mpdecision binary)
So here's the surprise
Hello folks,
I am using my own optimised builds since initial phase of CM13. Rom and kernel are both build with Uber 5.2.1 and few more optimisations on the kernel (It's same like in the first post). The Uber Toolchain developer said due to new neon optimisations in Uber toolchains, the battery life has increased by 25%. Well using since a long time, I almost get 6hrs+ SOT(Ofcourse will vary with you) and a mindblowing performance. So I am going to provide weekly Uber CM13 builds with optimisations(It is somewhat close to pf-cm by Diamond Bond). The people interested, could use it , It will stay really close to CM and few picks here and there. I would really appreciate feedbacks I am using the build posted and it's really rock stable.
Download :-
All optimised buildshttps://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=44644
Installation :-
A clean wipe is mandatory.
Wipe cache,dalvik cache, system, data
Flash the zip
Flash gapps ( I use slim zero gapps)
Reboot, Enjoy!

Check #4th post for the Optimised cm13 builds, Really didn't feel like making a new thread..
Is it fully functional, Like Working mobile data , camera Themes Etc... Is there any way you can provide delta updates to ur rom instead of downloading the whole file.. I'm currently using cm 13 which has no Major issues as of now , so is this rom(dec 2 build) Recommend or should I wait for future builds ?
Thanks IA ��

Adapt, improve and evolve!
Info:
Guys I created this kernel to Moto G 2013 (Falcon/Peregrine) and Moto G 2014 (Titan/Thea) in other words MSM8226 Motorola SoC baseds to learn, adapt some "unstable and unsafe" things as well to give a new life to my device, the plan is to support all Android versions avaliable for our device, I plan to do a better kernel with time and help of the comunity. This kernel is a nightly I will do it when I have a freetime or LineageOS update their sources or I add new features, it aims to be a rich feature kernel and a "perfection balance" between battery life and performance, this can be a UNSTABLE kernel, my routine will be build,upload and test, so stay tuned! I am open to suggestions. This is a kernel that don't work out-of-the-box the objetive of this kernel is give power to the user.
This kernel DO NOT WORK WITH STOCK MOTOROLA/GOOGLE PLAY EDITION ROM or IDCRISIS or AOSPARADOX.

If you're on other kernel please at least DIRTY FLASH you ROM, thanks.
The kernel:
By recovery:
Using TWRP (Please use the latest one)
1. Put the zip at /sdcard > Reboot to recovery > Install > Chose the kernel zip > Confirm to flash > (optional) Wipe caches > Reboot.
or
By app:
2. Flash it using Flashify or similar app from Playstore.
The kernel scripts backup your current boot.img so if you want to restore just use Flashify or TWRP.
The Bootlogo:
Using TWRP (Please use the latest one)
1. Reboot to recovery > Install > Chose the bootlogo zip > Confirm to flash > Reboot and enjoy.
2. Flash it using Flashify or similar app from Playstore.
3. Extract the zip and on mfastboot (or just fastboot) enter this command: fastboot flash logo logo.bin
Recommendations/Tweaking
Gov Tuner a mod to tune govs based on profiles for better battery life, better performance, or a balance., I have added a lot of sound patchs but A.R.I.S.E. will blow your mind! so if you want a better sound on your Moto G I suggest you A.R.I.S.E the best one in my opinion or just Viper+Dolby. And the best of the best tweaks app LSpeed just download and select a profile from main screen and fell it! or tune it by yourself!
To tweak use Kernel Adiutor from Playstore (or XDA Link), the Kernel Adiutor-Mod (fork with more experimental features) at XDA or Synapse You will need this zip and download Synapse app from Playstore.

How to git and build
Setting up and building
Basics of GIT
- How to build my kernel:
Code:
export ARCH=arm
export SUBARCH=arm
export CROSS_COMPILE=/path/to/toolchain/bin/arm-eabi-
make mrproper (cleans config files)
make clean (cleans already builded files)
make falcon_defconfig (or you device_defconfig)
make menuconfig (if you want to tweak the config)
make (I use this too -o2 -j4 CONFIG_DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH=y CONFIG_NO_ERROR_ON_MISMATCH=y)
How to cherry pick commits
Basically to cherry pick a commit you have to have it source and branch, this is a simple how to do it
First of all you need to set your upstream since it is a fork of CM/LOS or STOCK source:
Code:
git remote add upstream linkingithub.git
For example
Code:
git remote add upstream https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_kernel_motorola_msm8226.git
so if you want to cherry pick a commit from me
Code:
git remote add bryanbytez mysourcelink.git
and after that you need to have my source locally but stay calm this wont mess you source
Code:
git fetch -all
To merge upstream changes (From CM/LOS or Motorola)
Code:
git merge upstream/cm-13.0
This will merge upstream cm branch cm-13.0 in your source code.

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2816715/branch-from-a-previous-commit-using-git (Unlike me you can just revert or create another branch based on the commit and not delete the whole source code )
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4410091/github-import-upstream-branch-into-fork (Import a upstream branch on your fork)
And to revert a git: git revert sha1, example git revert eab5c8fef098548f0f00085196bbf40f41bf8ba1

Did you enabled on KA? It give some error? Which kernel DT2W worked? Which is you display? check note section in OP, please. I used the same "formula" for falcon,peregrine and titan/thea but maybe this last need some special atention.
Thanks.

I've used ex kernel manager, i don't think the problem is on the software side. In marshmallow kernel dt2w worked, is not a fault of yours, i think is nougat
In devolution kernel is not working too
When i try to unlock screen i had a soft reboot

Well sound like that is not supported, in MM you used evolution kernel? Can you grab the output of cat /proc/cmdline in terminal? Thanks!

I'm just asking because I don't own a Titan/Thea/Peregrine but since it have the same SoC same features should work in all.
BTW you can test in a MM?

So basically any kernel that have DT2W is not working on N right?
Can you grab me a dmsg and lastkmsg? Maybe I can debug it.
Thanks!

Can you say something about the general performance and stability? Does CPU overclocking work without overheating or other issues?
Sent from my Moto G 2014 using XDA Labs
Here You are thanks for working on titan too!
I'm on RR MM at the moment, when trying dt2w/s2w my phone reboots.

General performance is great, i'm using interactive with alucard at maximum 1401mhz, never faced overheating issues :good:

Does OC actually work?
Other developers have tried it before, and realized it was a placebo soon after.
Kernel working great!
But one thing, if I select Dt2w/S2w from kernel auditor.. After that, the device got reboot automatically & settings are changed itself to default settings n kernel auditor..
So pls, implement/improve/repair Dt2w features..

I use Conservative governor, no heating problems.
DT2W crashes/reboots device. I would not bother with DT2W, it just drains battery.
