[KERNEL][3.4.107][AOSP/CM][GCC5.0]Spirit.Kernel r13[21/4/2015]

Spirit Kernel
This kernel is ONLY for AOSP based ROMs. This will NOT work on the stock Moto roms.
I will update this regularly as I have time and will add new features and fixes as well.
If you have any feature requests or ideas that haven't been seen before, don't hesitate to post it here!!​
PLEASE READ
How to report a bug?
Include the following in your bug report:
The ROM you are currently using + a link to the ROM's thread
A log, preferably dmesgs or kmsgs (use Google to find out how to pull these from your device)
The version of SpiritKernel you use (=rx, e.g.r3)
Bug reports not meeting these requirements will be ignored.
NO BUG REPORTS ON EXPERIMENTAL BUILDS!​

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.

For me, sometimes it works, but then other times won't.

In blisspop video works for a day...then well i moved to stock 4.4.4 for some testing and optimisation on it btw i'm on xt1068

Hello Guys,
After working off to a new base fixed everything in the new 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.

What
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!
Thanks,

Aren't hotplugs like MSM hotplug, bricked hotplug etc. meant for qcom quad core/krait CPUs? I'm not sure how they'd behave on big.LITTLE. Even the governors, I'm not sure they are adapted to big.LITTLE.... could you shed some light on it? Also, your commit history looks like a kang job.... you should clear that out.

Just tried it and now my phone is rebooting every 30 seconds, clearly there are some problems.
Even flashing other kernels or the stock one from cm 12.1 isn't working ( I also restored the libs ), I had to flash the rom again with a full wipe, sorry but had no time to make a logcat.

It looks like kanged only because I manually committed changes from Yu Yreka's custom kernel source... Because I'm having slow Internet connection. Credits are given in the thread.. I think hotplug is working...

Tbh cherry-picking commits doesn't need a fast internet connection. (I myself have picked commits on a 512 kbps internet) and credits need to be given in the commit, otherwise it counts as a "kang".
Also, credits for bricked hotplug and alucard hotplug etc. haven't been given even in the thread.

Pardon me.. I will fix it give me some time

[KERNEL][JB/KK][UNOFFICIAL][LINARO]Neatkernel 2.0

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)

And for the original Neatkernel source:
https://github.com/mohammad92/NeatKernel_captivate
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.

Downloads
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
MAKE SURE YOU'RE DOWNLOADING THE RIGHT KERNEL. OTHERWISE YOU COULD BRICK YOUR DEVICE!

Beta builds and stable builds will only be uploaded on AFH and github.

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?

It will be great if you port this kernel to ICS.

may I know the ram for this kernel ? thanks

Due to the lack of activity on my i9000, I have decided to abandon this project and will no longer give updates to this kernel. The thread will remain open until it becomes unused.

OK. But you must to delete your feature list, cause it is fake most of all, unfortunately.

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.

don't dirty Flash my kernel on any other custom kernel , if you are coming from another custom kernel , first flash your Rom's stock kernel through Fastboot , then Flash my kernel.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
these are my kernel settings , you can use them in case you can't use spectrum.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
never post problems without full details of what setup you are using, it's not possible to help that way.
Provide me some logs:
- ADB logcat dump
- /sys/fs/pstore contents
- dmesg dump
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Only use EAS builds alongside EAS supported roms..
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
if you think your battery life is not good enough , use betterbatterystats and find the battery drain causes..

v1.0 :
initial release

a bout EAS :
EAS stands for Energy Aware Scheduling , where the whole governor settings + HMP Settings are replaced by one system relying on "scheduler hints" from specifically modded low-level files including specially modded libs and framework patches.EAS aims to achieve better battery through lowering the product of V * I by altering the voltage along with the frequency dynamically based on loads calculation and the frequency used and many other variables.
EAS will set the core > Frequency > voltage per task. If the scheduler decided that a task needs a higher freq then it supplies that before the task is placed on a core.
Also the great thing about EAS (When tuned and setup properly) is that it is setup to not overshoot and overpower task workload.
Unlike our standard governor like interactive that does sampling and cpu-boost. These both can overshoot the performance needs pf the current workload thus leading to energy loss.
in short : EAS is all about setting the stune groups and the cpusets and using a sched -or schedutil- governor. There has to be an energy model for the SoC so that there is proper energy costs calculation made
*Energy models are the voltage/frequency*

Nice to see this kernel for mi5.
It Should work with Aosp (extended)? It uses schedutil governor by default.
And.does.it have oc.for 32gb version?

yes , it works on AEX. ( on EAS build , schedutil is the default Gov )
OC is available for all variants.

The hmp version also got EAS? Sorry if it's a low question.

Eas works good with Pure Fusion, spectrum balanced mode so far so good.

Stock one. I didnt touch it yet.
I hope doing these progressively. I found difficult to debug if adding massive features or patches at once.

This is stable .

Camera should work fine in my released version.

They are buggy in CAF-merged branches.
The stock rom is not fully capable with updated CAF patches.

Because camera works for me in either r1 and r2.

Thank's for answer !!, i'm using kernel adiutor and let me play with some parameters of the screen, but i'm looking for more bright, so is possible to "overwrite" the settings to let the brightness go higher?
