Removed ondemand and conservative cpu governors (not suitable for big.LITTLE)
Reworked CPU oc/uc support to 403/499mhz levels (anything more lower shall yield no real benefit)
Updated spectrum profiles
7.0 Stock Release 1:
Some kernels have different workarounds for modules, therefore, it is recommended to flash 7.0 kernel only over your stock rom kernel. Don't flash over any other custom kernels. This is to avoid any issues with important modules such as wlan (wifi). Subsequent releases can be flashed over the same kernel's older version.
Based on NPJS25.93-14-15 sources by Motorola
Properly up-streamed up to Linux stable 3.10.108
Updated wifi/wlan drivers from latest 7.0 sources from CAF
Added all features mentioned in 1st post. (list updated in op)
Applicable updates from r7 oreo changelog were also merged.
June 14, v6.2:
Fixed mobile hotspot for both 32/64 bit
Removed conservative cpu governor
Switched too GCC 4.9 (Higher GCC versions are causing issues with data, wifi and hotspot as witnessed by some users)
Final update to katnap governor
NOTE: Since v6, I recommend using default kernel settings for CPU, GPU, clock speeds and governor profiles rest you can change. Why? read the explanation below properly...
v6 release came with spectrum app support which allows to switch between various user modes which are - Gaming, Battery, Balanced (default) and Performance. Thanks to frap129 a.k.a Joe Maples for spectrum. You can use the spectrum app to switch between various modes as per your needs with just a single tap.
For e.g. before starting a game just switch to "Gaming" mode from spectrum app to improve the game-play. After game-play is over don't forget to switch back to "Balanced" mode which is also the default. You can also choose "Battery" mode when you keep your device idle for maximum savings. If you prefer smooth user experience without worrying about battery then "Performance" mode is for you.
Both "Performance" and "Gaming" modes are battery hungry but will improve the user and gaming experience respectively so use them accordingly. Similarly don't expect great performance or smooth user experience from "Battery" mode.
"Balanced" mode is self-explanatory.
No support from my side if you're using some kind of mods that might conflict with above mentioned kernel settings. Fair enough! don't need any false reports where the problem might be because of any such mod.
Might be bitter but had to say this, don't bother reporting problems if you can't do it properly. Haven't seen a single post reporting wlan issues with logs and surprisingly I'am not a god who can guess issues from nothing. XDA is a community where users shall also contribute to make things better. Just coming here and searching for download links then complaining about stuff not working... it doesn't work this way. We don't expect much from users, we only want that if we're putting some efforts then users should also take at least some effort to give proper bug reports and feedback. For someone who doesn't know how to take logs etc. try google, you'll find tons of guides over internet and here at XDA itself. Thank you.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
June 10, Release v6.1:

May 04, Release v5.1:
Note: Sources moved to github.
Merged updates from NPJS25.93-14-15 (Feb, 2018) moto kernel sources,
Merged updates for wlan prima driver to bring in-line with latest CAF tag LA.BR.1.3.7-05010-8976.0,
Switch back to single build for 64bits. Made compatible with all roms,
Few kernel-common updates.
April 28, Release v5:
32-bit support added!
Changes merged from CAF branch (1.3.6) and Google kernel-common
Removed CRC enable/disable toggle - We know we want CRC disabled by default to avoid ~30% performance cost. So, it doesn't make sense to have a toggle for it as users may unknowingly enable it which defeats the whole purpose of disabling it by default in the first place.
Enable 320k AAC encoding
Tuned CFQ i/o scheduler
Added touchboost which is disabled by default. Enabling it will significantly improve the performance at the cost of battery life. This feature can be enabled using kernel manager (EX kernel manager recommended)
Replaced wakeup boost with Fingerprint Boost driver.
Removed boot and boostpulse sysfs nodes from interactive governor. Neither we were using it nor it is needed, users can enable cpu-boost if needed.
Updates wlan prima (wifi) driver to latest CAF tag LA.BR.1.3.7-04410-8976.0
Using cpu_relaxed_read_long and defining relaxed version of some arm64 specific macros, and functions to improve power efficiency. (this one is only for arm64)
Some cpu-boost code clean-up. Removed migration related boost from cpu-boost. Handled by scheduler and governor now.
Added display state awareness to msm_adreno_tz gpu governor. This aids adreno_idler by reducing the overhead.
Backlight dimmer toggle (disabled, enabling this would allow to lower brightness even more)
Apr 05, Release v4.1:
Restore default gpu clocks
Sdcardfs space leak fixed,
Updates merged from google android kernel-common,
Enabled ARCH_POWER and added toggle to enable/disable the same through EX Kernel Manager,
Nuked gentle fair sleeper toggle and re-enabled gfs. Disabling it was causing cores getting stuck at max freq for most of the time,
Added wake-up boost to avoid or atleast minimise any potential wake-up delays. I've personally never faced this on Oreo but some people reported it recently,
Added some more potential wakelocks in Boeffla wakelock blocker driver,
Wlan driver updates merged from latest caf release LA.BR.1.3.7_rb1.11,
Some efforts towards improving memory management a bit.
03 March 2018, Release 4:
Added new boeffla wakelock block driver,
Added wireguard support,
Added adreno idler - ramp down GPU on idle,
Reverted stuff: zen-interactive, frandom, hid,

You can configure that using kernel manager.
Alternative option is to use button mapper app by flar2.

i have a lag after flash this kernel. but thank you

When I play a song or a video the sound is crashing, something like cutting, I give u a log and thanks for the effort

Turbo charger doesn't work for me charges very slowly and phone heats up quickly! Any work around with kernel auditor?
I'll flash version 2 and let you know if anything changes

Not released use the attached zip for nougat it is stabler than 9.1 but not updated in the directory. Features are more or less same.

For xt1625 users after flashing updated loony my phone hangs at unlocked bootloader warning for minutes. All you need to do is power and volume down boot into fast or bootloader mode whatever you call it and choose start again loads fine after that.
To add HDR is probably not going to ever work with xt1625 that's were the devices are different the plus has a 16 mp camera and I got a 13 mp I've got the camera to work but no HDR option like on my nexus.

FAQ / Common Issues / Bug Reporting
F.A.Q's
What makes this different from Optimized CM12.1 or CM12.1 Nightlies?
The CM nightlies are the baseline that provides a fast and clean experience. Optimized CM and my SaberMod CM try to take that even further by applying our optimizations to the source code. The difference between Optimized and SaberMod is that the JDCTeam strives to provide the best, polished experience for the Galaxy S4 whereas I’m an enthusiast turning this ROM into a collection of commits and features that I find interesting that I share for you guys.
What is SaberMod?
The SaberMod team provides Android optimized toolchains and ROM optimizations. Their toolchains are based on Google’s and cherry-pick from GNU. They also offer modular optimizations that speed the Android system even further.
Why don’t you use JustArchi’s build optimizations?
The SaberMod optimizations fulfill nearly the same optimizations with a different approach. It’s redundant to include them both.
XXX Doesn’t work for me?
I have the T-Mobile variant SGH-M919 as my daily driver, so I cannot cover every aspect of the ROM. I test enough so that I can run SaberMod CM as a daily driver, but our usage patterns may vary.
Common Issues
How do I enable Developer Options?
Settings > About Phone > Tap “Build Number” multiple times.
How do I remove the “ # “ icon from the statusbar?
You could flash SuperSU as with other ROMs, or you can turn it off in the Settings. Settings > Status Bar > Superuser indicator
*Note: A System UI FC may occur sometime after setting this, this is normal and will only happen once.
Bluetooth share keeps crashing / Bluetooth won’t turn on
Reboot your phone. Once the ROM boots up, wait for Bluetooth to automatically turn on. Make sure you turn it off, or else it will silently crash until you repeat this process.
I don’t have superuser/root
Enable Developer Options and enable Root Access from this menu. Changes in CM make it so that I can’t set root to default, so you have to set this after every clean flash.
I can’t install the ViPER4Android driver!
Temporarily set the kernel to "Permissive" through ADB shell or the local terminal (Enable in Dev Options)
su
setenforce 0
Proceed with V4A driver installation
Audio/Notification lag
If undervolted, try raising voltages
If underclocked, step up the lowest clock frequency
WhatsApp audio lags
There are some errors with the S4 and CM based ROMs due to our audio driver
Bookmark sync will ask for you to sign in
Go into Settings > Account > your gmail account that you want to sync with the Browser and your Bookmarks and switch the Browser toggle until sync errors go away. Reboot to remove the statusbar notification. The Bookmark sync wasn’t intended for Android 4.4+ so that’s why there are issues.
I can’t power on from power off while charging
It’s a known issue. Just unplug, wait for the battery icon to disappear then hold power to boot. Then you can charge once the phone is booting.
How to ask for help / Bug Reporting
Here are some steps to reporting bugs. You must follow these steps to streamline the help process, and it may lead you to finding the solution.
I will eventually ask all of these questions regardless, so let’s save a post or two:
Did you verify the MD5sum of all packages you flashed?
What ROM are you coming from?
Coming from a previous SaberMod CM release did you try wiping /system?
Coming from a different ROM did you fully wipe /system, /data and /cache?
What else did you flash? What modifications do you have?
Xposed: I do not support Xposed or any of it’s modules.
Specify a custom kernels:
Check if your problem persists within the kernel thread, then come here
It’s possible that kernels older than the current SaberMod CM build has some incompatibilities
Other system modifications must be specified
Have you searched the thread? There’s a high possibility that a problem you have in the ROM is being discussed in the latest pages of the thread
Is it in the bugs list? It may be a known problem
If it's an issue no one has reported:
Can you recreate the issue? Try to be as detailed as possible so I can recreate it.
ex. I can't play mp3s in Play Music but I can in PowerAmp
Make a logcat!
Know how to recreate the problem
Acquire software to make a logcat (ADB/CatLog on the playstore)
Do a fresh boot
Begin a logcat via "adb logcat"/start a Catlog
Let the phone settle for a bit
Create the issue
ex. Play a song that will FC/Go to an app that FCs
Stop the logcat
Send it to me over PM/Post with details on what you did

Thanks.. I will try this out

I'd like to thank the 37 people who have downloaded the ROM so far! Your opinions and thoughts are greatly welcomed here.
I'm getting a build ready for tomorrow with 3 new changes:
Tuned in-call and speaker volumes
Dynamic Kernel Tweaker shortcut in Settings App that replaces Performance Settings!
Rebuilt with cortex-a15 flags for a little performance boost
I'm doing a clean build tonight with the new build flag, so I'm hoping to give you guys something tomorrow. I've spent all day working on the Dynamic Kernel Tweaking shortcut in the Settings menu (You can check my github to find the mess in trying to get it right) but I'm very very happy to say that it's finally complete.
For the not-yet convinced on this ROM, it's just CM11 with a few additions which I will highlight in this video:

Thanks for the rom Synergy510

I think you undersell yourself.
I am downloading this rom and looking forward to its performance.
You have the passion to make something better.
You have learned new skills in the process.
You are now a developer.

Thank you so much. I really wanted to get the most out of the S4. It's going to last me until the S8
And regarding your external SD. Did you do a full wipe or did you flash over a previous ROM? What app are you using?

Which CM Version or nightly is this Rom based off?

Must say it is a pretty fast ROM. I'm using for a few hours now and I'm quite happy with it :> Although the rom is great, there's one thing that pisses me off - when I pull down the notification bar, it shows me quick settings, not notifications coming (as it's made in other roms, that have quick settings pulled down by two fingers). I understand when there's no notifications it could shows quick settings but not now lol.

I did try to implement Smart Pulldown for the notifications, so the logic should be that if there are no notifications, pulling the notification bar anywhere would result in going straight to the quick settings. I know for me Smart Pulldown isn't always as stable as it should be. Do you pull down on the notification bar as soon as the notification comes in? And could you give me an example of where this happens

Let's say you get a notification. SMS from a friend, missed call or anything. You want to see who you got that from. Easiest way? Pull down the notification bar to see what is going on. Surprise! The ROM showed you quick settings instead of notifications.
Did you get what I mean?
#Edit
I do not pull down the notification bar as soon as the notification comes in. Usually I check phone like a few times for an hour. Take the phone out of my pocket to see if there are any notifications, pull down the notification bar and boom I get quick settings :<

Just tested it and it runs really fast and smooth.
No Problems so far but I couldn't test it any further cos I experienced the same with the SD Card and all my apps and themes and backup stuff are there.
The SD Card doesn't show up in the system. I'm using FX file Explorer with Root Addon.
It was a clean install with full wipe and Dalvik\Cache wipe after install with banks minimal gapps.
But man when I say the Rom is fast I really mean it.

I dont have any problemen with my SD card. I have installed the first rom

When pulling down goes to the wrong menu, it usually happens to me right when the notification comes in. I've been trying to pulldown to see if it gets it wrong, but I'm not getting anything. Did you try messing with the settings? Try to re-apply the setting for Quick and Smart pulldowns and see if that helps.

Thank you, I was hoping it would be fast.
I downloaded FX File explorer and I can see my SD card perfectly. Can you try going into Settings > Storage and seeing if you can see your SD card from there? If you can't, I think I know what could be wrong with yours. Do you happen to know what format your SD card is in? exFat, Fat32... etc If it is exFat, then that's why and I need to apply some patches for you in the next build

Hello everyone, my latest build is available for download.
Build 08/14/2014:
Tuned in-call and speaker volumes
Updated Alucard kernel to 2.7.0d
Added cortex-a15 flags to build for a little performance boost
Added Dynamic Kernel Tweaker shortcuts in the Settings Menu! http://imgur.com/gEeUhU9
I would really appreciate if someone with an S-view cover would test to see if it works! Also any feedback, good or bad is welcomed!

Hi Syn,
S View hasn't worked for me. The ROM has not presented any sign that the S View cover was there. So I have uninstalled your ROM as S View is a key funcionality for me.
Anyway, this is fine work! Keep it up, i'm sure you'll sort out the s view issue. I'll be around checking your progress. Thanks! :good:

FAQ
FAQ
This kernel does not have X, Y or Z feature. Please add it !
No such requests shall be entertained.
For this device the closer to stock we are, the better it is. Hence no need for "fancy" useless features/tweaks. The main aim of halogen is to bring performance without compromising stability & battery. And that is what I intend to do.
AND if you really want this or that feature which is not there in halogen, please feel free to compile your own builds.
Oh no ! I encountered a BUG !
Upload the file named last_kmsg that located in /proc/last_kmsg. It contains kernel logs. Clearly state the bug / what you experienced along with your current kernel settings. Bug reports without logs will be ignored.
Recommneded settings ?
Halogen is pre-configured for best. For custom settings please google, do some research and you are encouraged to post your own settings in this forum. You can start here.
My battery drained overnight !! Look at these screenshots...
Not a halogen fault. The kernel does not “drain” battery. On Android devices, the kernel provides a mechanism for keeping the phone awake, called a wakelock. Processes running on the device (e.g. apps and services) can ask the kernel for a wakelock, and the kernel will oblige. So yes, the kernel is technically keeping the phone awake, but only because an app or service has asked it to. It is these apps and services that are misbehaving and causing drain, not the kernel. Doze mode, introduced in Android Marshmallow, is designed to limit the time that apps and services can wake up the device.
All thanks to @flar2 for his excellent post.

Wow,
What is better setting for this Kernel ?

There is not much to set in this kernel at present. Leave it as it is. Tweak sound to your hearts desire !

What governors & I/O schedulers are already included? Just the "basic" AOSP kernel ones for now?

Yes...
But updates will come soon !!!

You simply did it! Thank you so much!
There is a long way to go but I hope you can add more stuff, not forgetting the DoupleTap to wake up the screen

Testing

NEW BUILD IS UP !!!
[ 12 June, 2015. Version --> R2 ]
New features added :-
** 14 new cpu govs added !!!(check changelog for their names) **
** New I/O schedulers added (added tripndroid) **
** New TCP Congestions added **
** Stereo call recording **
and MUCH, much more......................CHECK CHANGELOG.
Did you know ? :-
With the release of R2, Halogen Kernel becomes the ONLY kernel with maximum number of cpu govs !!! (among all kernels for stock/cm of titan/falcon).
This kernel has around 20 cpu govs !!!
NOTE :-
Try reading this guide by @gsstudios before selecting out among the many CPU Govs.
E _N_J_O_Y !!!

there is something terribly wrong... at boot maximum cpu frequency is set to 384MHz, this give terribly long boot time, stuttery bootanimation and longer time for apps optimization after a rom update
EDIT: temporarily solved with an init.d script, here it is if someone has the same problem https://www.dropbox.com/s/qmcdlljjj0klzaf/cpufreq.zip?dl=0

Even I had been facing the bug...BUT I fixed it out and the BUG IS NO MORE !!!
I will be soon releasing the update ! The problem was with some improperly adapted CPU governors which limited the max cpu freq to 384 at boot. I have removed them and now the cpu clocks @ 11190 during boot.
I appreciate your work with the script. Its good, and I hope you will keep supporting my kernel in the future.
 @ktulu84

Available RAM is less than stock CM12.1 kernel - ~900 MB vs ~860 MB. Pretty sure you're already aware of it, but thought I'd highlight it anyway just in case.
Sent from my Moto G 2014 using Tapatalk

Is the kernel stable? i'm using cm12.1 for daily use and some of the kernels i've tried always gave me the problem where the logcat is spammed with something liek "failed to acquire lock" everytime i touched the screen, can someone report?

Yes I m aware... It will be improved in future versions.
However it does not matter much, Linux handles memory in a different way and will release appropriate ram when required. What really matters is whether you are getting a smooth experience or not.

Yes, there are changes in that. As the OP said, it depends on the kernel. Since our device has 1024MB RAM, the remaining RAM gets allocated to Graphics, audio processing, etc. If you are familiar with it, its very similar to Intel & AMD's allocation of RAM to Graphic memory in computers.

I need exposed. and 4.x.x is still bugged. in beta state. i will move to it after some time, it's the only way
But for now i enjoy this monster device with super stable ROM. why to search for problems?
Many think as me. and not all moved to 7.x you will see

I am just flashing stock 3.5.4 because of your kernel <3 thanks for bringing it here .

Really happy to see you here with your awesome work. My g2 is still running your Kernel like a champ.
Welcome
Sent from my OnePlus 3T using XDA Labs

the good old days with the g2....
glad to see you here
thanks and good luck.
also with MM 3.5.3 as i need xposed.
Sent from my ONEPLUS A3010 using XDA-Developers Legacy app

The hero is here.

Welcome master, glad to see long awaited punch, thanks for supporting 3t :fingers-crossed:

Can I flash it over stock 3.5.3?

Appreciate the MM support!!!!

Also follow the master from G2 to 3T
Just downgrade my 3t from nougat for xposed and this kernel jumped out!
Thanks master Dori for this great kernel, everything runs very well for now.
only thing I noticed is that button led can't turn off now?
The most stable 0.1 version I've seen
btw can I format cache to F2FS with this kernel? or does that make any sense?
Thanks again.

Been very pleased with your kernel in G2 days, I'm sure this one also live up to expectation... Unfortunately I'm using N now, so I'll keep on watching until Xposed for N is released... Keep up the good work! :good:

Here we are......

Woow! I've used your kernel on my G2 days. Gonna try this out on the weekend. thanks dori!

I noticed that button led can't turn off now also.

Introduction
Buying Mi 5 gave me opportunity to spread wings and maintain a (hopefully) better version of Linux kernel for this device.
The idea is to provide two levels of modification, one - the most up-to-date kernel upstreamed with official Linux changes (also Android) repo to provide bug-free and stable experience, second - tweaks and additional features placed in top of upstreamed version to give blazing efficiency and battery friendly experience.
I came with the idea while looking onto linux repo - there are so many fixes and optimizations done to the code which gonna never come up to any Android device. So why not to try and pick some of these changes?
Android device is one of many for which Linux kernel is developed. Adding hardware specific changes will give extra performance and battery backup as it's going to use the phone architecture better instead of generic implementation.

Compatibility
It is LOS forked repo so any LOS-based ROM should be compatible (not MIUI compatible).
Do not use it with any custom ROM or additional modifications as I'm not supporting them (and will not).
Of course, you can try flashing, if it works - enjoy.
Downloads
You can use 'Download' tab in the top or download from AFH .
Installation:
- download kernel zip and necessarily check MD5!
- boot into recovery
- flash the zip (always flash on clean ROM!!)
- (optionally you can wipe cache/dalvik)
- reboot to the system and taste the madnesss

Before you exit:
Don't get dishearten because of 'poor' features list. Main advantage of this kernel is upstream of many parts. Changes in Soda are chosen wisely, I implement thinks that are supposed to benefit. You don't need XYZ, you need Soda
Known issues:
Upstream:
None
Soda:
- Battery idle drain (investigation in progress)
- Speaker gain is broken
FAQ:
Could you add XYZ feature?
I will not add features I personally think are useless or unneeded. I can only promise I'll take it into consideration. If you're so single-minded about that just fork repo and pull request - I'll pick it gladly.
Could you upstream XYZ?
Ok, upstreaming is nice unless you fall into conflicts or totally new code structure. Don't expect me to update the kernel up to 4.13, haha! I'll keep in mind what you're asking me for, but if you're so desperate about this I'm waiting for pull request .
Why should I choose yours upstreamed version?
Don't expect it to change your Mi 5 into S7 edge =)
Think about like that - some time ago Google forked Linux kernel at version 3.18.31 and added their changes, then Qualcomm forked it and added their changes, then Xiaomi forked and added their changes. There are a lot of bugs, memory leaks and other bad stuff in here and probably nobody will take care about it... Oooch, except me! My aim is to keep the code as most up-to-date as possible - so without rewriting a half of proprietary drivers.
Does it make any sense?
In my opinion - yes.
Our phone will be more stable, not vulnerable to newest 0-days and hopefully a bit faster and battery friendlier. The key is bug-free optimized code; magical tweaks do not always take the first place in making a kernel better. As of my experience using upstreamed version gives more battery and smoothness!
"My phone freezees help meeee!!!!!!!11oneoneone..."
Description, logcat, kmesg or GTFO.
Could your changes damage my device?
I don't take any responsibility for broken devices, firing from work or nuclear wars. It's a hobby project maintained in my free time. I carefully pick up changes not to mess up anything and add features that are checked and provided to work correctly. There is a small range of cases when you can loose your phone completely, typically it will just freeze and reboot.
Where is version for MIUI and EAS?
MIUI won't be supported because Xiaomi haven't updated their repo for a long time. Building for MIUI would bring more problems than advantages.
EAS is in testing stage and will be released soon.
Remember to hit like button if you like my work as it motivates me a lot!
Play with it and post your experience please
Firmware:
Now I'm also providing updated firmware flashables.
You can easily download firmware packages from AFH .
Happy flashing!

How to tweak my kernel:
1. Charge control:
Path of all tunables is
Code:
/sys/kernel/fast_charge
You have 3 tunables as follows:
maximum_qc_current (DEFAULT: 2800) - it's very important one, its value controls QC3.0 charging current. Recently there are commons problems with screens and the assumption is that too high current causes that problem. Lowering the value would also make your battery's life longer!
force_fast_charge (DEFAULT: 0) - it's common known knob to force 900mA charging on unknown sources. I tweaked it a bit and now, if it's possible, driver will choose higher values depending on the source.
charge_limit (DEFAULT: 100) - it's very interesting one, its value controls maximum percentage of which your battery will be charged. After given limit charging will be stopped. Lowering this value could benefit in prolonged battery life as capacity wouldn't decrease that fast. Scientific researches recommend charging your battery to 80%.
3.Sound control:
You can tweak it using Kernel Adiutor.
4.Sched features:
I would like to resolve doubts connected with Arch Power. On kernel v3.18 there isn't such a feature. Cherry-picking old interface doesn't change anything in fair scheduler, the only thing you see is magic switch which does... nothing. Our kernel has feature named Arch Capacity which is *let's say* correspondent to previous one so I created two tunables - arch_capacity and arch_power. These are mirrored values so now you can enable/disable it in KA as known Arch Power but please remember that you're changing arch_capacity in fact.
My recommendation is to disable Gentle Fair Sleepers because you can save battery a bit.
You can also tweak it using Kernel Adiutor.

miui support please...

Aosp support ?

Did you add somes cpu governor ? And for you which its the best to have a better battery

Aleluya! Not much kernel variety on our mi 5, pretty thanks I will test it early dev
cheers

Download link (I've found it, but it would be better in the description)? Governors? SOT?

Great news Sir,
I hope soon we could have good costum kernel with great stability and compability with newer rom.
I wish you could support AOSP based rom too

I just started Soda developing so you have to wait sometime for custom tweaks.
According to governors I think the most important thing is to configure it nicely, sth like AKT or GovTuner does. Stock interactive is good.

AFAIK AOSP is based on LOS sources, it should work correctly

But some time it doesn't work properly on AOSP based rom, I used DragonXia as default kernel on every rom I flashed, but lately with latest release rom it's doesn't stable.
I hope you could made manually setting on/off the CPU core for better battery life, as hotplugging not save much battery life.
Overclocking was great too
I will test yours beta kernel right now Sir

CPU 0 and CPU 1 are stuck at 1593MHz.
Edit:
It seems like a restart solved it.
Edit2:
setting io scheduler to noop causes freeze.

Try typing in terminal/adb:

If it says noop it's working...

Yes it's working now. The test-iosched scheduler caused the problem.

will you add miui 9 support? miui lack of custom kernel support. thanks for dev gemini kernel.

which features does it have? quick charge? eas ?

"disabled CPU Boost" this is real great, i guess you know what i want. waitinng for a more stable realese and then give it a try

I pushed a first beta of Soda kernel. I added a few useful features, but battery usage reduction should be significant. Try it on your own

Thanks for your work! I will try and report back when possible.

variant, android serial number(not device serial), name of current firmware(ROM), country code, kernel version
* This information is Android apps can see without any special permissions.
* If you suspect other information transfer, open the '/res/synapse/actions/addon' file.
Description for AOSP ROMs
If you are using another developer's custom kernel, or if using ramdisk is corrupted kernel, you may encounter a bootloop or an unknown problem.
If you have a bootloop problem, flash the PRIME kernel after first flashing the builtin kernel in your ROM. (Or flash the ROM again)
This kernel is flashed AnyKernel method, for all kinds of AOSP ROM support.

New kernel , i'm going to test now

Tried both with my S8 ROM port.
Boots very slow
When devices i booted it takes some seconds till phone freezes and than reboots!

My device is SM-G930F and I am using BatMan-Rom V1.3.0
After flashing the kernel I have flashed Magsik 13.6
Thanks

Sorry, my fault. MTweaks was still running what interfered.
Flashed v1.4 with stock GPU drivers. running fine so far but boot time is still longer than with other kernels.
Could you add a global slider to under volt CPU and GPU by a certain value?
EDIT:
In Synapse at "Game Tuner MOD" and "Utility" tab the last few settings are not in englisch

The global slider is hard to implement, because of the UI structure of Synapse.
If you are not comfortable with the Voltage setting, you can get the desired result by returning to Synapse after setting in MTweaks. If you do not know what I mean, try it.
What if it takes a long time to boot? If it is a symptom that only takes longer in the first Bootanimation, it will not be a problem from the second since it recreates the dalvik (ART) cache for some reason.
If it takes a long time to boot each time, it may be because used the G935F ramdisk in this kernel. I tried BatmanROM, but I did not have the problem you said.
In the next version, i will separate ramdisks by variant like v1.3.0.
Korean in the Gametuner-MOD and utility tabs are donation-only functions.
I will translate English donors if they say inconveniences.

Ok, tried that with MTweaks and noticed that it was already under volted by my previous settings.
Noticed that there is no tab to disable wakelocks. Do you plan to add this?
EDIT: for now I back to my previous kernel...sorry....
Thanks!

Kernel-level wakelocks work when requested by an Android system or app.
It is not desirable to force such requests to be ignored.
My Note4 kernel has a wakelock tab. However, it was added because of the deep-sleep problem in some variants of Note4.
If there is a deep sleep (wakelock) problem in our S7, I will add a wake-lock tab.
Again briefly, the wakelock control should not be abused. So, if there are no related problems, I will not add them.

update to v1.5.0

Thanks for supporting AOSP! ?

After flashing 1.5.0 I'm still at 1.4.0 :/

If flashing was completed and there were no errors, it is not possible.
If you rooted or unrooted the kernel after flashing, the old kernel would have been restored.
If you do not know, Flash the kernel after rooting.

Indeed, I rooted after flashing the kernel, thank you ^-^

you do a fantastic job with all the feature you added in your kernel(thunderplug,eas, pwm flicker free, etc...). v15 is very recommended

Hey man, thanks for this kernel! I tried it on AOSP for RR which boots but I noticed that flashing this kernel, disabled the option to adjust vibrate intensity. The option in Sound is there but Settings Force Closes when clicking on it. The reason I need to adjust it, is the vibration is back to really strong vibration when touching a key. Hope this details helps. On latest Prime 1.5.0
