you need KCAL support stock kernel doesnt have kcal drivers. you need custom kernel that supports kcal.. example insigniux or kirks kernel.

Which would you prefer, or would you just stick to stock? Do you also feel the colors to be a little subdued?

kirks has OC adn UC but hasnt been update in a month..
am using insigniux similar to stock but has kcal and schedunt governor.. no i never use stock kernel thats the reason i unlocked bootloader..
yes colors are subdue. i use saturate and add 3 points value.

So the thing is - I know nothing about kernels! Have never flashed them, don't really know what they do, so I've always kept stock. Any ideas where to begin to understand more about them (besides digging through the forums)?
I see Blackbox and Kirks cited a lot. How would those compare to Insigniux?
Also, I'm on stock Global MIUI (rooted of course), and want to stay on that for a while, but later am planning to go to LOS (or maybe another custom ROM). Would I need to change kernel in that case?
Thanks for your help, btw!

they are all different.. i first flashed balckbox but didnt have many extra options seemed like a stock kernel.. then kirks had more options and i just started using insigniux.. many have claimed that it gives better battery life and its fast..
you can change many things in kernel.. if you want more battery then theres options to make go easy battery but will suffer from performance and speed. then theres ways to gain a bit of battery and keep performance.. and of course performance...
like change governors.. this will change cpu frequencies some are more tamed other agressive.. ect.

[Q] SetCPU

My SetCPU has only about 3-4 different frequency options between 806Mhz and 245 MHz. Is there any way to increase the number of options between these two frequencies?

U have to root your phone and flash some ROMs depending on which type of rom do you like, it comes with kernels for overclocking or you can flash one if you want to. Rooted stock rom doesn't have any compatible kernels it breaks some stuff so you really need to use a different rom..

Well if he's using SetCPU then he's already rooted, so he's got that covered.
OP as jojo stated, you need a custom kernel to allow overclocking. A lot of people seem to be fond of Pershoot's OC kernels, but I personally just use the one thats included with CM6 and now CM7. It allows an overclock up to 1.5ghz.

I think he's wanting to know how to add more underclock frequencies. It can be done but you have to decompile the kernel in order to do it and also have decent knowledge of voltage tables (since the purpose of underclocking is to save battery power you have to uv also). Probably well beyond most peoples comfort level however, if the op still wants to attempt it are numerous threads with info - just search for something like 'creating a custom kernel' or 'make a kernal'. One of them is located in the G2 development forum.
Oh ok thanks guys. Yeah, I have Pershoot's kernel so that is not a problem. I was trying to include more underclock frequencies, but if that means editing or creating my own kernel then forget it lol, I'm no expert on that.

overclocking epic 4g

What is the safest speed you can overclock the samsung epic 4g? I am using the Tegrak overclock right now, and I found out the ultimate can run up to 2ghz.
That doesn't work. You have to be using a custom kernel to overclock the Epic and it is only safe up to 1.4ghz.

FYI, complete newb to this stuff, so please bear with me. Are you saying that it takes a custom kernal for the Tegrak Ulitimate, or the the version I have right now? With the Tegrak Overclock, I put it at 1.3 and it seems noticably faster.
Tegrak ultimate shouldn't work at all, and you're lucky it didn't royally screw up your phone without a kernel with support for overclocking. Look in development and select a custom kernel to fit your tastes then download either SetCPU or OverClock widget and use one of them to raise the clock speed on your phone. I recommend either of those because they are tried and tested methods.

Weird, on the android market it says that it (the standard Tegrak) works with stock kernels, custom kernels, and custom roms. I checked before installing it and I just double checked it now
For the record, it has been a while since I played with my phone, but it's kernel right now is 2.6.32.9

Another thought; I've had setcpu for a while, but didn't find much use for it as the phone is already operating at 1GHZ, which is the max SetCPU will allow the phone to work.
Because there isn't a kernel that support OverClocking installed.Once you have an overclock-compatible kernel installed SetCPU can raise the CPU speed.

I see. Thanks for the info
Also, while tegrak may work I strongly recommend a custom kernel for added stability, along with overclock capabilities up to 1.4ghz (depending on if your phone can handle it) undervolting and other useful features.
Each phone is different. Some phones can handle 1.4ghz, others can't even handle 1.2ghz. You just have to test it out and see what your phone can handle.

After reading the link to Twilite, I am interested in running the SyndicateROM Frozen. Any chance someone could walk me through the steps? I'm not being lazy and am doing research, just want to make sure I don't screw up my phone. I am at work right now, so I haven't even attempted to get Twilite yet. Perhaps getting the new rom would accomplish two things at once??

[Q] How To Fix Game Lag

Hey, i have this problem from the begining...
So i have android version 4.2.2.
I'm running phone on franco Kernel 3.0.85 with Paranoidandroid Rom 3.56, Also i use app to OC my phone to 1,6ghz.
So everything is okay expect gaming , example when i play temple run 2 and i set on the best quality it will not run smooth you can see lags ingame and i think this phone should run it easily.
I was reading forum but i didn't found any solution for my problem, i tried to find busfreq_static with following informations :
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/busfreq_static
but there's no busfreq_static file when i enter to cpufreq directory , i use File Explorer just to check am i able to find busfreq_static file but i can't.
Any solution , any help would be much appreciated.

first, dont OC to 1.6!! the following may help you:
go to Settings and click on Developer Options and enable Force 4x MSAA. Multisample anti-aliasing (MSAA) is a technique used to improve image quality. Since the Gnex has a GPU capable of supporting MSAA. Keep in mind this will also cause your GPU to work harder and your device may get hotter and consume more power than normal. It’s also possible that all games may not support this.

It can blow up your cat. If it's the same with 1.2GHz... Why are you OC'ing? Go do some reading on voltage control and smartreflex on 4460.
Something tells me you're forgetting basics on how to OC on this device. If you don't supply enough voltage for all the cpu steps, device will stutter and lag, might even reboot.

first thing you need to do is disable SmartReflex® across the board, so that your user-defined voltages stick.
messing with voltages is very device-specific. increment voltage by small ammounts, stress-test and use the device for a while to make sure it's stable.
have you tried running those games while running Google's stock kernel?

Do you even know anything about ROMs and kernels?
When I said have you tested this on stock kernel, I meant, did you try this on stock ROM, but specified kernel because, it's like, common knowledge for someone who flashes ROMs, that custom ROMs devs often alter kernel (and ramdisk) to support features on their custom roms..
Have you for example tried reflashing PA, and just PA, nothing else? Does it lag then?
Have you for example tried fully reverting back to stock? (factory images)
Why is it that you just want your games not to lag, not even trying to gain a deeper understanding about what people are telling you.
Listen, this is the last time I'm saying this:
I told you to check your voltages, since you're OC'ing, and expecting SR to do the job for you.
Test by reflashing again PA, with no custom kernel.
Test by going back to stock, through fastboot/factory images.
Temple Run 2 on best quality lags in mine too.Probably it was designed for 1080p.Just keep the graphics a little lower, doesn't affect gameplay or quality

[Q] Custom Kernel, Any Advantages?

I'm not really looking for anything in particular, I just like modding and improving my Nexus 7. Are there any true advantages to a custom kernel that will increase performance and productivity? I know there's kernels which allow overclocking, I'm not sure if it's worth it when in comparison with battery life. The Nexus 7 is already speedy enough, but is there a benefit to overclocking to maybe 1.7GHz or 1.8GHz CPU?

if you're on 4.3, I can highly recommend franco.kernel. Great battery life, and allows overclocking.
Benefits are overclocking aren't really that great, especially if you can run everything fine. However, it does come in handy if you're playing graphics-intensive games and there is a bit of stutter.

There's also an app in the Store which does the same thing but a) forgot the name (if I remember I will update this post) and b) it's not as low-level as this kernel and so I would assume it will use the battery even more than this. This ain't "free" as well, for the record
I think enabling volume button wake is also useful, as the volume rocker is much easier to find than the smaller power button. Not sure which kernel does that though.

how long does your battery last?

Hello there guys, I've started to use this phone a week or so, and I tried a bunch of different ROMs and finally I have settled with Dot Os since is the one that worked flawlessly for me, but here's my question
How long does your battery last?
I've seen older posts complaining about this phone battery. But I wanted to check with you guys that have been using this phone with custom ROMs.
My battery last very poorly, most days I need to recharge from 2 to 3 times in the same day, I don't play games, but my screen time is long I suppose, I use it a lot to look up things in the browser or to read posts on reddit mostly.
Since this is a second hand phone I thought it could be that the battery had run its course and that it was time for a replacement, but even with a new battery the performance still far from desirable.
It's very hard to compare, because it depends a lot on your ROM, kernel, adjustments and usage !
On my side I bought the phone (a6020a46) more than a year ago, and I use it for my work with Bluetooth for the headset, but I don't use much games or browser, so it lasts around 24 hours...
Really the developers have stopped thinking about the battery life, custom roms are more focused on performance and smoothness now a days. I am watching temperature of my cpu its always above 42 C even on using whatsapp it gets heated. I was searching for Kernal with hotplug like stock kernel but didnt found. All CPU cores are working Tirelessly consuming tons of battery. I wonder whether no developer can develop a battery saving kernel with better management of cores like stock kernel developed in 2016.
It could be the ROM, but since I'm not sure what to expect from this phone in trying to first figure it out if my battery is in fact OK, so you guys recommend any app or method for that, I'm using Accubaterry and according to it my battery health is fine, but even though it can't last a whole day on the other hand I can't complain about performance, it really is fast and just works (DotOS)
Edit : yeah I think that the main source of battery drain might be the ROM itself, I've been lookin at kernel adiutor and by default all cores are always on with the minimum frequency of 960 MHz

Only kernel with hotplug turning the cores off by default I've found is the one that comes with AEX 5.7 by Harry.
See this post:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/k5-plus/development/rom-aospextended-v5-0-t3688595/post77036466
Also he added a core control to manage hotplug values.
You don't like (for whatever reason) cores being offlined all the time? Ok, go to core control and set the properly value to switch all the cores on as you like.
If you want low battery consumption, I would suggest to stay on Nougat, it's not a troll it's a fact

Honestly I don't really care if it's nougat, oreo or whatever, I'm just looking for a stable release to use as a daily driver for a while since I can't keep flashing a new ROM every day
@shubhgoan, @ghst7 here's offlining hotplug working properly on Oreo AOKP, by using Dragon Elite v1.4 kernel.
As many others custom ROMs, no way to hotplug the cores without using a custom kernel wich support that feature.
I'll be testing how much the battery lasts now.
@walterfuster let me know how it's goes, BTW can you tell me where did you find DE kernel v1.4? On the Dev section I have found only version 1.2
In the meantime I'm using AOSPEX and although the hot plug behavior is not that aggressive, it works and I already have noticed an improvement in my battery life

@shubhgoan, @ghst7 here's offlining hotplug working properly on Oreo AOKP, by using Dragon Elite v1.4 kernel.
As many others custom ROMs, no way to hotplug the cores without using a custom kernel wich support that feature.
I'll be testing how much the battery lasts now.

I am using Dragon Elite on RR oreo now i switched to Aokp with DE 1.4. But i Didnt see any hotpluging or thunderplug. Please give the Details of how you flashed and which exact rom with all changes you did.

You will find it on Androidfilehost website in the developers folder.

you'll find in page 8 from the same thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/k5-plus/development/kernel-t3725978/post76549650
which was the last update this kernel had.

STEPS:
flash DE kernel doing the cache/dalvick wipes previously.
install this app:
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=673791459329056791
(similar to KA)
open it and goto CPU Hotplug->Hotplug Style and select "Per-Core-Hotplug".
That's it.
Now check with CPU info overlay cores automatically being turned on/off according to needing.
@shubhgoan I corrected the link. Sorry for that bro.

thanks a lot
@ghst7 Just reporting the results running DE as you requested me some posts ago.
What do you think? It's real. I promise.

Thanks I will try it myself with DotOS and see how it goes, AOSPEX also worked pretty well for my battery, it got to last a full day worth of work.

Hey I looked it up but couldn't find relevant info about this, can you explain it what exactly does this option do?

yes, it makes hotplug work, turning the cores off and on independently, depending on the cpu load.
I'm in stock rom, thinking about changing to aospex, i'm just done with 2 hours of battery from the stock rom, but I've never made any custom rom stuff... So, what's the best battery life/performance rom out there?

You will have to flash ROMs and find the one that works for you, from my experience AOSPEx, Dot Os and AOKP are all pretty good, if you wish to improve your battery life you can also flash DE kernel

Hey @walterfuster sorry to bother you again, but can you answer one last question for me, are you using an external SD card? And if so is your SD card formatted in what extension, fat32 or exfat?
I'm asking because I'm using a 64gb SD card formated as Exfat, and every time after I flash DE kernel I lose access to it, I mean the system still recognize my SD card but when I navigate to it, it shows no files, they are still there I just can't access them, I just want to be sure before I have to make a huge backup to format my SD card as fat32, I'm on AEX 5.7 btw

Hi guy, oh, I don't use an external SD card, so, I can't check anything for you.
BTW, I've also tried PB2 kernel with AOKP (completely compatible), and no chance to hotplug. It's a shame, man. because it's a great kernel: no random reboots like DE 1.4, and also has overclocking!
So, only way to get hotplug on any custom Oreo is by flashing DE v1.4, AFAIK.
I also attempted a crazy thing wich was replacing AOKP boot, with the one from AOSPEX, in order to run AOKP with AOSPEX kernel, to finally get hotlugging, but, guess what: DIDN'T work. Just got an endless unicorn boot logo
