Well like viperboy said, Quadrant scores don't mean anything in regards to noticeable phone performance... but to humor you, his scores are higher because he set his both his min and max frequencies to 1800 so the phone is constantly running at top performance. Technically, it gives you a higher Quadrant score, but it also drains your battery significantly faster and makes your phone run hot.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] AndreiLux:
Re: [Kernel][Jan 31] Perseus

Hello, this is OP chiming in.

You're an idiot. Several people corrected you and you're still trying to convey something completely false as a hard fact.

No, the kernel is not based on any firmware.

And for a bit of education: Complied kernels are based on source code. In the case of Samsung that may mean a specific firmware from which the source drop may have originated from. However for me and for this kernel that is false since I haven't used a pure source drop in 4+ months, and the current kernel is a conglomeration of S3, N2 and Note 10.1 sources.

And, as somebody else mentioned already, Samsung kernels are ROM agnostic. Unless there are big changes in the kernel APIs, which happen once in a while on major versions of Android and ROM build. And this also answers people's question "will this run on XXYZ?", yes it will. (Except AOSP)

In STweaks there is a new setting he added under the screen section called enable master sequence. So when enabled there was a redish hue on the screen which he later fixed in 33.1
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] AndreiLux:
Re: [Kernel][Feb 26] Perseus

Where do you people pull these things out of? There's nothing changed regarding the hue in 33.1.

If you find it red then it's because you're used to this blue white that's predominant on Samsung phones. If you don't like the calibrated values you can alter then to your liking.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] honki24:
When I upgraded to MA7 (MacksROM) I kept the stock kernel for a week or two. I think it's been very solid in performance and the battery was amazing. Today I got the itch again and saw the new Perseus and flashed it. I did some before and after testing with the MA7 kernel and Perseus version 33.1. I used Epic Citadel to measure real world gaming FPS performance and quadrant to capture an overall. I ran them both 3X with the stock kernel, also with Perseus at all defaults, and then with Perseus with overclocked CPU/GPU, undervolting, Deadline IO scheduler, and some tweaks to CPU/GPU scaling towards performance.

What I found was that the stock kernel is very steady. I get 46FPS with low variation in Epic. Quadrant scores hover around 7050 with good consistency. All sub-scores in Quadrant are very consistent.

On Perseus with default settings I was getting slightly worse FPS in Epic and noticed that in the heavy processing spots in the rendering it would drop into the high 20s whereas with stock it would be in the mid 30s. The quadrant scores varied widely with Perseus. I wold get anywhere from 6300ish up to 7050. IO was almost always worse than stock. 2D performance was always on par or better than stock, and 3D was typically worse.

Then I made my tweaks in Perseus (all towards performance with exception to mild (25-50mV) undervolting). 1800MHz CPU 733MHz GPU. Everything improved with regards to performance (as expected). My Epic FPS is steadily at 48-49FPS. Overall Quadrant scores are in the 7500-7600 realm. With deadline IO scheduler I get slightly better than stock IO performance. With the overclocked and undervolted GPU I get slightly better than stock 3D performance.

One key takeaway was that in quadrant I noticed that for both default and custom settings of Perseus I got very high variance on the FPS during the 3D testing. It would drop down into the 40s at times and fly up to a high near 62FPS. With the stock kernel it was rock solid at 58FPS the whole time.

I like the fact that this kernel charges my phone faster in the car and on USB, which is a main draw for me. I suspect that I might get equally good performance (3D and IO) out of the stock kernel with init.d support though and not need to overclock and undervolt to do it. I'm going to see how my battery does on my new perseus settings for the next several days to make my determination.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] t4d73:
Re: [Kernel][Feb 26] Perseus

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] honki24:
Uploading pics of my settings in a minute. I wouldn't say that it's a bad thing at all that you get a solid 58FPS with the perseus. That's what I got with my stock kernel. But Perseus with all default settings and with my enhanced settings both gave me pretty wide swings on FPS in Quadrant. Granted, my FPS got a bit higher (62) but it also dropped quite a bit lower. It's like this kernel reacts more quickly and scales much more quickly whereas my stock kernel seemed to recognize a heavy load activity and just hold steady performance and throughput.

Here are my settings: https://docs.google.com/folder/d/0B3G914GZmqlBamJ6MWRoOVFrcEU/edit?usp=sharing

I increased max CPU freq to 1800 and undervolted all of the higher frequencies by 50mV.

I dropped up threshold to 75%

I increased Up Threshold at Min Freq to 50%

I increased Frequency for FAst Down to 50%

Didn't touch CPU Hotplug or Memory/Internal

Increased GPU max to 733 and dropped min to 108 and undervolted higher frequencies by 25mV

Dropped GPU up threshold to 70%

Changed the internal storage scheduler to deadline, left SD card scheduler as row.

Left "enable dynamic Fsync" checked as it came default

Thanks for your input. As we all know comparing quadrant scores from one phone to another isn't helpful but you're seeing about the same as me with the exception of a bit stronger 3D performance. I've got a few questions for you:

Were you seeing the same as me as far as FPS variation in quadrant? (IE I got solid 58FPS with stock and a widely varying FPS with perseus with totally stock settings and my modified settings)

What's the difference between your two quadrants? Is that stock versus perseus with default settings?

When you say "that setting" has to do with 3D performance, what setting are you talking about?

As far as I know undervolting doesn't cause any issues unless you undervolt too much such that the processor freezes. I haven't seen any freezing with these settings... and remember that even with default settings in perseus (no undervolting) I saw widely varying FPS performance in quadrant and slightly worse in epic compared to stock.

---------- Post added at 09:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:18 AM ----------

After a couple of days I am certainly getting just as good of a battery life out of the Perseus as I did with the stock MA7 kernel. I'm leaning towards thinking that the trade-off is worth it. Haven't done any heavy gaming lately so can't be sure.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] t4d73:
Re: [Kernel][Feb 28] Perseus

The setting l am talking about is in the phone settings itself. Menu settings developer options

This gives me almost perfect 58 all the way around on perseus and increases the overall score significantly. And btw quadrant scores do matter very much when you're trying to increase the overall performance of a device. Not trying to be an ass but benchmarks measure every aspect of the device and are important.

Re: [Kernel][Feb 28] Perseus

Is this without undervolting? I went from stock kernel on macks ma7 rom to perseus and my battery life suffered drastically. I'm at 22% after 7 hours with less than normal use. Less than an hour screen on time. Granted my time without signal is 12% but it's usually between 5-10% anyway. I really like the snappiness of the kernel and the extra features but the whole reason I bought the note 2 is so I wasn't tied to a cord all day.

Guess I'll have to learn more about the undervolting thing but I like to leave things alone that I don't know about I always leave kernels to their default settings no need to overclock this phone for what I use it for.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ffolkes:
In all of my years as an Android enthusiast I've never seen a developer like AndreiLux; previously, I thought the talented devs who did kernel-level patching were amazing, but AndreiLux actually implements new features - and MAJOR ones at that. With each iteration of Perseus he keeps bringing new things and tweaks I didn't even think were possible for an engineering team, much less one person. I want to read a biography about this guy someday...

The latest color calibration controls are honestly beyond my wildest fantasies, and that's not an overstatement. Since my first WinMo smartphone I've been struggling with inaccurate color and wishing manufacturers would at least release a basic color temperature control, like monitors have had for many decades. The past few years have brought increasingly wider gamut displays, but still lacking any level of calibration whatsoever. Back on Gingerbread Chainfire3D offered a basic way to adjust temperature, but it was cumbersome, and sadly became obsolete when recent versions of Android were incompatible with its implementations.

That being said, I'd like to offer my sincerest thanks to AndreiLux for his work, and for sharing this with us Note2 users. But there's one thing I'd like to very humbly ask: will this ever be available for AOSP? Like many others, I love the cleanness of AOSP, but I also love Perseus. As an amateur, I have no idea how much work it is for a developer to port a kernel to AOSP, and would be tremendously grateful if you could shed some light on the future of this.

Again, really, thank you so much for all you've contributed.

Re: [Kernel][Mar 03] Perseus

The problem with CM is its inconsistency with the Mali drivers which are just a big mess. Recently they changed them again to make them incompatible with old CM roms. I release the kernel for 9 models and each has a different type of support for CM and I'm too lazy to deal with that. Maybe once Samsung releases sources for 4.2.2 where they switched over to new drivers; well see.

I prefer to spend my time in doing some features to better the phone than to waste it on ROM compatibility. Other developers are welcome to integrate the changes into a CM kernel or even flat-out just fork it and add CM support, it's not that hard. Sadly enough other devs seem to dislike most of my more advanced changes since almost nobody else implements them. Having your own ****ty work with name on it is apparently more important than the quality.

The other posted mentioned Chad Goodman; he's an idiot, no matter how his work is.

Sadly... I try to avoid minor releases but in this case it wasn't possible to release it without issues since screen calibration is subjective to each phone.
