which one do we use for FnC? the cm9 one?
[TouchPad Development] sahhar1993:
Cm10 ??
[TouchPad Development] :
Waiting on jcsullins to commit his changes to somewhere so my kernel can include his fixes!
[TouchPad Development] mpokwsths:
Why not 300Mhz GPU on the latest version?

Most of the TPs can cope with it.
[TouchPad Development] :
This build is 300MHz on the 3D GPU and 266MHz on the 2D... I found it was a nic balance. If you like I can make a 320 for you. What ROM are you on?
[TouchPad Development] mpokwsths:
Sorry, I meant 320Mhz.

Official CM9.
[TouchPad Development] Razor512:
Cool at the same settings of 1.78GHz on the CPU, my score has gone up from 5569 in antutu benchmark, to 6154

I will work on testing higher clock speeds and see if I can stably do the 1.89GHz from the HP touchpad.

I wish this kernel allowed me to alter the voltages as another user did a kernel in the past (bricked kernel) and it limited the voltage to 1400mv which meant that my max stable overclock was 1.78GHz and 1.83 and 1.89 would need close to 1550mv and 2GHz required a solid 1600mv (which is my everyday overclock on webos, it is set to 1600mv and 2GHz, and at those settings, 1080p MKV's play smoothly even with not fully accelerated.

Also is it possible to boost the voltage to the GPU? I remember a thread in the past (another device using the same SOC) hitting around 350MHz on the GPU with a voltage boost.

edit: ran antutu at 1.83GHz and got 6354,

and at 1.89GHz it got a score of 6490

and the kernel that I am using it the one listed under "new" CM9_GamerZ_Kernel_1109.zip - 4.03 MB

I will continue to test for stability at 1.89GHz until I can figure out which voltage it uses at the 2GHz+ speeds
[TouchPad Development] :
If you can suggest some voltages and frequencies I'll try em out. I had just never seen anyone going past 145uV but I can set the board to anything.

I'll see about posting something tomorrow for ya if you let me know. Do you know the bus and l2 speeds
[TouchPad Development] Razor512:
don't know too much about the L2, the person who did some much work on the L2 is unixpsycho http://forums.webosnation.com/webos-internals/298555-f15-eagle-test-kernel.html

sadly he did not provide much info in the frequencies that he used, furthermore he has either abandoned the project or does not want want to detail L2 boost function in his kernel so most users simply just set it to 1 even though it allows other settings and don't really venture much into it.

I am not too sure if the govnah settings are in mv or not but I will post some screenshots of them on what the F15C kernel uses

Ps wanted to add that with your kernel, so far at 1.89GHz it seems stable as it has been running the benchmarking applications file and has not crashed or rebooted randomly yet.
[TouchPad Development] :
I've seen the I can set the bus to additional 360 and 400MHz and the l2 up to 163MHz
[TouchPad Development] :
Post anything you have here and I'll see what I can do!
[TouchPad Development] aicjofs:
I built my own bricked kernel hybrid that I have been using last few months. Glad you did this thank you, going to give it a try. I see you have a repo on github are you planning on updating with your changes? Did you start with Bricked kernel code base, or start with latest CM and work the other direction?

Unixpsychos F-15C and F-4 kernel seemed to show a greater improvement then the bricked kernel ever did for me, so not sure what the differences were.
[TouchPad Development] Stryeguy:
Thanks for the updated kernel, SGA. However, when I run quadrant, regardless of whether or not it's overclocked, I get a freeze & reboot mid benchmark.

Seeing as how I'm addicted to The Bard's Tale at the moment, I think I'll stick to stock (at least until my TP decides to play nicely with your kernel).

You're doing great things for the community - thanks for donating your time.
[TouchPad Development] mpokwsths:
No reboots or freezes here. Using the old 320Mhz GPU kernel.

Thanks for your work SGA!
[TouchPad Development] Razor512:
is the only difference between the new kernel and the old one the GPU overclock? if so then I will probably switch to the old one (PS for applications such as VLC, the GPU performance is most important with dealing with high bitrate 1080p 10 bit video so i will take as much clock speed as I can get.

The GPU overclock helped smoothen out the video with only a few stuffers in high action areas (an extra 20MHz may be just what is needed to smooth that out (if not then it may be a problem with VLC )
[TouchPad Development] nikos5800:
No its not the only difference they have overclocked 2d from 220mhz at 266mhz and they have improved CPU performance:fingers-crossed:

For me its worth to update:)
[TouchPad Development] :
CM9_GamerZ_Kernel_320.zip - 4.03 MB

AOKP_GamerZ_Kernel_320zip - 4.03 MB

Okay 320 people, these are for you...

2157 is now more stable as well

I build based on feedback! Thx
[TouchPad Development] :
To be clear, the 3D is 320MHz the 2D is 266MHz and the CPU now scales better and is more productive in the "320"
[TouchPad Development] nikos5800:
My touchpad can handle overclocking at 2.022ghz and 3d at 300mhz it can't handle ovrclocking at 2.022ghz and 3d at 320mhz

But the CPU results its little low compared the 3d at 320mhz,

Can you fix? Can you improve CPU performance more? In the 3d at 300mhz version?
[TouchPad Development] :
The best results are still around 1782. Run a benchmark at that frequency an get back to me
[TouchPad Development] nikos5800:
Yes the results its better but nothing compare the stock kernel
[TouchPad Development] Razor512:
yay it is working great.

current antutu benchmark score is

Total 6502

CPU 3024

GPU 1535

RAM 1230

I/O 713

CPU is overclocked to 1.89GHz

and am using the latest kernel that has the GPU as listed as 320MHz
[TouchPad Development] nikos5800:
Its very low:( with the stock kernel I score on antutu around 7.300 overclocking at 1.782mhz
[TouchPad Development] :
this is what i m getting.... hmm
[TouchPad Development] mpokwsths:
Antutu and Quadrant are absolutely useless benchmarks...
[TouchPad Development] Razor512:
does anyone now of an application that will allow for some voltage control, (after some extended benchmarking the tablet randomly rebooted. Was thinking about pushing a little more voltage to the CPU)

A few extra mv should make the 1.89GHz setting stable for me.

PS those benchmarks do work well for measuring performance and the improvements translate to real world performance. Currently I feel that this is one of the best kernels currently available, you can feel the improvement in the web browsers and in video playback.

PS here are my benchmarks

http://i.imgur.com/ZGe3t.png
[TouchPad Development] :
I'll work on voltage control soon when I've got more time....
[TouchPad Development] Fidelator:
Thank you SGA not only your AOKP ROM is the best I've used but this kernel is truly great, everything is running smoother and I can finally play demanding games ie NFS Most Wanted, the only problem I've encountered is that when I play such games while my CPU is clocked higher than 1.512Ghz the TP shuts down
[TouchPad Development] droidblade:
Does this work in camera preview 9 by Dorregaray ?
[TouchPad Development] rrrrrrredbelly:
Tried flashing this today running aokp/cm mix. First time wiped dalvik and cache before flashing, after the install and reboot, it wouldn't get past the CM logo splash screen.

After restoring my backup, DL'ed it again, tried installing without wiping and got a error message in twrp recovery that the verification failed.

Any ideas?

Thanks, Dan
[TouchPad Development] droidblade:
Same thing happened to me just now, when I tried to install it in Dorregaray's camera preview 9.
[TouchPad Development] Razor512:
which AOKP ROM are you using?

I have seen a few screenshots posted here with benchmarks at 1.78GHz that I could not even get at 1.89GHz

I am currently using the stock CM9 nightlies and searching the forum for AOKP only leads to a remix version and an official version that has not been updated in a while and the download links are dead, and the main site throws up malware warnings.
[TouchPad Development] Stryeguy:
@ Fidelator - if you are interested in keeping the kernel flashed & playing NFS, I would highly suggest backing up your NFS data w/ Titanium. I had a save file get corrupted after a RR. (No one's fault but my own!)

@ SGA - I can confirm this, too. After not accepting "No" as an answer from my TP, I kept tinkering with the new kernel. After reading the aforementioned post, I set my sliders to the same frequency, and voila - a non-crashing TP. Anything over 1512 MHz Max (384 Min) would cause a crash and/or reboot on The Bard's Tale & Quadrant.

I'll keep this on the TP for a hot second to see if she plays nicely.

Are you sure you flashed the AOKP kernel and not the CM kernel? If so, try re-downloading on on your PC or with a different browser.

Just a thought.

Chances are, he's using the remix found HERE.

Use ROM Toolbox, or another CPU app from the marketplace to tune your kernel.
[TouchPad Development] rrrrrrredbelly:
well, it wasnt the zip. I had already tried downloading it to my comp earlier today and that was when I got the error msg in twrp. This time I wiped everything and decided to start fresh, flash the rom then the kernel. When I tried flashing the aokp/cm zip I got the same error message.

E: Signature Verifacation Failed

Error flashing zip /sdcard/...

Not sure what to do, I'm on the latest version of twrp. went into goo and flashed it again, didnt help. I tried flashing the new CWM but I got the same error message. Tried pushing twrp 2.2 but that didnt work either.

TP is working itself, I just cant flash any new zip files. I'm going to continue to look into it, I know its more of a twrp issue, but thought i'd post in case anyone has any ideas.

thanks

dan

edit-if anyone cares, i fixed the problem, used novacom and pushed the clockworkmod uImage to my tp, then flashed the new cwm in recover. with this i was able to flash the kernel, booting back up now so everything should be good.
[TouchPad Development] ubertwik:
tried in my cm9, it was good 'till my wifi died. tried install again. wifi no working. ended flashed cm9 back:banghead:
[TouchPad Development] bdesja1:
Eufloria; CM or AOKP?

Two quick questions:

1) Will this let me play Eufloria (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BBXpNpwDFzw) with less hiccups? I've already downgraded the graphics as much as possible and still there's a lot of slowdown in the game with so many sprites moving around. I don't expect a perfect game experience, but I really want to keep playing this on my TouchPad.

2) CM or AOKP? Which version do I download? Currently, I'm running "NEW:AOKP&CM9Remix_924WebAOKP", I believe, haven't seen a big reason to try the other incremental upgrades yet.

Thanks a lot, guys and sorry if I'm repeating someone else's question. And especially thanks to you, SGA.
[TouchPad Development] rrrrrrredbelly:
use the AOKP version, the cm is for his fat n creamy cm9 rom
[TouchPad Development] droidblade:
I tried this in CM9 official Nightly and now whenever I open a Root app, it says that root privilege is required.:eek: But in Super User, it is stated that these apps are allowed to use root!!!

I tried reflashing the ROM, restoring the backup I took before installing this etc. but still no luck.... Please Help!!!!!
[TouchPad Development] :
In twrp there is a skip md5 sum option, you need that one checked to flash. Sorry.
[TouchPad Development] :
A quick workaround would be to just go into the settings and automatically allow access to your apps. What nightly are you on? This is usually caused by the SU version in the kernel being miss-matched with the ROM.
[TouchPad Development] :
Sorry to hear this :o I've seen CWM not associate the ROM with the correct boot before which can cause this issue. Do you have many options to boot into? If so you might want to clean those up and try again...
[TouchPad Development] :
What version of the kernel are you using? If it is the 320MHz version you should try the 300MHz.
[TouchPad Development] NapalmDawn:
Hi SGA. Is this kernal ready for the CM9 camera preview 9?
[TouchPad Development] droidblade:
I have tried to allow apps in settings but it wasn't successful :/

I'm in 9–20120903 Nightly.

EDIT: Installing the latest Nightly (20121111) solved the issue :)
[TouchPad Development] :
Sorry the memory split is different in the camera preview. I can look at making a compatible one if you think many people are in need.
[TouchPad Development] Fidelator:
I'm running the latest AOKP Remix by SGA and thanks for the tip I don't want to lower my data
[TouchPad Development] rrrrrrredbelly:
ok thanks, I'll try twrp again with this option. its weird because i was able to flash the 11/2 rom zip last week, but when I got the error flashing the kernel, I started getting it on other zip files as well.

another quick quesiton, I already had setcpu and I installed android tuner free last night, how do i set the GPU frequencies? looked through the app quickly last night and didnt see that option.

thanks

dan
[TouchPad Development] droidblade:
Will reinstalling SU from Play Store help?
[TouchPad Development] :
That would be why, the 09/03. The kernel is based off the newest source. You can update your ROM to the most recent nightly and then reflash the kernel. That should solve your issue.

SU from the market fill also fix it, yes.
[TouchPad Development] :
Setting the GPU frequencies is a bit different. What frequency do you want?
[TouchPad Development] Izeltokatl:
Can you post the directory where the gpu settings can be adjusted? Some kernels let you manually tweak it.

Sent from my Rezound.
[TouchPad Development] :
sys/devices/platform/kgsl-3d0.0/kgsl/kgsl-3d0/gpuclk
[TouchPad Development] :
The frequency parameters are defined within the kernel, so you'll have to choose between 266, 300, and 320.
[TouchPad Development] aicjofs:
I tried this a few days ago, and couldn't get any of the clocks in sysfs to take.

i.e.echo 266000000 > /sys/devices/platform/kgsl-3d0.0/kgsl/kgsl-3d0/gpuclk still stays at 320000000

I also noticed what a few others have mentioned in Antutu, it's repeatably not quite as good at the CPU/Mem tests vs the stock kernel at the same frequency, say 4900 vs 5100 consistently. I tried to compile just the stock kernel from github with the gcc 4.4.3(to keep things even, I prefer CodeSourcery) and it's not as good as the stock kernel either, and also larger then stock. You didn't mention what source you are using less it's the newest, is it possible you are missing whatever I have missed in the config as well and accounts for performance difference?
[TouchPad Development] :
I'm working on making the higher frequencies more productive by use of the L2 boost and BUS speed increases. But for now the CPU peaks at 1.78GHz. As for performance at that frequency I am consistently rating 7400 or above, which is the same as the stock Kernel.

My theory is that what is happening is similar to the law of diminishing returns. All other things held constant, increasing the CPU clock beyond a certain point will not yield better results.

This is why I am looking into other avenues such as the BUS speed and L2 boost.

It could also be related to the low frequency and bandwidth single channel DDR2 RAM...
[TouchPad Development] reggiexp:
...... there is no

therre is no 11/09 nightly.... i can only downlaod 11/11 will that work??
[TouchPad Development] :
Yes, I'll also be updating FnC, based off 11/11 source with this kernel included, if you just wanted to wait for that too...
[TouchPad Development] NapalmDawn:
Hi SGA. I think considering how long the TP community waited for a working camera under Android and the other feelers made in this post, I'd say it could be worth your time. I'd love to have your awesome kernal combined with something that we've been gunning to have for some time.
[TouchPad Development] valuxin:
Don't know why, but 2,15 CPU & 0,32 GPU seems stable on my TP: battery max temp - 38, average - 36-37. CPU profile: perfomance. Antutu score: hmm... 7168...
[TouchPad Development] Stryeguy:
Have you tried any 3D intensive games on this kernel, with those settings, out of curiosity?
[TouchPad Development] mpgrimm2:
I'm on jcsullin's CM10 and currently can't try this kernel (not for cm10 right?), but if anyone wants to give kernel tuner a try, it allows adjustment to the GPU clocks on some custom kernels (Evo3D Buttered_Toast).

Well, I installed the app - having an issue (maybe it's a noob moment) but when I go to GPU settings, I can't get bring up the drop-down menu of GPU frequencies. It shows their current values, but I'm at a loss as to how to modify them.

Do you have this app installed, currently?
[TouchPad Development] valuxin:

[TouchPad Development] Stryeguy:
Lucky man....

I wonder what I did to anger my TP? I can't set it above 1512 Mhz w/o RR & freezes while playing Bard's Tale.
[TouchPad Development] mpgrimm2:
Yes I do have it on cm10 with is default kernel. Since gamerz kernel can be changed via sysfs with the same "echo" command as the Evo3D Buttered_Toast kernel, I was predicting it would work. I am able to use Kernel_Tuner to OC the cm10 kernel but there are issues that I can't be sure of the cause so I left it stock for now. On CM10's kernel, the GPU adjustment also displays the values but can't be adjusted. I assumed it wasn't a feature enabled in the CM10 kernel.

I will be off the next 2 nights and may be headed back to CM9 so I can get some use out of the GamerZ kernel, but I was hoping to see it working with cm10 first so I didn't have to go back.

[TouchPad Development] Divine_Madcat:
Sadly, such variations in the hardware are common. All it takes is a slight defect in the silicon (or many other similar things), and you wind up with a chip that cannot clock as high as another. Nothing you did, and unfortunately, not much you can do to fix it (though, extra voltage can help..).
[TouchPad Development] valuxin:
I wonder if it possible to OC SoC higher than 2.15 & 0.32)
[TouchPad Development] :
I haven't seen any frequencies higher than 2157MHz, but if you can suggest some I could try them out for you. I imagine your tp is a lot like mine, I make the kernel to work without a hitch on the only reference I have, my tp :D
[TouchPad Development] valuxin:
It would be great if you do this for) I'm very want to test it out on my TP) But the problem is I don't know frequencies higher than 2.15 & 0.32 too))
[TouchPad Development] nikos5800:
@SGA can you make kernel that have overclocked CPU ONLY? at the maximum frequency:D

Or make another kernel that have overclocked GPU only at 400mhz? :cowboy:
[TouchPad Development] Ubuntu_Man:
I Am wondering if your kernel would work also on aokp&cm9 remix rom...because that is what I am running ...could you tell me, if it works, what kernel should I choose from the two kernels you offer? :)
[TouchPad Development] :
I'll do 266 stock for ya!
[TouchPad Development] :
Use the AOKP kernel
[TouchPad Development] Ubuntu_Man:
thanks :)
[TouchPad Development] sahhar1993:
Any news about aokp jb

Did you find source ?
[TouchPad Development] :
I have not yet found the updated source or even commits for review... Nothing from Jcsullins or Protekk yet either. I guess it is just a matter of time until it is out somewhere.
[TouchPad Development] Stryeguy:
@ SGA: Any idea why I can't modify GPU values via sysfs commands in Android Tuner (or any CPU app with GPU support)? I wanted to find the right GPU/CPU niche for my finicky TP.

Thanks :good:
[TouchPad Development] :
I've been having trouble with that too, hence removing the GPU support.zip because the sys wasn't changing. I don't know why. The only thing I am able to do is compile the kernels with different GPU frequencies at the moment. I can put one together with OC CPU and non OC GPU, but the most productive frequency is still 1782, and therefore may as well be using the stock kernel.

I'm really fighting with this one...
[TouchPad Development] Stryeguy:
Well, don't burn yourself out racking your brain over it. I was just wondering if it was operator error on my end. Good luck, and while I may not be able to offer much assistance, don't hesitate to ask - I'll do what I can (hell, maybe I'd even learn something).

Again, you the man, SGA!
[TouchPad Development] :
So far I've had luck with 2210MHz... I'll try more later
[TouchPad Development] Divine_Madcat:
SGA, i wouldn't wrack your brain too hard. This kernel has given other devs nightmares; something about the TP seems to be very picky in a frustrating way. I will say that your kernel, above all else, has done one huge thing for me. It no longer reboots randomly. Has been stable for 3 days..
[TouchPad Development] mpgrimm2:
I just loaded up GamerZ (New) on another HP Touchpad with CM9 Nightly for a quick look around and here's what I've noticed:

Here's the location Kernel Tuner was looking at for setting Max Gpu Clocks (borrowed from Evo3D Buttered Toast's kernel info). Apparently this parameter is not defined (max_gpuclk) with the GamerZ kernel since it's not in the directory (maybe this is the reason we can't adjust with sysfs or Kernel Tuner & only shows current clock, IDK).

GPU 2D max clock (default = 228571000 (228mhz)
/sys/devices/platform/kgsl-2d0.0/kgsl/kgsl-2d0/max_gpuclk
/sys/devices/platform/kgsl-2d1.1/kgsl/kgsl-2d1/max_gpuclk

GPU 3D max clock (default = 300000000 (300mhz)
/sys/devices/platform/kgsl-3d0.0/kgsl/kgsl-3d0/max_gpuclk

Here's the what is currently available for the GamerZ Kernel:

GPU 2D current clock (displays current clock, and allows you to change current clock)
/sys/devices/platform/kgsl-2d0.0/kgsl/kgsl-2d0/gpuclk
/sys/devices/platform/kgsl-2d1.1/kgsl/kgsl-2d1/gpuclk

GPU 3D current clock (displays current clock, and allows you to change current clock)
/sys/devices/platform/kgsl-3d0.0/kgsl/kgsl-3d0/gpuclk

Valid 2D GPU CLOCKS: 160000000, 200000000, 228571000, 266667000
Valid 3D GPU CLOCKS: 200000000, 228571000, 266667000, 300000000, 320000000

I am submitting a log to Predja1 in case there is anything else he can do on his end with the kernel Tuner app. Hope this helps SGA out in some way (I'm not a dev by any stretch).
[TouchPad Development] DarkStarr:
If its easy/quick to do so can we get a version that works for the camera roms?
