Extract the script from the Zip archive you downloaded, save it onto your phone where you want. Download SManager from Play Store. Run SManager and locate the script where you saved it then open it.

1. If you want to run it to test it out just click run on the top right and exit out of SManager and do whatever testing you'd like

2. If you always want it to run, when you open it select the SU and Boot icons then click save in the top left and exit then reboot

If you want to check that its working, download ES File Explorer. In the options make sure to go to Root Settings and check Root Explorer (grant access when it pops up) and Up to Root. In the app press the "Up" icon to take you to the root directory. Navigate to sys > devices > system > gpu then open the max_freq file as text and chose a editor such as ES Note Editor (Included with the app) and it should read 733 if everything is working alright.

I am using this kernel and was wondering why during quadrant standard the fps on rotating earth is so slow? I am using it on ported rom mod.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] antiochasylum:
We do not condone benchmarks, for they are not a measure of real life performance.

However I get 59 locked on all 2D and 3D tests.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] borijess:
I dont either but without this kernal I get the same but when using this kernel it drops and stutters.

Sent from the TermiNOTEr 2! ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] xtreampctek:
They may not measure real life performance, but it may show if something is not working properly. I also get varied FPS on the Moon looking test and DNA test, varies from 20-50 FPS. Governor set to performance so I know its not the load that affecting cores going on and off. But just as you say, you receive 59 on all tests so what could this indicate for me and borijess?

Though i'm not complaining at all because my quadrant score is a little over 6700 but It just strikes me as odd that it wouldn't be a full 59FPS, something to do with how the GPU switches frequencies maybe?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] BMEEKS:

great kernal runs fast, smooth and saves battery great work i sent ya a thankyou card through paypal have a great holiday.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Mr. Droid:
Which app are you folks using to configure this kernel ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] shaolin95:
I like SetCPU
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] gundal:
About device still shows alpha 25, not a big deal just saying, because I have flashed alpha 26 about 3-4 times again, always thinking its my restore thats putting back 25 but just confirmed 26 wasnt upatded in the device info..

thanks for an awesome kernel my batttery life is killing with these undervolt settings

oh.. whats the easiest way to play with undervolting the gpu?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] antiochasylum:
Don't set the governor to performance. Use setcpu and select the max and min as the same frequency. Performance governor might be hurting you.

I could video my Q. Its fixed at 59, all tests.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] 1mile:
Hey guys could someone help. Like a tutorial how to set this up. Im using setcpu and installed perseus on cwm. I changes it to pegsusq. When I do a test im only getting about 4737. I'm reading everone saying its fast mine doesnt seem that way. Plss help :confused:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] xtreampctek:
When governor is on pegasusq I get around 6300 in quadrant vs the 6700, I assumed it was due to the activating and deactivating of cores as the load varied from the benchmark. If you had any tips as to why I wouldn't be getting a solid 59 FPS I would greatly appreciate it. I know this phone is capable of it I just can't figure out why It wouldn't be getting that FPS. The graphics score is lower then my Galaxy S II. Currently I have the CPU at 1.8Ghz Pegasus/cfq and GPU at 733Mhz.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] jeremyandroid:
Noop is better than the cfq for benchmarks maybe that's why or play with force gpu rendering

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] AndreiLux:
Why would it be hurting you? I left the performance governor in, and actually modified it to run with all cores online and disabled hotplugging specifically for synthetic benchmarks and testing. xtreampctek is correct on the reason of the score difference.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] garyd9:
While synthetic benchmark scores are interesting, I wonder if you can comment on actual usage. When playing a GPU heavy game with this kernel, does it stutter more/less than your SGS2? Does it feel faster/slower?

(I tend to be very anti-benchmark... it's too easy to optimize for benchmarks and forget the real world usage.)

Take care

Gary
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] xtreampctek:
I totally agree with you on the fact benchmarks are not really focused on real world usage, I guess in the past I always thought of GPU tests as ways to tell me my gaming performance, but just like you guessed my gaming applications appear to run without any lag or change in FPS. I wanted to throw in I used the sio scheduler with performance governor and i've been getting solid fps in benchmarks. I do wish I understood a bit more on how these schedulers function. On a side note I'm playing order and chaos as the testing game, ill be using grand theft auto 3 later to really test out the graphics performance, that game made my Samsung Galaxy S II stutter on max settings.

Regardless on whatever issues I think I may be having, I did want to say excellent job on the kernel. It really does wonders for my Note II. I am extremely grateful for all the time you have put into it AndreiLux
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] jackxlj:
Its weird but my gpu scores have dropped across the board.my cpu scores went way up, but my 3d scores are lower then my og note on quadrant and taji
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] BMEEKS:
did you run gpu script

Your gpu is still stick speed it seems have you followed directions from page 9-10 where they're talking about running a script to bump speed of your gpu. It took me a little while to figure out but I finally got gpu bumped to 800 mhz over the 533mhz stock and im getting great benchmarks.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] jackxlj:
Im getting 7583 with performance 1800 max 300 min, but my 3d performance is only 763, thats lower then the 3d score I get with my og note
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] shaolin95:
At 733 you should be getting around 52fps in Taiji. If you are not then something is messed up.

Try to dial down to 640 or even 533 to see how it behaves. There is no way to make Taiji run slower on Note 2 than in Note 1 like someone comment since even stock 533 it scores around 42 fps so either the system is slowing down due to heat or something very wrong is happening. not normal.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] jackxlj:
Im getting 43.74
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] AndreiLux:
God can we please stop discussing Quadrant? If it weren't for Vsync the 3D and 2D tests would be running at several hundred fps. I built a resetable time-in-state functionality into the GPU to monitor the DVFS, and you can see there how it won't even reach the higher frequencies. It's an absolutely useless benchmark.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ShadowVlican:
great to see an OC kernel

hope it continues to evolve and improve... and maybe i'll see a better way to alter GPU other than scouring the forum for scripts...

hmm love this kernel and was hoping to see it here thats fosho! just one issue, seems in multi view with two windows playing a video i get video lag and one will stop or both. but dont seem to get this with stock kernel? im currently on DAGr8 hybrid rom
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] wish777:
What apps will allow the GPU to be overclock without scripts so I can test them after words. i'd like to try app if so ..

Anyone have any ideas? Thank you
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] P1 Wookie:
Scripts are the only way at the moment.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] truth77:
So where are these scripts? Pls post a link.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] 9wire:
Paste this into your init-d folder. I changed mine to 800 with no issues.

#!/system/bin/sh

echo 733 > /sys/devices/system/gpu/max_freq

---------- Post added at 09:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:44 AM ----------

Here's where I got the script, so credit to bluntman420. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] truth77:
So 733 is the clock speed?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] 9wire:
Yes, but just the max, it will ramp up to 733 as I understand it. I've benn running it a couple days, no issues.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] truth77:
So I can use this script to change min_freq too I guess right? by changing the echo 733 to echo 240! 160 is kinda low may use at least 220 :)

Edit: Nope didn't work
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] 9wire:
Did you set it as min_frequency with the script? I'm totally in the dark on this, I can follow instructions tho'. :p
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] AndreiLux:
Those aren't valid frequencies.

Both of you please read the main thread, I extensively explained it there.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] telight:
Is anyone else having problems sending MMS with this kernel? When i try to send a picture as message through the messaging app, the little progress indicator circle just hangs there forever and the message never sends. I think this may have something to do with the phone not compressing the images below the size limit of MMS. Is anyone else experiencing this? I will get get a chance to flash back to the stock kernel tomorrow to see if that fixes the issue.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] truth77:
Tks for that! I was right with the wrong frequency :) and now I see how to adjust the table ;) love the new info! Tks again.

No mine works fine
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] P1 Wookie:
Ditto
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] gundal:
I am noticing something quite odd,

When my phone is plugged in using pegasus the cpu is pinned at 1400

No matter what my max settings are. I can set my max to 800 and its still running at 1400 and doenst step down at all, even with the screen off and a profile change.

When I switch to performance it will then step down to my max of 800.

Is this probably a setting somewhere? (SetCpu and Rom Toolbox are installd but setcpu should be disaabled and no longe rhave root access)

or is this a potential bug in the kernal?

will try flashing a diff kernel now and confirm results.

anyone else seeing this?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] th3g1z:
Its only while plugged in. Possibly by design, to inhibit deep sleep when plugged in via USB for no lag. It scales properly when unplugged, when it counts the most. Anyway thanks this kernel is running great for me and the battery life is incredible. No OC here (no need honestly) I undervolted a bit 25 mv everything very stable. Great job AndreiLux !
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] gundal:
YES this is an amazing kernel. but I am not sure if that was by design or a bug. In my opinion it should at least me modifyable. I used to charge in under an hour.. now there is no hope of that, with screen off im sitll pinning my cpu at 1400 (even if i max is set to 1200?)

Thats forcing the cpu to work way harder then it needs to and slowling down charge time big time.

I can confirm a different kernel did not behave this way
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] P1 Wookie:
I just plugged mine in and opened setcpu, and it was at my minimum of 500 and sitting there.

I have a screen off profile to set mine 200-500 screen off, and have it running 500-1800 screen on. And when I dropped my minimum, the speed it was running at dropped as well.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] gundal:
interesting. im going to reflash .26 again right now and play with it more, maybe usb charging is different then wall charging? will post soon
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] P1 Wookie:
It's possible. I have mine in the wall charger. I don't use usb charging through my comp. That takes longer anyway.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] gundal:
YUP usb charging is the only time it occurs.

with ac charging it works fine!.... hmmmmmmmm
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] garyd9:
If you flash the stock kernel, the same min of 1400MHz thing happens. It seems that something in the userspace (firmware) is controlling that.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] gundal:
ahh interesting and good to know. although a diff kernel can disable it, so the option is there.

ill make the post in the original n7150 thread

---------- Post added at 08:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:48 PM ----------

I am at work all day, I leave my phone plugged into my computer, with the screen on and the brightness to 0.

I can then access my files on the phone and when I leave I have 100%, at the moment I actually drain battery life while plugged in usb.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] wish777:
This is a amazing kernel...who ever is wondering if they should make the flash..I don't over clock it.but did over clock the GPU to 733...battery is just insane on this phone..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ahmarchi:
So gpu at 733 is safe??
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] wish777:
Yes most def....the most is 800..so one below max.is excellent. My fps says around 57 or so doing test..which test I really dont oay attention to though its how it feels to me that matters
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] rockinandroid:
Edited the 733 gpu script to 800gpu also and getting little over 1000 better on benchmarks...Thanks!!!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Goatblaster:
I'm showing the same issue as Gundal - on USB it's upping CPU to 1400 mhz, serious slow down on charging. I don't recall having this issue on previous revisions though, I could be wrong - I do remember being impressed with the charge rate even on USB when I first started using perseus kernel a week or two ago when I just got the note 2.

Anyway, yeah, issue is only showing when charging USB - no issue for AC charge.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] gundal:
apparently it also happens on stock kkernel and is a 'feature' to keep. Usb fast?? I think its dumb lol I want it off. An note2core kernel does disable it. I did notice thst when I plugged in usb and the notification for mtp didnt pop up or initalize correctly it didnt do this 1400 pinned status. So it has something to do with the usb functionality.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] AndreiLux:
I looked into it. It's caused by the LTE modem power management and some kind of feature related to tethering. I will remove it in the next version coming in a day or two. Note2core probably has it disabled out of negligence rather than doing it on purpose.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] gundal:
lol Andrei you are the best thanks man! I really appreciate that quick turnaround and looking into it, it seems like a really bad design flaw to me, I guess they didnt think anyone would charge through usb and would only be using it for file transfer or tether, but setting min cpu to 1400 is kinda silly.

A request if you find the time, can you add support for custom bootanimations? I think that is the only thing Note2Core has that this doesnt.. oh and I am also using note2core just to use the ondemand governor for the scaling stability test when fine tuning voltages to the absolute limits. Shame that it needs a governor called ondemand to work when pegasus is modelled off it anyways.

Thanks again for all your hard work, the note 2 community DEF appreciates it!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] AndreiLux:
Custom bootanimation is something related to the ROM and has nothing to do with the kernel, anybody can create a CWM as a standalone install for support. I don't know why people include this in the kernel as its completely senseless.

I won't include ondemand or any other governor because on our device the CPU governor is in charge of CPU hotplugging and ondemand doesn't support that, and a large amount of uninformed people who think that switching governors is a cool thing to do will run their devices with just a single core active. If you want to test undervolting do it with the performance governor and test each frequency step by changing the max frequency.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] gundal:
oooh good to know man, ill get custom animations going right away then, and yea I have been testing it like that but its a pain, I want to leave it overnight rotating through frequencies to really ensure stability, I am gonna use another kernel just for that determine my voltages then back to this

:P
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] lude219:
This might be a noob question, but does this kernel require 3rd party software (like setcpu) to function as intended or does it have dynamic cpu scaling and undervolting out of the box?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] P1 Wookie:
It is not undervolted or overclocked out of the box. You will need an app to change such things.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Brava27:
I've switched note2core to perseus and notice perseus more peppy especially with SwiftKey. Hmmm
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] @Class:
Crash for me

Hard rebooted when I selected from performance to perseus as the governor in SetCPU.

Also I didn't even seem to limit it self to 700Mhz when I set that as the max cpu freq. Always stayed at 1400Mhz and didn't budge.

:(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] wish777:
You don't have "power save" on do you? That will sometimes cause the CPU to not go over a certain frequency when overclocked
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] @Class:
No. Hmm looks like its the same problem as the post above - it was doing it exclusively while plugged into USB.

It would be really helpful to know what all the governor options are. I find my phone quickly fluctuates between 200, 400 and 600 Mhz when checking on it from the CPU menu of SetCPU.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] gundal:
Yup that constant 1400 mhz (really its your cpu min freq becomes 1400, because you can go into 1500-1800) when usb plugged in is something that appears to be designed by samsung for usb tethering, thats what andrei mentioned after looking into it.

Pegasus is the Samsung multi cpu governor, its based off of ondemand and really does work well, I believe andrei has modified it aswell?

Performance basically locks the cpu at the max freq you select in setcpu.

You will see your phone sit at 200 or 400 or 600 because it calculates the amount of load and demand being requested of it by the phone and its components and then decides what cpu frequency is able to accomplish those tasks.

In setcpu if you look over at the governor tab you can see a bunch of configurable parameters, (you prolly should leave them alone lol)

but if you look at the one called up threshold it says 85.

That means that when the cpu is running at 85% of its capacity for a particular frequency it will switch to a higher one, its constantly checking its load and adjusting, basically it uses the least amount of power possible to get the job done, and generally the user gets 0 lag.

sampling rate is how often the cpu checks its load and decides if it should make a freq switch

freq step is a percentage of how much the cpu will go up. 21 = 21% increase of current step.

the rest I dont remember I am sure you can search and find out more

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] gundal:
Hey andrei I found another bug, not too big but a waste of resources fosure

I tried it on the stock kernel and it did not occur.

Open Setcpu (or whatever program you can see current cpu freq)

Plug usb in, it jumps to 1400 min,

unplug usb

for the next 23-25 seconds the cpu will jump around ALOT and stay in the upper ranges, staying at cpu max for 10+ seconds of that.

until it finally handles whatever its doing and sits at 200 again.

it happens every time you unplug

Offline Cores

I am using System Tuner to monitor my cores and settings. After a little bit of my phone being up and running, after a few benchmarks I will go into System Tuner and find them 2-3 cores are "Offline" CPU temps are 43-46 degrees after heavy testing. I have tried setting "Force Cores Online on boot" both init.d and on boot but they still end up going offline with pegasusq gov. If I select Performance Gov. it sets all 4 cores to 1.8ghz and they never go below that.

Once some of my cores go offline they dont seem to want to come back. When I run benchmarks the scores get increasingly lower as they go off. Is there a way to get the cores to come online and remain?
