I found Kernel Tuner to be superior in one way, voltage control. Viper only does increments of 25mv where Kernel Tuner can do 12.5mv. That said, those increment differences aren't substantial. But they did allow me to modify my voltages. I did a -12.5mv drop across the board and dropped 192mhz to 775mv. Viper's -25mv increment was a tad too much for some frequencies. I'll probably revert to stock soon, but I enjoy tinkering!

For all intent purposes, the stock cpu control in Viper is sufficient.

Re: [KERNEL] [Feb21] ElementalX-5.0 | OC | UV | ROW | ZRAM | S2W

5.0.4 running awesome with viper 2.3.4 here. Installed with defaults other than enabling zram

Observations:

Fast as hell

First run of apps is fastest I have seen

Battery seems good(less than a day, still too early)

Antutu no longer crashes when overclocked

Multitasking is improved

Only negative I have seen:

Quadrant steps and dna graphics test are not playing smoothly, looks like graphics might be suffering from the new changes.

Can others run quadrant and watch the steps and dna animations closely and report.

Definitely going in the right direction Flar, thanks again!

Overall my quadrant standard scores are down from 7350's to 6900's between 5.0 and 5.0.4. I also had to turn KT back on to get down to any kind of changes and details. I think the FPS is about the same topping out at 61. I am having issues with settings sticking using just Venom Tweaks, running into some random changes. The lynch pin in my set up right now seems to be that SD card cache size, I haven't ironed it out all the way by my guess is that it is in relation to the scheduler. Scores and just using the phone have me at fiops @ 4864. My theory is that there are different combos of scheduler and cache size that work well together, may also relate to the governor as well.

Right now I don't feel like my phone loves the increase in max 3D GPU to 512 from 400. Just ran a test while posting this with it set back to 400 and put up a 7181 without the FPS bottoming out which I noticed on the previous test @ 512.

Just a cautionary note for anyone having reboot issues with this kernel: Don't automatically assume it's the result of overclocking. My phone went haywire last week, and I was going crazy trying to find the sweet spot of voltage and cpu. I was finally getting reboots on vanilla at 1.5, which made no sense. In frustration, I flashed the stock-no-wp kernel, and the random reboots continued--which of course meant they had nothing to do with overclocking or voltage. I then reviewed the CleanROM forum and saw that some people were having reboots as well. So I did a full wipe today and installed UrDroid. So far, things seem to be working.

tl;dr Lots of stuff can cause reboots--it may be a kernel issue, a rom issue, or an app issue.

I'm going to try out the new beta this week, but first I need to be sure I'm on a stable configuration. :cool:

RE: GPU overclock and Quadrant scores

I've often wondered how much benefit there is to overclocking the GPU. I'm going to do some testing of the graphics before I release the next beta.

As far as testing goes, Quadrant is very inconsistent. The scores range all over the place so it's really hard to use it for testing. Interestingly, my Quadrant scores were in the 7400 range on v2.5 (before source) and now are in the 7000 range. Despite the lower scores, I find 5.0 to feel smoother and perform better overall than the older modified stock kernel.

No aosp/cm version from me. I stick to the sense ROMs on this phone, plus I'm already too busy to start developing another thing and there are already some custom kernels for those.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] sully00:
Good to know. Is there anything you recommend for testing different setups?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Nalin12:
Yeah i know it happens with quadrant especially and later i shifted to normal V5.0 and now it's on a 1.7ghz and quardrant gives me 6.5k score.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] flar2:
I find antutu to be pretty consistent, but I'm going to try some other ones.

I have no preferred setup. The main thing is that you have the same conditions each time you run a test. I usually run each test three times. Also be careful that thermal throttling doesn't interfere with the tests, running several in a row can push your temps up high enough for throttling to kick in, which will artificially lower the score.

I did some quick testing just now with antutu (just the 2d and 3d tests) and found that GPU overclock made a small difference each time. It's not huge, but the scores were consistently higher with the GPU overclocked. 3D: ~2915 vs ~2840 2D: ~1100 vs ~1000 (my CPU was set to 1.7GHz)

IMO vsync defeats the purpose of GPU OC :P

if you are going to OC GPU might as well cut vsync off to actually see what its doing otherwise your frames will just be limited.

+1 ^ Besides Li-on based batteries have no memory so this is pointless and purely placebo.

It was the old Nickel based ones that required the full charge and discharge to get the most out of them.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] sully00:
Well you apparently didn't have the battery that would go from 100% to 1% in about 30 seconds after running the AnTuTu test into the zram wall. Calibrating your battery is probably "pointless" if it is working properly but if your battery is crapping out it becomes way less pointless. My understanding is that it basically just erases a file that if corrupted would screw up your phone. Probably don't need an app for that but it solved the problem at the time which was way beyond unplugging it from the charger.

Sometimes people are just looking for a solution to a problem, this in fact was it. So to say it is pointless is not very helpful because you clearly didn't understand my problem.

Re: [KERNEL] [Feb21] ElementalX-5.0 | OC | UV | ROW | ZRAM | S2W

If you actually look at what battery stats bin is. You would only see info such as what app used how much power and when. Or phone boot/shutoff power level ect. This calibration talk has been disputed for about three years now. But the facts state it a log plain and simple. In no way can you calibrate a lithium ion battery. It has no memory cells period, therefore no possibility of calibration. End of insane talk transmission!!!

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] RC196:
Re: [KERNEL] [Feb21] ElementalX-5.0 | OC | UV | ROW | ZRAM | S2W

Then only thing calibrating is the file. If the battery is at 100% or 4200mv and then the file is wiped out and a new one is created the information in the file accurately reflects the total charge, Correct?

So if someone were to flash a new ROM and the old file still existed would the battery level shown be inaccurate? If inaccurate it could give the impression that the battery is dropping fast, when in all actuality the ROM was flashed when the battery was not fully charged. So resetting the file at a 100% charge would only fix the inaccurate log file not the battery. Only the file is misleading. Not the battery. Right?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] blaz1nr:
Re: [KERNEL] [Feb21] ElementalX-5.0 | OC | UV | ROW | ZRAM | S2W

Yes the file is misleading. It will still only show info, wake time, power usage, app usage no matter when it's wiped. On Google plus a while ago the Google engineers, talked about what it does and how android gets a full charge.(controlled by rom at boot) See in the pic you have ma/mv. When ma hits 0.You can't hold anymore charge, and it will never loss the ability to reach 0ma level. Unless it's over heated. This was not true way way way back, but since the evo4g you can bet on it being fact. Let's get back on topic, all info can be found with Google search.

A link to the latest beta, ElementalX-5.0.5-beta, is now in the OP

5.0.5 changes:

-updated aroma installer

-CPU optimization options: Vanilla or ElementalX

-zram enabled by default

-small tweaks to GPU settings

-fstrim at boot

5.0.4 changes:

-dual zram

-use zcache instead of qcache

-use zsmalloc instead of zxmalloc

-CPU1 governor can be set independently

-set max screen off frequency

-choose 192 or 384 minimum CPU frequency

-autogroup by current user UID instead of task id

-update cpupower according to cpu load

The vanilla version is now an option in the installer. If you pick the "vanilla" option you will get stock voltages, L2 cache frequency and bus bandwidth, just like ElementalX-5.0-vanilla. The ElementalX option has slightly increased L2 cache frequency and bus bandwidth, exactly like version 5.0.

Be careful setting the screen off minimum too low. Some phones might be able to handle it. Some will get reboots with screen off max set to 192 or 384. That's why I set 486MHz as the lowest option in the installer.

It's also why I've added an option to set the minimum frequency to 384. Some phones don't like 192 as the minimum frequency. Although rare, it can cause random reboots while the phone is just sitting there, seemingly asleep.

Also, in case it gets missed, 5.0.5 beta is up. Vanilla users can test this one too.

5.0.5 is fast, stable. Scrolling seems a tiny bit choppy but not everywhere. For instance Facebook is really fast & fluid when scrolling but apps like es file explorer & xda are not, otherwise its all good.

192-1.7ghz, gpu oc, zram on, fsync on, 594mhz screen off Max

Its not actually choppy, rather it seems that fps aren't keeping up as well maybe? Idk

ViperXL 3.2.5

ElementalX V5.0.5

Edit: just reverted back to 5.0.4 & yep, noticed a return back to usual fps behavior.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Luisit0:
so i upgraded to 5.0.5 from 4.5, and i had chosen 900mv on 4.5 installation and later undervolted manually through venom tweaks to 800mv, now i selected 850mv during the 5.0.5 installation and as i checked venom tweaks it was still undervolted by -100mv so min voltage was at 750mv.... it didnt give me any issues the 2 minutes i used it before i noticed it, so that leaves me with the question: is it safe to run at lower undervolt than 800mv??

EDIT: also, as flar2 stated, setting screen off max to 384 or 192 makes the phone reboot as soon as u put it to sleep, but 486 works perfectly fine! as of now, battery seems to be great! and kernel seems faster than ever imo

It's won't hurt anything to undvervolt below 800. If you undervolt that low and have reboots while the phone is just sitting there, you need to bump it up.

As for screen off frequency, mine reboots randomly when it's set to 192, it usually happens within a couple hours. I haven't had any problems with 486, I think that should work for most people.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Viper4713:
Excuse my noobness as I am still trying to master Kernel knowledge but I see the Vanilla version sets everything to stock, but just like the regular version can you use venom tweaks to tweak the voltage and frequencies all the same? My guess is if you don't set on boot it goes back to vanilla defaults?

I am asking this because I have used ElementalX 5.0 Regular version, I left everything alone in Aroma, and my phone rebooted twice within 2 days and I am waiting for jobs to call me lol, Stock Kernel never rebooted before which is why I am interested in Vanilla now, but would still like the option of full Kernel Tweaks.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] flar2:
If you pick the vanilla option, it should be as stable as stock for you. You will get stock voltage and no extra tweaks to cache and bus speeds. You can still overclock and undervolt with vanilla, but if you want it absolutely stable, I would suggest choosing 1.5 as your max frequency and leaving the voltages alone.

Question: were your reboots while using the phone, or did they happen while it was just sitting there? If they happened while it was just sitting there, it is most likely that you need a higher minimum voltage. More rarely, some devices don't like 192MHz as the minimum frequency (which is why I'm adding an option for 384 as minimum in the next release).
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Viper4713:
Its when I was using the phone, I was in Sense, I swiped screens and next thing I knew It was on ViperXL boot animation,

Do you think if I used the regular version and manually set the minimum to 384 in Venom tweaks that I shouldn't have any problems anymore?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] flar2:
That's actually a hot reboot, which is usually a software problem. You might have to wipe and reinstall.

When the kernel screws up, it goes all the way back to the initial vibration and htc bootsplash.

However, it is possible that a hot reboot could be caused by overclocking and/or insufficient voltage. If you overclock you should test stability using a stability testing app.

In your case, setting the minimum to 384 won't help. That's only for phones that reboot while it's just sitting there.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Viper4713:
Well I already reflashed, and I am on 3.2.5 now of ViperXL, all of this was happening when my internal SD storage was having problems, I thought your kernel was the cause of the issue then found out it wasn't, was a bug in Viper, I didn't overclock past your preset(1.7), I might use vanilla sense I need a stable phone to rely on so I don't miss job interview calls

But will Vanilla save me any battery life at all? Venom's Stock Kernel is pretty bad for battery life on my phone.

Also 1 last thing, I also had my minimum set to 192 for overall phone frequency, not just screen off, is it possible that my phone would hot reboot sense 192 was set for my overall frequency? like the frequency is to low to even let the phone get up to speed so it crashes? because even on 1.7 it was sort of laggy sometimes, compared to Venom's Stock.

Because I don't mind giving the full ElementalX a try again as long as I can make sure I don't miss any important calls.
