Thanks. I'm going to give it a shot. I may try OC again as well now that I've done a reset.

Any idea why my device would be so flaky? Like I said, it's not just your kernel, I've had problems in the past with BeastMode, etc.

2.0 installed on Viper 3.1. OC'd to 1.9. Standard volt, lowered min voltage to 825, enabled zram and so far it's running beautifully! I was confused about the NTFS usb support... I didn't enable it but should I?

From the OP
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] codeprimate:
I'm having major issues with 2.0.

Apps are crashing left and right, have had a few freezes and random reboots.

I've tried intalling it with a few combo's of features enabled/disabled.

Symptoms appear with

OC / UV / zRAM / NTFS

1.7 / Off / On / On

1.7 / Off / Off / On

1.7 / Off / On / Off

Maybe you uploaded a corrupted version or something, but I'm retreating back to 1.5 until the bugs are ironed out.

The configuration you've posted is virtually identical to one of the ones I tested. :(

Except I didn't undervolt. I don't think I've heard of any problems being solved by undervolting, so it is most likely something about my device.

Just a thought - are you using the default CPU Governer and IO scheduler? I left it on the defaults (intellidemand and FIOPS). I did change the IO scheduler to CFQ at one stage, but the issue persisted.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] flar2:
Now that this kernel is about more than overclocking, I'm going to put out a version with a choice for less aggressive internal clocks sometime this week. There are a few people who can't run stable with the faster L2 cache and bus speed. This was brought up on the One S and EVO forums too.

It's a new scheduler designed specifically for solid state storage. I was going to include SIO as default like in my ICS version of elemental, but found FIOPS to perform better.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] flar2:
I will be adding a new parameter to the overclocking module so there is a choice between "stable" and "performance" with "stable" as default. The stable setting will not overclock the L2 cache and bus. There are people on all three devices I support who can't run stable on with the more aggressive settings.

I also plan to make the next version have an option for completely stock CPU, so users can enjoy features like zram without overclocking/undervolting.

I'll probably have time to do this later tonight.

A few folks are having issues but I suspect not setting up cores well, I he kernel tuner myself an check setting every reboot to make sure sec core is alive an set correctly. I have seen idk how where at one point one core was off an its speeds pinned balls to wall, so I always check.

Of course, your actual mileage may and will vary some.

There's no need to flash the boot.img on viper. This just loads some modules and runs a script to set everything.

The boot.img is only included for people who are on stock, or a rom that doesnt' include a kernel with init.d support.

Version 2.1 Download: http://goo.gl/6Gty5

You only need to download this if you want to disable increased L2 cache frequency and bus bandwidth, otherwise it's the same as 2.0.

Changes:

-Option to completely disable overclocking/undervolting

-If overclocking, choose between optimization for stability or performance

Performance option increases L2 cache frequency and bus bandwidth, stability option leaves them alone

I recommend stability. I might get rid of the performance option because the stability tradeoff might not be worth the minimal performance gain.

Please let me know if everything is working as intended

NTFS Support is to enable the ONE X to read NTFS USB drives and sticks. In stock JB, HTC only enabled Fat32 support.

All, with the performance option enabled for faster L2 cache and increased BUS bandwidth, are you guys noticing that the CPU is running hotter at idle? Looking at my graphs, my CPU would idle at 38 degrees C without performance and 45 degrees C with performance on. This is pretty hot for idle...

The performance settings make the phone blazing fast, but may not be worth it if the CPU is going to run this hot.

Thanks a bunch for making and updating this kernel. I'm running stock frequencies with lowest under volt without issues.

I figured I'd chime in and recommend that people stress test their over/under clocked/voltaged CPU's with StabilityTest on google play. Run the stress test for like 5-10 minutes and if you don't receive any crashes/reboots your good to go. If you crash, then change settings and give it another go till you find stability.

^^Hardware revision shouldn't make any difference, these exact same modules and scripts work on the EVO 4G LTE and One S.

The kernel itself is stock, you can't possibly have problems from that.

Anyone having problems is either

a) undervolting or overclocking too much, in which case I suggest installing without overclocking (you could also open /etc/elementalx.conf and make sure it says FREQ=0)

or

b) something is interfering with the init.d script, in which case check to see if you've installed some tweaks or if some app is trying to apply settings at boot

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] unitedatom:
You're not going to save a ton of battery life. I'm not sure whether the undervolt carries to all frequencies and to what degree but according to the original post, there's a -50mV at 387mhz.

Stock voltage at 387mhz is 850mV. So with the lowest undervolt(-50mV) that drops to 800mV and you're saving about 5.88%

That doesn't mean your battery life is going to improve by that percent. It just means that the CPU while running at it's lowest frequency is using 5.88% less power. Your standby time might increase by a little as a result.

That being said, I think the higher frequencies are only undervolted by -25mV which is less of a percentage change from stock voltage. (I'm uncertain, as OP doesn't divulge voltage details)

At the end of the day you're saving some battery life. And a little is better than nothing.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] flar2:
Doesnt' matter, there is only one kernel for Jelly Bean Sense right now. If you read the message in the installer, it says not to install the boot.img if you have ViperXL 3.1.

General FYI:

boot.img is what you flash on the boot partition, it's an image which contains a kernel and ramdisk

There is only one kernel available for JB: the stock kernel from HTC. HTC is the only one who can produce the kernel because they are the only ones with access to the source code. ( btw, they are violating the linux kernel's license terms by not making the source code available)

However, the ramdisk can be modified, for example, to add init.d support. Most of the custom ROMs do this, I know ViperXL 3.1 does.

The difference between the stock boot.img and the boot.img included with ElementalX or Viper 3.1 is the ramdisk. Stuff like init.d support and insecure boot. All that ElementalX requires is that init.d support be added to the ramdisk.

There is exactly no difference between the boot.img supplied with ElementalX and the boot.img supplied with Viper 3.1.
