Awsome kernal man. Only one Ive used for the past 4 months. Ive stayed away from 4.3 due to the browser scrolling issues. But just loaded the durty unicorn rom with the stock kernel and then compared the performance with this kernel. And all i can say is WOW. The jump is so substantial my brother preferred my phone over his note 3. Loving every aspect of it except for the browser perfoemance from the stock browser. Version 1.66 on 4.2 is butter smooth all around, but i would love to see what this version does to it. I know you offerred a port compatible with 4.2 a while back. Can that still be done? It would give some of us that cant move to 4.3 some of this goodness.

On another note can any one offer some high performance config settings for the zzmove givernor? Thanks again man and keep up the awesome work.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] xopher.hunter:
Just curious why pegasusq is no longer the default governor, I feel zzmove is very laggy despite tweaking it all over. Also the default values are all out of whack on the pegasusg scaling/hotplug control. Can we have the default values for pegasusq governor like how they are on perseus? Thank you
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mrjs84day:
I know what you mean. When I was on aosp I was using zzmove and it was laggy until I went into trickster mod and disabled the power saving feature which was trying to disable 2 cores. After that things got a lot better. I'm not sure if this will help you but I hope so.

That was quite dramatic, I'm honored you appreciate my efforts so much. :P

Plasma kernel 2.03b7 for Sprint Note II - Android 4.3.x / 4.4.x

- Bug fix: For the past few releases the first screen press after wake was intermittently discarded. Super annoying, thought I was going insane for weeks before I realized it wasn't just in my head.

- Bug fix: Night/Negative mode no longer toggles while the screen is off to prevent accidental pocket issues.

- STweaks: Added option to disable wake from home key at the kernel level (Plasma Tuneables tab). This is mostly for 4.4 alpha ROMs that don't yet support this natively.

- STweaks: Nothing new here, but a reminder to the 4.4 users that the touchkey backlight can be disabled on the Screen tab. You will most likely need to check "Disable touchkey backlight", then choose "Legacy Mode (kernel)", uncheck "Turn on touchkey backlight after screen press", and press Apply.

- STweaks: The core thresholds on the ZZMoove Hotplug tab now work properly. There was a copy/paste error that got propagated, pretty much invalidating that entire section in previous versions. Sorry. :/

NOTE! This will backup your mali drivers and then install new ones. If you flash this zip more than once, you will overwrite the backup. If this happens, you should be able to reflash your ROM to restore /system/lib without any ill effects.

Plasma kernel 2.04b0 for Sprint Note II - Android 4.4.x only!

- Mali r3p2 drivers (thanks temasek!)

- GPU tab in STweaks no longer does anything for now

Hello all,

Been using this kernel on and off for months and it has been mostly great, but I can't say it's made my device a beast. In fact I'm having a lot of issues with stability and battery life on the latest 4.3 build while on Pacman Rom.

What changes is everyone making in stweaks to get the crazy results everyone is talking about? Want to make sure I'm not doing anything wrong.

Thanks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] tatoniss:
Testing the new 2.04 beta. Early first impressions are exciting. Graphics performance has increased a noticeable amount. Still need to see about overall performance. The last couple of betas have been pretty laggy. Its probably zzmove. Thanks for the new update ffolkes!

OK this is looking pretty great. Not getting the lag as before. So far very smooth!

Something I've noticed on 4.3 and 4.4 builds...anytime I have heavy 4g traffic e.g. big download/torrent I can't get my phone to wake and I have to pull the battery. This doesn't happen on wifi. Mobile data only. I switched back to stock kernel because of this, but I can flash again if a log is needed.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ffolkes:
That's really weird, I'd advise you to find the /data/.plasmakernel directory and delete it. Most file explorer apps can see hidden files (files and folders with a . in front of their name) but you may need to tell your app to show hidden files if it doesn't by default. Then just delete that whole folder (.plasmakernel) and reboot. Out of curiosity, start some music before you test it - the music player should hold a wakelock and you shouldn't ever get a SOD, so you should be able to turn it back on. Now turn the player off, and try it again.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] matttheman:
please please

Hey v there man. Is an update coming along the way for the n7100 to include latest GPU drivers and sources to fix those annoying lags and graphical glitches please. Really miss your work. Your a really awesome Dev and we really appreciate what your doing. :fingers-crossed::good::laugh: god bless :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ffolkes:
Thanks for the kind words. :)

I will try to get an update out within the next 12 hours for the 7100/7105. The reason I haven't is because I've been busy porting over my GPU changes to the new driver so the GPU tab controls work on 4.4. So far everything but the up/down thresholds have been completed.

In other news, it is crazy how fast 4.4 is. I've been running slickrick's PA 4.4 11/17, switched to ART, and everything I do on the phone is just so freaking fast.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] cuezaireekaa:
Agreed! It really does feel like next gen stuff, this 4.4 pa.. And your kernel puts it into overdrive

The only thing that bugs me about aosp is when the note ii is shut down the charging animation freezes it's really annoying especially knowing our anoled screens can get burn in. Hope someday it gets fixed. On the s iii they fixed it though. It's in all aosps I've tried. Is it a kernel issue?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] altimuh:
Good question!! When everyone flashes, what are the normal options you check off in stweaks? This will help noobies to kernals like us to learn how to get the most out of it!!

Here you got bud Confirmation number: 8U757965PJ9936519. Nice job
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] xopher.hunter:
First thing I do is turn off kernel screen gestures. Next I raise CPU to 2000 and increase voltage by 1 bump. I also set the minimum cores online to 2 (eliminates lag).

BTW [MENTION=349360]ffolkes[/MENTION] have you tried micro CPU monitor in the play store? It displays all running cores in little bars above the status bar. Very useful for watching hotplug decisions.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] altimuh:
Thanks! :)

Any other tips from anyone else?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] :
I'm on PA 4.0 (4.4). what kernel(s) works?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mikelav456:
What governor do you use and why? How do I turn off the kernel gestures?

Thanks!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] xopher.hunter:
Zzmove because it has gotten much attention to detail lately. And you can disable kernel screen gestures under the screen tab. I do that mainly because I always accidentally trigger the screen off gesture.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] cuezaireekaa:

Thanks to both of you. Will see how the zzmove settings work out for me over the day tomorrow. I am guessing that I am giving up battery life as in order to achieve fluidity and no lag. Has anyone hit on the magic formula of long battery and high performance using this kernel? If so, care to share your stweaks settings?

Thanks.

Plasma kernel 2.04b1 for Android 4.3.x (Jelly Bean/CM 10.2) L900

Plasma kernel 2.04b1 for Android 4.4.x (KitKat/CM 11) L900 NOT UPLOADED YET!

The 4.3 versions don't have r3p2 drivers (I don't think there are userspace drivers for 4.3), other than that they are the same.

2.04b1

- Optimized memcopy

- Support for triangle away

- STweaks: Plasma tuneables tab - Option to block Home key presses for 4.4 ROMs that were lacking that.

- STweaks: LED / Haptic tab - Options to globally add addends to the red, green, and blue LEDs. Defaults are set to what looks good on my device. For example, if yellow looks too green, try reducing green by 5, pressing Apply, and retriggering your notification.

- STweaks: LED / Haptic tab - Option to calibrate neutral colors. When displaying pure white, some people get different tints depending on their device. This lets you compensate for that. Remember, up close you will always see the three colors, so when testing this either blur your eyes a bit or hold it far enough from your face. Defaults are set to what gives a nice, bright white for my device.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] cuezaireekaa:
Not sure if you still have yet to upload 4.4 or if there was a mistake like what happened on that one time on the last build upload a couple pages back ;) I'm not too worried though because I'm back on carbon 4.3 with your latest build and I'm blown away. Took your suggestion and deleted the plasmakernel folder and redid some tweaks and wow. Zzmove was a bit laggy before for me, but now its blazing.

My battery is just so much better for me on 4.3carbon, than it is on 4.4 atm. Only the speed from ART is what I really miss. and the fullscreen music on the lockscreen. but too many apps that I use daily fc with it enabled so I can't keep it. I just can't find a rom that I enjoy fully, and everything that I need just works so well, like carbon. cant wait till they bring a 4.4 out.

This holiday season is gonna be rough on the wallet but come payday, I really want to show my appreciation.

Thanks a lot ffolkes. You're a boss

edit: i just wanted to add that ive not done anything with hotplug or screen off settings this time around. nor anything with GPU.

i use zzmove. 200 - 1600 - sometimes when i overclock to 1800+, ill notice later in the day that my clock will not exceed 800mhz unless i go back down to 1600max, but ive not attempted this in some time. i only use 1800 with RR3, DeadTrigger2, and other huge games.

So no other changes at all? Just zzmove on latest build?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] doubleu:
I've been a lifelong PegasusQ user, but with all the zzmoove talk lately, I decided to switch over to it. However, I instantly had sound stuttering using TuneIn Radio and Bluetooth streaming audio. I tried bumping the bottom cpu speed from 200 to 400MHz, but the stuttering still remained. Is there anything you guys have tweaked that solved the stuttering sound problem? I will say, with zzmoove selected and the screen ON, it won't stutter. It's only once the screen goes off.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] pappschlumpf:
Try to set screen off max frequency to a higher value!

That seemed to work better, I'll keep messing with different values. Thank you!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ffolkes:
Sorry to everyone about the missing 4.4 link. I'm glad things are working better, I've put so many hours into messing around with zzmoove, and I think it's as good as pegasusq now when it comes to responsiveness. I've gotten pretty good battery life on 4.4, but probably not as good as 4.3. I did run into the occassional FC on PA4, but it was only like one or two apps a day, which isn't too bad. The recovery issues are really baffling, and are what keep me from running 4.4 always, since I like to be able to nandroid every few days.

I appreciate how much you appreciate Plasma kernel. :) I don't do this for money, although it would be fun to bring Plasma kernel over to the Nexus 5 at some point, but I'd never leave the Note2 as my daily driver. It frustrates me when there is wasted potential in a device, so, like Batman, I must rise to the call and do my best to improve things. :P The S-Pen would be totally unusable to me if I didn't add the touchkey block, and it's sad to think stock CM doesn't have this. Of course it's not their fault as they maintain so many devices, I just mean in the big picture of it all, it's a shame AOSP so frequently brings a reduction of features.

Thanks for the bug report, I'll look into it. :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ffolkes:
You can do several things. When the screen is off, zzmoove will increase the up threshold, lock to 1 core, and apply freq_limit_sleep. If I were you, I'd leave that at its default (400MHz) and drop the sleep up threshold to 80 instead and see if that helps. :)

i've a couple questions [MENTION=349360]ffolkes[/MENTION].

i went ahead and set stweaks to defaults and wiped caches, and then flashed the latest kernel for 4.3.

is it already defaulted and set up to take advantage of the touch booster? or do i up the 'touch booster minimum cores' to something beyond 2cores? (it says default should be at 0 but it was adjusted at 2 cores)

i also noticed the Touch Booster Frequency was at 1400MHz but the default says 1000MHz. (so im assuming you have this set at 1400 for a reason.)i was thinking of bumping it to 1600. it shouldnt be too much more batt drain from 1400 but i dont really know.

ps i also agree with you about the spen touchkey block. that thing is so damn useful for note taking and drawing in Sketchbook. i set mine at 1000ms

also i wanted ask you or anyone else that would like to state their opinion - what sound engine do you prefer? Voodoo, or Wolfson? i'm using viper4android with wolfson, but i tried voodoo again recently and loved it. just curious is all..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] :
My favorite has always been Voodoo, since it has Dynamic Range Compression. If Wolfson had that, I might be inclined to change.

Also, [MENTION=349360]ffolkes[/MENTION], I'm having a red led for everything (notification, charging, etc). Could it be a kernel issue, or a rom issue?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] cuezaireekaa:
thanks! :)

my leds are the colors i changed them to in my roms settings. cobalt blue=charged, teal=charging, and magenta=batt low so m not seeing an issue.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ffolkes:
Those are the old settings, I guess somehow I didn't save it after I changed it? Idk. :/ The STweaks text is what I had intended. 1400 is what Samsung uses in TW, I use 800 personally, but made it 1000 as a compromise. You might want to increase the duration (how long the boost lingers after the finger is gone) to 250ms or more. I find the frequency boost is more helpful in responsiveness than added cores, but maybe I'm wrong. Maybe under heavy load the extra cores could help keep things fluid. My test is dragging the notification bar down quickly and seeing how much lag there is before it catches up to my finger. TW is always so buttery smooth, even on the S2.

With the booster off, and an idle system, the CPU drops to 200 or 300 MHz. So when you drag it down, you need at least a sample (~100ms on zzmoove by default) to detect the added load, then that only scales it 5% higher (or whatever is it freq_step), so the cycle repeats 2 or 3 times, at the cost of 100ms each. Before you know it, you've used 1/4 second or more scaling up to a fluid UI speed. This can be really noticeable at times. The booster eliminates that, and it shows, at least in my testing. And it doesn't seem to affect battery life too much.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ffolkes:
n7100/n7105 builds are coming soon. I know this is still the wrong thread, but did anyone ever find out what was wrong with Omni (n7100)? Because I pulled the ramdisk for that from omni's 4.4 boot.img. I don't understand why it doesn't work. :/
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] pappschlumpf:
I would test it, but i've a 7105. Tried to boot with your 605b2 version with omni, black screen, no boot. Restored the original omni mali drivers and booted again, black, no boot. Well, if you could pack a 7105 omni version i'll try it, what logs do you need if it's not working?

It's rapidly looking like PegasusQ in its entirety is deprecated, but is the flex rate function of PegasusQ specifically deprecated as well?

The latest kernels have stuck it at 2160 Hz in STweaks, and the setting seems not to hold over reboots.

I've yet to really delve into zzmoove myself, because it was massively laggy the last time I used it, although it's obviously been overhauled since then.

Maybe it's just time to moove on.

I was experiencing this as-well when I was giving cm11 11/26 a try...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mrjs84day:
This kernel is amazing, this and a couple of roms have kept me from moving on to not only another phone but also another carrier. So thank you ffolkes.

Now the hard part, what can a nondeveloper do to get this kernel to work with miui-cm base? Can this be done without deving experience?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ffolkes:
STweaks was a great app in its day, but it isn't so good anymore unfortunately. :/ When zzmoove is active (default), the pegasusq tab goes crazy because /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/pegasusq/ no longer exists. This makes all the values go to unnatural values. To properly get to pegasusq, you need to change the governor to pegasusq, fully close STweaks and reopen it. If STweaks opens immediately, then it didn't really close, so try again. When you open it, it should do it its usual ~30 second enumeration of all the sysfs values, at which point the pegasusq tab should be correctly populated. Of course, now the zzmove tabs will be the ones with the wonky values.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] sunmybun:
Plasma kernel for 4.4 breaks root on the cm11 11/26 to me and so I cannot use stweaks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ArcMage:
To be clear, I have only ever had PegasusQ enabled, and the flex rate value has always been wonky.

Is there a better kernel app than STweaks out there?
