Any chance you release kernel for AOSP(kit kat) too? That would be really nice.

I have already used inteliactive in efficient kernel, and confirm its smoothness :). But it seems I got some problems with it, because at once it started turning on and off cores continuously, even when not unter load. I was playing with tunables, but that continued after I had put them back to default values. I hope it is obvious I was following its behavior from the beginning, and that wasn't like that when I started using it. The cores were not turning them self on and off, every half of second when load is low.

SOC Control (faux clock settings)

Why did you left out C3 state? That should be the best one? Your recommended settings mention only 0,1 and 2.

Hi Faux

I have a couple of problems with the new Kernel 016 Kitkat. After installing, if I power my phone off and then turned it back on it just gets stuck at the initial Samsung screen. I have to go into recovery mode and then restart from there to boot up.

Sometimes, when it finishes booting, it will be stuck on a black screen which flickers if I press the power button. I have to hold down the power button to turn the phone off.

Maybe it was a bad download. I will try again later.

New intelliactive governor is astonishing, pure smoothness, really an improvement over intellidemand

Sent from Galaxy S4
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] !crazy:
I do not understand some concepts of it. Like two phase frequency. It should prevent the cpu to jumps to its highest frequency, or to drop too low, but there are other tunables of interactive governor (intelliactive is based on it.) like above_hispeed_delay which can be used for the same purpose. Of course if one sets hi_frequency to the highest one, above_hispeed_delay doesn't make sense. But instead one could set hi_frequency pretty lower, and then play with this, setting it lower, or higher then 20k, or using just 20 looks good to me.

Also I will try to compare the battery drain of intelliactive to the performance governor. Last time I tested performance it performed pretty well, compared to what I expected. Probably because this CPU uses its C3 state quite well, and it was doing it also with performance governor.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] ~ Myzrael ~:
Yeah i'm curious about battery life too, it's really smooth and i flashed new kernel this morning (here in italy is 21:30 now) so i have to wait for some reliable data. I'm using intelliactive + mpdecision (to me it seems smoother than intelliplug), min freq 594mhz, max 1566mhz, uv -75mv, this is best combination for me so far, good battery and great performance (and hard to overheat also)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] faux123:
I am happy that users such as yourself are able to try out different combinations including using mpdecsion.

Many times I have been told that I shouldn't let user choose but rather I should choose for them (disable mpdecision, force intelliactive, etc etc).. but to me this is EXACTLY OPPOSITE of why we root our devices in the first place... We root to have more choice and based on your own personal interaction with your own device.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] !crazy:
What's the reason for so high min frequency. This scales pretty well, I haven't noticed any performance penalty if I use the lowest frequencies for min, but what I have noticed is that in that case cpu jumps continuously between lowest and highest frequency. OK not really the highest one, but pretty high frewuencies. Setting the min a bit higher, or actually using the default value prevents these unnecessary jumps.

Also if you are in performance so much, disable hardware overlays, and then all screen drawings are anyway be handled by the GPU.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] ~ Myzrael ~:
I like to spend some of my time to find best configuration that suits my needs, and i think that your kernel is absolutely the best of all, because has a lot of useful tunable (really useful, not gimmick tunable that doesn't make any difference), and because is stable and i'm very happy with my device now because i've found a config that i really like, and this is possible only because i have your kernel and your apps. You introduce a lot of features at every update and, nonetheless, to me it seems almost incredible that your kernel is always so stable. And there's also a killer feature (imho), that is intellithermal. I can't use another kernel because s4 tends to overheat so quick (especially with heavy games) and intellithermal makes miracles, you can have great performance with reasonable temperatures. When u will stop to develop for s4 i'll have to change phone :laugh:

edit:

Because i noticed that, anyway, cpu hardly goes below 384mhz, so i prefer to have a slightly higher min freq to gain in responsiveness (for example, with this min freq notification bar animation is really smooth). I don'y know if this is best configuration, it's the best for me, i always try to improve it ;) battery is good, i do from 7 in the morning till 24 without much problems and performance are great

[MENTION=369241]Myzrael[/MENTION] strange. Notification bar is always smote here, doesn't matter which settings. In on CM, but I have noticed some other guys were complaining about it in CM thread. Anyway, if you disable hw overlays the animation will have nothing to do with the CPU. Well almost nothing. The question is then if that would drain the battery more then cpu running at ~ 600 MHz.

Maybe a nice new feature for your app would be a control for read and write entropy threshold, like Android tuner (free too.) has it...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] faux123:
no need to do anything for the entropy pool :p It was a placebo effect a few months ago when some guy claimed about entropy issues which was totally disproved and myth totally discredited. There's NOTHING wrong with the kernel's entropy pool.. Linux is NOT only used on Android phones, it's EVERYWHERE. If a real entropy issue existed people would have long fixed it already. Android phone is not the center of the Linux universe ;)

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] !crazy:
Are you talking about seader app and similar, or you are claiming nonsense is tweaking of kernel parameters like read/write entropy threshold. Something tells me you are talking about the first.

For the case you talk about tweaking of kernel entropy, well, one can say that for a lot of things (it doesn't bring nothing.). But here we are trying this and that. I'm sure there is a guy in forum who thinks OC CPU doesn't makes sense to etc.

By changing the entropy threshold one can manipulate the entropy pool. If I understood the things right, if the pool goes too low, or if it reaches 0, you'll get a slow down, when a particular operation asks for a random number, but there is nothing in the pool. In such cases we can experience lag, until the number is generated. Also it probably depends on usage, how much someone uses encryption, maybe like https, ssh or whatever.

Edit: fixed some SwiftKey typos
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] faux123:
Android itself doesn't use the kernel entropy pool at all.

There was a long discussion on Google groups where the author of the random generator for Linux chimed in and basically debunked the lack of entropy for android.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] !crazy:
I must say that the battery life with this kernel seems to be significantly better, compared to other kernels I was using. And I'm not using battery optimized settings. I like everything to be smooth, and fast. I have changed to interactive governor, but I think I was getting similar results with intelliactive governor, stock settings. All other settings are mostly same as faux recommended.

I can have up to 6 h on screen time, and in that case around over 14 h on phone on time.

With 4, 5 h in screen time, I can have around 27 h device on time.

Over night I usually turn off everything. Day over I have three Google accounts syncing, one fully (almost all features of Google.) and two partially, email and calendar.

Maybe this is normal for some people, but I never got near to 6 h OST with any other kernel. And in general I am very pleased with the result I have, despite my more performance oriented configuration.

Yup, faux clock (although that's the old name.) is great app.

I only miss GPU OC. Not because of games, but it seems that occasional freezes, which happen from time, to time, now with this kernel too, happen less often, and take less time if GPU runs on higher frequencies. Of course maybe it is just placebo or whatever. But I do not remember I had these freezes with efficient kernel.

I also don't like SELinux, and it would be strange if it doesn't have at least small impact on battery and performance.
