Why doesn't it stick? Just the limitation? Or a bug?

Oh yea i didn't know if arm functioned similarly to x86

Is there a way to confirm that the gov has stuck? Because all this would explain why my synthetic scores were horrible after and only after I switched gov haha
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] manofcolombia:
Ok sorry another question.

Since intellidemand is default in the script and if that's the one I want would there be a point to changing it from inside software if it's already default even though software says it's interactive?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bsimpson1:
To confirm your current gov open android terminal and do

ls /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/

or you can navigate to that directory in a file manager and see what the name of the directory inside of it is

If that fails try this in android terminal emulator

cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor

or you can navigate to that directory in a file manager and open the file called scaling_governor as a text file
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] manofcolombia:
Ok but now that I've switched to intellidemand I now see both intellidemand and interactive dir in the cpu freq dir

Edit: if I flip the set restore on boot option in cm performance memory it gets rid of the old gov dir and I'm left with just intellidemand. But then have to make sure it's unchecked if I wanna boot up with the oc and gov on.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] albinoman887:
its hard to check if the gov set on the other cores because the sysfs files go away for it when its offline. like i said just have an app set it at boot and you will be fine. and no its not a bug. its just the nature of how the whole OC and gov switch works. back with single core processors it didnt matter but with more then one the app cant set the gov if the file isnt avalabile due to it not being on. as far as i know there isnt really any way around it. its not a s4 specific thing. it happens on my htc sensation and any other multi core phone. just a dual core it isnt that big of a deal cuz there are only 2 cores. when you have 4 and only 1 is being switched. then i can see it being more important

No, use an app. the script doesnt work correctly right now. CM has a file in /system/etc/qcom-post-boot.sh that sets the gov to interactive on post boot. so its done after my script. i'll look into that this week sometime. i just gotta mess with the ramdisk so its inits my script after post boot.

almost got it, read my above comments. that is only showing you cpu0 and you can only check 1 - 3 while they are on. maybe me and ktoonsez will figure out how to link cpu0 scailing gov to the rest. but it would be a first. all kernels to date behave like the way ours is now
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] manofcolombia:
Well i think I finally got all cores on intellidemand :)

I had to back it down to 1.99 just for a little less heat but sees to me after I forced all the cores on. Then cold boot... For some reason if I tried to reboot it would hang at the Samsung and I had to do a battery pull... And then change the gov... Make sure it applies the settings again after boot. Then another cold boot and boom all cores on intellidemand.

Has anyone messed around with undervolting a little? Maybe like 25mv on all freq? I figured I'd ask to make sure before I tried. I'd like a little cooler temps and that 25 mv prob give at least an each half an hour to a hour of battery.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] albinoman887:
ok i fixed the ramdisk and script so it gets started last. i had to move it to /system/etc and name it chronic-config.sh its the same script though. it will be in the next build. gonna sleep first
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] an21281:
Thanks!!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dobo84:
Is this build newer than the 1.1 ? Thought that was the latest build

Sent from my Vanilla S4
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dmarden:
Today's is 1.1. The previous was 1.01, I believe.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] BMc08GT:
Nice catch. Missed that myself :P
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bsimpson1:
Weird. For such a long time I just assumed setting the governor for cpu0 set the rest to the same.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] an21281:
I think kernel tuner root from play store links all the cpu's and I'm currently using trickster mod donate. Just checked in kernel tuner and it says all cpu's are on intellidemand.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] manofcolombia:
If your running 1.1 then yea any app now working a applies the gov to all cores.

It was an earlier build that you had to force all cores on at boot and then change the gov
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] manofcolombia:
This newest build with the gov actually sticking in all cores is fantastic battery life.

Notice I still have 52 percent still...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bkrickles:
Should I be changing anything in performance settings? I'm running liquid
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] manofcolombia:
Well liquid currently hasn't been tested as I recall so your mileage may vary but I am very fond of the intellidemand gov so I highly recommend switching to it. Just make sure you have flashed the newest build so that the gov is applied to all cores at once.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bkrickles:
Thanks. I am on new kernel and already switched to intellidemand. Was wondering about voltages and other stuff. Liquid is awesome with this kernel
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] manofcolombia:
Yea i haven't tried undervolting yet. I'm a little wary doing it on a phone so I was hoping some one with more experience undervolting phones could chime in.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bsimpson1:
edit: whoops
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] albinoman887:
Just to be clear. using an app after the fact still might not set gov on all cores. unless it specificly has the option for it like kernel tuner (but i hate that app. it changes permissions on everything and you cant use another app to switch unless you do a full wipe. i like no frills. but like i said its not a 100% for certain thing. i dont' trust apps. thats why i use the script. the SCRIPT will for sure set gov on all cores on boot. then you can use apps for everything else. bottom line. after you find a gov that works. set it in the chronic-config.sh , as well as your GPU settings (if apps still dont support our phone, they might now)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] manofcolombia:
I've been using system tuner like you suggested and ive also selected everything in the script as well as fast charging just to try it out haha
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dobo84:
What is the default governor for this kernel? Out of curiosity

Sent from my Vanilla S4

---------- Post added at 03:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:39 AM ----------

Only reason I ask it was on intellidemand and if I change it and reboot its back to intellidemand

Sent from my Vanilla S4
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] manofcolombia:
Yea its intellidemand

Go into the script and uncomment the one you want and then comment out intellidemand

You know with #?

Script is in /system/etc/ and call chronic something.sh

It's the best way to do it and then reboot and you can then put in your oc with whatever app you like and it'll stick
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dobo84:
Its not a big deal I was just wondering if the is the preferred governor by albino, I seem to get great battery life no issue just wondering

Sent from my Vanilla S4
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] manofcolombia:
Oh yea i suppose that's why he defaulted it and he also said it was what he was using a couple pages back

Fantastic battery life I think

14-15 hours with 5 hours screen on time for me. Granted I'm impressed by anything over 6 hours with my stupid iphone 5 jailbroken haha
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] albinoman887:
Lil. Yeah I had a htc sensation before this. Its battery sucked. And ya intellidemand is default
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bunchdx:
OK I know the op says cm/aosp tested but just curious if anyone has tested with carbon? I'm thinking about trying it but thought I might ask just out of curiosity.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Seano.:
it works on carbon.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bunchdx:
Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] albinoman887:
Yeah its mainly just touchwuz that won't work
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Daavinator:
I've been using this for a few days now with CM 10.1, and it's rock solid. I haven't had a single reboot during that time.

I noticed that USB OTG wasn't enabled on this kernel. I was wondering if that was something you could consider adding to your future builds, since I find myself using it quite a bit with the PS3 controller. I know you can use the Sixaxis app with the PS3 controller, but I've found that USB OTG is just a little bit more responsive.

Thanks for the great work!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] albinoman887:
Yeah I'll look into it
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] manofcolombia:
[MENTION=3322708]albinoman887[/MENTION]

I'm using system tuner to overclock and stick the gov and right now I'm having system tuner set it on boot completion. However there's another option for setting it within init.d

I was wondering if Selecting that option would actually work? Would it actually change the chronic-config.sh or would it just set the oc while the phone is booting as opposed to on boot completion. Because every time I reboot shortly after unlocking the phone I get a message from super user saying that it gave permissions to system tuner and I know that's to set the overclock. That's what got me thinking.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] albinoman887:
It makes an init.d script. But it won't work Cruz it will be executed before qcom post boot which sets to interactive . that's why I made the custom script/service
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] manofcolombia:
Ah ok that makes sense.

Thanks

Just a know a little more now
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dobo84:
I haven't seen any kernel changes to cm so I can assume this will work on the upcoming nighly

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] albinoman887:
yeah you should be fine...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] manofcolombia:
I noticed today's has MFA merge under kernel changes. Will this affect anything on the current build of your kernel? Cuz now I just can't go back to stock haha like the snappiness too much
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dobo84:
I'm running the latest and it seems fine. I did experience one reboot prior to today's update

Sent from my Vanilla S4
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] albinoman887:
the MFA merge is mostly for the s4 active i think. but i'll merge it and new a new .0x build tonight
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] rpxz:
48 hours now on this ROM and not a single reboot or lockup. I'm using intellidemand/row at 2052mhz. Battery life is very nice for being clocked this high.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] alove_xda:
Just curious, what app/setting are you using to set the clock speed? Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] manofcolombia:
I like system tuner... Its free and works. The kernel creator also recommended it.

1998 ghz

Row

And intellidemand gov

15 hours on batt worth 5 hours of screen time and extra snappy

Just be sure to tell system tuner to set the gov and oc at boot
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] manofcolombia:
So... I flashed today's nightly and then kernel over top came out oc then went to benchmark and then said I wasn't rooted...? Went back to system tuner... The oc stuck and the gov too but now I can't change the settings...? And root checker said the same?

---------- Post added at 03:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:51 PM ----------

I reflashed the kernel... Still have twrp... But it told me I'm not rooted blah blah blah would you like twrp to install su user... I hit no because I hadn't backed up a couple pictures yet and yea so... What's going on? Kinda bizarre... I did skip a couple nightlys this week and went from 6 to 13...?

---------- Post added at 03:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:00 PM ----------

I reflash to stock today's nightly and obviously it's rooted cuz its a rooted stock kernel soooo...?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] albinoman887:
thats strange i'm using it with the lateest nightly. try a clean flash maybe? you dont have a superuser app installed do you? cm has superuser
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] manofcolombia:
No i do. I got super su when I rooted with motochopper exploit and pre release kernel on stock TW then I flashed cm and been dirty flashing since. So yea it was really odd... And then twrp asked me if I wanted to root my device at the end of flashing and I said no because I was fairly sure that would make it worse because the only thing currently working is motochopper correct? And there a bounty out for a new root method/unlock bootloader since verizon/samsung pushed their new bootloader.

Well I'm going to try today's nightly and then flash the new build and if not back everything up and clean flash. But yea i cant wrap my head around what would have been going on for me to lose root... Or more than likely partially lose it...

---------- Post added at 11:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:15 AM ----------

Hmm... Well just a dirty install of today's nightly and the new build and it's fine?

This time however I let cm boot and went into superuser and updated it's binary and then back to twrp and flashed the kernel. That's just weird...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bkrickles:
any reason new build shouldn't work on Liquid?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] manofcolombia:
... I can't find any reason why you wouldn't wanna be on cm.... :p haha

Trolling
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bkrickles:
Seriously?

Do you believe cm is a better experience than Liquid?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] manofcolombia:
Haha nah man your entitled to your own opinion. I'm just messing around haha
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bkrickles:
Don't misunderstand me, I'm not saying Liquid is better, it's just the only aosp rom I've really tried so far and I'm always looking for recommendations.

Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] manofcolombia:
Oh haha ok sounded a little hostile at first xD

Yea no I know cm and since I know their quality and consistency I tend to stick with cm because they've been reliable and reliability is very important to me. Then comes the stock aosp experience and all the cm features. But if your interested then go check out the q/a thread for cm I'm usually around there and everyone on that thread is normally very polite and will answer and questions concerning cm. And because it won't clog this thread haha.

No problem
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Galaxys4bean:
Will this affect battery life if i use with cm10? Or will it have the same effect on battery as stock kernel? Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] manofcolombia:
I saw an increase in batt life. And when over clocking I saw very good battery life
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Galaxys4bean:
Ok, thanks alot, so do I flash this right after I flash the rom? Then wipe cach/dalvik cache?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] manofcolombia:
Right... I would let cm boot first and do it's thing and then go back into recovery and flash the kernel and wipe cache and Dalvik
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] albinoman887:
That's your problem uninstall supersu. Superuser is built into cm now. If you have both they conflict
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] manofcolombia:
Oh yea i forgot about that. But supersu that I'm using has an option to respect the cm settings within the dev settings so I wouldn't think that would be a problem? But maybe cm updated their Su binary before it was pushed to the supersu app when I flashed the new nightly both the apps binary and cm binary weren't happy with each other?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] albinoman887:
yeah possibly...or something with the ramdisk. as it has to be packed with the kernel if there was an update to it in cm you wouldnt have it...anyways it works now right? :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] manofcolombia:
Yea its working fine now just like before. But thanks for explaining it. It makes sense and hopefully it'll all keep running smoothly and I'll just have to keep eyes out in the changelog
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] manofcolombia:
I was just thinking about updating my radio to ME7 radio but then I figured I should make sure this wouldnt freak out the kernel...any thoughts?

Heres the thread that stated it would work and stick with CM but I wasnt sure if radios do anything with the kernel...I know they dont with roms but yea better safe than sorry...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=43439450
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] an21281:
It works fine with any rom/kernal combo, I have had the ME7 radio flashed for a whole now with no problems. Running Pac with Chronic.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Luk37astic:
I always try to use Faux's recommended settings on whatever kernel I'm using, but for this kernel, I can't seem to change the intellidemand sampling_rate value. I change and apply, and it reverts immediately.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] manofcolombia:
Awesome just wanted to make sure I was right.

Yea Verizon coverage at my house is horrible only reason I switched from AT&T was cuz big red has a LTE tower in Lynchburg where I go to school so speeds are fantastic!

... But home for the summer... *sigh haha
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] an21281:
Kernal settings are baked in, you need to change it in the init.d script
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] manofcolombia:
Yea its in system/etc/chronic. Sh I believe
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] albinoman887:
no hes talking about the sampling rate. for some reason it doesnt allow you to change it, i know. i had a fix in place that allowed it to be changed but it created massive battery drain with the intellidemand gov. i'll re-visit the bug i guess. just leave it as is for now. Faux's settings are just that Faux's. this isnt Faux's kernel :P

I recomend everything default as i have it in the crhonic-config.sh script except i OC to either 1998 or 2106
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Luk37astic:
Alright, thanks for the response! I hope I didn't offend you in any way trying to use someone else's settings. I use this kernel regularly and it's great!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] albinoman887:
lol no you didnt offend me. sorry if it came off that way. i'm kinda a smart a** like that lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jova33:
Whenever I set it to max MHz I instantly get a reboot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] albinoman887:
not all phones can handle max. try 2106
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jova33:
Yeah, that's what I ended up doing. Well first I cranked it all the way up, about five times with different CPU apps and five reboots later, then I walked it up each freq to see.

Edit: and why is it that not all phones can handle max frequency? Is it the ROM or are not all S4s created equal?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] manofcolombia:
Impurities in the chipset, not all processors are created equal. That's is to say they can all technically hit the same overclock but only the very good chips can hit a high oc with a low voltage (thus keeping the heat down and less stress on the cpu and Battery) plus pushing an oc too hard with too little or too much voltage can decrease the total life you'll get outa a cpu... I'm sure there's a few differences with arm cpu that I'm not aware of but that's kinda a overview from my knowledge of system building and overclocking for the past few years.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jova33:
Yeah, I didn't flash anything new, and I've rebooted a few times since I flashed this kernel. Just suddenly today I've hit the Samsung custom
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Redflea:
Does this kernel support exFAT? Can you edit the OP to include that information? Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] odub303:
Unless otherwise explicitly stated, you should always assume there is no exfat support in an aosp kernel because exfat is proprietary to Microsoft.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Redflea:
Thanks.

I'm not a big fan of assuming things based on my general life experience.

My curiosity was piqued because Ktoonsez' kernel does have exFAT support and he states that clearly in his thread, and Faux makes a direct statement in his that his kernel doesn't support exFAT. There was a noticeable absence of any comments at all on exFAT in this thread, so I wanted to be sure the lack of mention of exFAT wasn't an oversight. In fact I think it should be included in the OP here as well, obvious to some, of course, but completely opaque to others (both support for exFAT, and even the very existence of exFAT, FAT32, NTFS, etc., I mean). :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] albinoman887:
exFAT was an overlook on my part... and whats up with a custom samsung logo... i noticed some initlogo.rle file that was in your guys boot.img but not mine...thats probably it..what does it look like exactly? it doesnt just say "Samsung" and then galaxy s4 under it? or S4 or whatever their galaxy logo is
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] manofcolombia:
That's what it used to say for a long time then on day after one reboot and no prior flashing that day it changed to samsung custom

then a small unlocked padlock.

I know it's to like say oh you've flashed something to your device so no warranty for you but it just randomly appeared. I was expecting it to appear the boot after I first flashed twrp or rooted or heck even cm but it took weeks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] albinoman887:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] whiteout7942:
I still got the same "unauthorized software" screen on boot. I'm running ktoonsez kernel right now and just flashing yours on top of it, shouldn't be a problem.

OK let me double check but its patched with Loki I'm pretty sure
