RECOMMENDED SETTINGS -

This section is intended to provide basic stable profiles that have been tested repeatedly. These profiles would help beginners to get started in the direction they wish to go. Of course they may not be the best in that class. But then no two phones are same so what works for one may not work for others.

Note-

For those who wish to further Battery life, you may do well to visit this thread on Eliminating Google Services Wakelock.

The general process for using these files is as follows.

1. Download the file(s) to your phone. In case of .BIN files, optionally rename as .TXT

2. Copy the file(s) to /SDCARD/KTweaker folder with file Manager of your choice.

3. Open Ktweaker app, click on Import Settings.

4. The file you just copied should be listed there.Choose the one you want to apply.

5. After applying, make sure Set Options on Boot Setting on main Menu of the KTweaker app has a little green text bellow confirming that the settings will be applied upon reboot.

6. Profit !

If you are hungry for more or wish to tinker further, head over to the Team Kernerlizer Threads. Links are given bellow. (Hidden in order to tidy up the thread.)[/COLOR]

Given bellow are some of the tried and tested profiles.

1. Conservative Battery Saver Profile -

Conservative Balanced Settings by @LuigiBull23

Settings File is for AOSP version of the Kernel. Attached to this post - ROW-Balanced_Bull_v2.txt

The battery life for him with these settings can be seen bellow.

I on the other hand had a little bit better luck with my light to moderate use. (Hidden to tidy up the thread).

NOTE - I had accidentally connected the phone to Laptop for a minute or 2 when Battery was at 12 % :p (Fast Charge was ON:p:p).

Do Please note, there is an additional experimental profile called Bless the Child V3 by @LuigiBull23 that Ihave attached bellow. Try if you wish. I will post the results of my test after next Charge Cycle.

2. Extreme UNDERVOLTING PROFILE -

Extreme Undervolting without Lag by @iamikon

NOTE - You may need to up voltage by 50 mV if you continue to experience lag or Freeze.

Settings File for AOSP Version of the Kernel is attached - sionoclevernameaosp.txt

3. Gamer (Or Game intensive) PROFILE -

Thanks to @RErick, here's a good stable setup for those who wish to play Graphic Intensive (Shadowgun DeadZone :D) games on their phones.

Obviously, you won't be expecting outstanding battery life with intense gaming. (Can I get Prius Gas Mileage from a Corvette ?) But if you do, @RErick has graced us with this Profile. Do note this second profile may potentially lag under heavy Graphics.

Thanks Castle. Appreciate the link.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] LuigiBull23:
It's about damn time!! lol I've been waiting for a guide like this that works in correlation to the Ktweaker app.. It will definitely benefit to newcomers as well as current users of this kernel.

Great guide! Thanks buddy :good:

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Rayfucious:
Hi nice work there, but is there any latest settings for tw version ? Or have i missed it ?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
I personally use AOSP Roms. So I can't translate them to Touchwiz. However, I have given the individual setting Values for the Balanced Profile. You can enter these values into KTweaker to get the file.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Rayfucious:
So i can enter the above values into TW version and compatible ? cause i thought aosp kernel settings and tw would be different.

Can't find this 2 settings in ktweaker for tw version though.

up_threshold_hotplug = 80

down_threshold_hotplug = 62

The rest are fine though. Will be trying out and see how it goes.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
Yes Kernel is bit different. But the Schedulers and Governers are implemented identially (well, mostly). So If you enter the values except for those 2, you should be all set.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] flak0:
Those are present in tw

Sent from my SGH-T999
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
I use the AOSP version so I wouldn't know. He said he couldn't find it.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] LuigiBull23:
The only ones you really need to be concerned with are boost_cpu and Battery Mhz Control. You will want to substitute boost_cpu with the touch boosters and battery control settings are located in Governor Adjustments, not Extras.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] dizzle91:
luigi

I am currently trying out your settings but everytime i open ktweaker i get the message, (your saved sceduler/governer adjustments do not match current. Apply adjustments?) Pretty new to the kernel scene and any help would be appreciated.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] LuigiBull23:
Once you've applied the settings just answer "No" for all questions then exist and reenter Ktweaker.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] dizzle91:
Seems to have done the trick..many thanks
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ace2153:
I flashed this kernel this morning my phone is very warm any suggestions?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
It is possible, that you have baseband UVDMD5. That modem is known to generate heat when you have Data Connection open.

As such, your options are

1. Follow and use Luigi's Settings I have posted in earlier post. They are called ROW_BALANCED_BULL_v3. From inside KTweaker App, restore these settings on your phone.

2. Flash a different modem preferably UVDLJC.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Capp5050:
More info please?

Great Guide, thank you!

Since many users are specifically making use of KToonservative governor, can someone (OP?) please explain what each of the Governor Adjustments does and the e.g., the impact of a positive + or negative - change on a variable?

From reading this and other posts, I think I've picked up on about half of them, but there are a few (esp. related to some of the multicore stuff) that I can't find information on.

I love the kernel, I love the governor, but I've been experiencing frustrating lag on my TW ME7 build at times. Since everyone's setup is different, I'm hesitant to just post "hey, I'm experiencing lag what should I do?". Instead, I'd like to fully understand the parameters and tweak myself, hopefully eliminating my issues.

Recognizing that many tweaks (e.g., at what % utilization does the next frequency kick in) have performance/battery implications, it would be great to find the balance that works precisely for me - I just need a bit more info to do so.

PS - The reference in the OP to another member's post reveals info on only a couple of additional KToonservative parameter, and I think it might refer to an earlier version before there were 4 cores available.

Thanks!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
Thanks for the detailed post. I particularly appreciate your intent to try and help yourself.

As far as Ktoonservative Governer goes, its a derivative of the Conservative governer. So I didn't explicitly spell out Configurable parameters of Ktoonservative. But you have a good point about my reference. I will update the Op and try to add more details on config Parameters. I was waiting for request like this to add more specific details.

EDIT - Post 7 is being updated. Will continue to add more. You can see current state.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Capp5050:
Awesome! I wonder if the TW version uses some slightly different config variables than the AOSP? For example, in the KToonsez governor, there is no 'Boost CPU' and 'Boost GPU' as you currently have described (or maybe that's still an older version?)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
It is quiet possible. However, do please note, I recently upgraded to the Android 4.3 version. Hence I also have that kernel on my phone. It is possible that this setting is not yet on Touchwiz as Touchwiz is not 4.3
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] castle_bravo:
Touchwiz and aosp definitely have different parameters. I'm always on touchwiz so I'm sorry that I can't spell out specifically which are different but I know for a certainty that they are a few different parameters.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Capp5050:
Not sure of the differences, but here are the TW variables for 4.2:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
You have a Quad Core phone there, its not Qualcomm SoC but rather Samsung's SoC. When the hardware changes, Governer's settings would change accordingly.

I on the other hand have a Dual Core Qualcomm Soc just like the ATT version.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Capp5050:
...yeah, I guess I wasn't thinking about that (should have noticed the S3 thread title). I hadn't discovered KToonsez' kernels until I got my S4. :o
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
Happens to the best of us Bro. No harm done.

and one more for the road..

This thread deserves some recognition. It's time I start spreading the word again.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Danvdh:
What an amazing guide man, thanks for this
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
Thanks [MENTION=4830253]Danvdh[/MENTION] for the kind words.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] macgregger:
hey Luigi,

i read somewhere on the actual kernel thread that you have a v4 for your row balanced bull settings. is this correct? can you share?

i have v3 from this thread applied and battery life is awesome. just wondering if there were any major improvements.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
His Row Balanced V4 is for Galaxy S4. I have translated it. Will update the post once done testing. For future reference, he usually posts his files on this thread.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] LuigiBull23:
Thanks Perseus. [MENTION=5431402]macgregger[/MENTION] is correct. I do have v4 but is currently in TK's Box folder. I have not updated my thread yet but will do so as soon as I can.

ROW Balanced Bull v4

https://copy.com/YsEFM
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] macgregger:
thanks guys. so to confirm, this is translated for the GS3?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] LuigiBull23:
No. This is the official one I had done specifically for the GS3. Just a few minor improvements from v3.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
[MENTION=5082757]LuigiBull23[/MENTION], thanks for letting me know. Been forgetting your Box Folder. My apologies. I will grab that profile and update the post above.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] LuigiBull23:
Don't we all forget.. You guys just triggered my memory over the fact that I haven't even updated my OP with v4. but given that my thread is now dead and buried I figured no one would pester me for it anyways.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jantonio23:
Can I use it in S4?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] LuigiBull23:
No. Use the one from my S4 thread.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jantonio23:
Thanks.. I'm still wondering though on how did you turn off the other two cores? I already read the settings guide (and even the adjustments done on your profile) but I still can't crack what settings you tweaked to accomplish this.

Mind pointing me on the right direction?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
A magician doesn't reveal his secrets ! :)

Seriously speaking, he along with profile, also gives setting details on the governor and therein lies your answer.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] LuigiBull23:
All 3 cores are set to come online on demand and due to it's high thresholds will happen under very high load. I only have cpu0 set to boost upon screen touch so the others remain off.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jantonio23:
Ah okay.. I really thought it's a single core profile coz I have yet to see the other 3 cores activate. Anyway, huge thanks man!

Your profile is the smoothest I've ever used with insane battery saving capability, I was able to pull off almost 6 hrs (5 hrs average) screentime with wifi always on.

PS: Whenever I turn on the 'Auto Hotplug' option, I can see the other 3 cores being active.. any reasons why? It seems the high thresholds are being bypassed by this option.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] LuigiBull23:
Thanks man. You had mentioned reading through the guide in your OP, yes? Well based on the knowledge you've obtained thanks to all the essential and convenient information provided here on the thread, the Ktweaker Shop will be expecting you to apply that knowledge by delivering your own original setup in the near future. :)

EDIT: Leave auto hotplug off. Ktoonservative(q) has integrated hotplug and enabling auto hotplug will just deactivate stand hotplug logic. This goes for any hotplug enabled governor. Only use that feature for non-hotpluggling governors.

4.3 Touchwiz

I am on a T-999 and i just flashed a touchwiz 4.3 Rom. Can i flash this kernel onto my phone again? if so which one do i download?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
If you flashed the Leaked 4.3 Rom from Doc Holliday's thread then you can not use this kernel. It is not compatible yet. If you flashed some other rom, please specify its thread or name & Version.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ubuntujason:
Hey all. This is the third different phone I've used this amazing kernel on. I've used the guide and trial and error to learn.

On ask the other installs, i had oc'ed the cpu for when my phone was charging. It always worked like a charm. BUT, ur doesn't seem to work now. (I'm on my charger right now and it says in the tweak program i am underclocked by 1 step, when i should be overclocked by two steps while charging)

I am using the koontzervative (sp? Sorry) governer, row scheduler (noop scheduler when the screen is off) and undervolted by 10.

ALso running cm 10.2 android 4.3

Any ideas? I probably missed it in rereading this great thread ...

Thanks

~J
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
Are you overclocled or Undervolted ? The Red Text I quoted seems to say you did undervolt. Also have you specified different settings for when Charging ?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ubuntujason:
Perseus71~

While unplugged, I am underclocked [by 1 step]. When on the charger, I am overclocked by 2 steps. At all times I am undervolted by 10. I was under the impression I could do both undervolt AND overclock ... As a side point, I also have set it to throttle WAY back when my battery falls below xx%, and I tested that last nite, and it worked [the throttling back due to low battery].

Thanks

~J
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
Yes you can Overclock and undervolt at the same time. That's going to work fine. However , do please understand that whatever you set under the Extras section will override what you set in General Section. That's the way it has been designed.

I am not too particular from your previous post, about what you the issue is and what is exactly set under all settings of Extra Section. Please specify what you have modified in that section.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ubuntujason:
Perseus71~

First off, thanks for being patcient with me and trying to help! I very much appreciate that :)

Okay, the extra menu options are set as followed [if I omit a setting option, it means it was NOT changed from default]

Screen Off: 378Mhz

Disabled when on a call: Enabled [funny one there, to disabled the profile when on a call you must enable the option lol]

Screen off Profile Scheduler: noop

Charging Min Mhz: 594

Charging Max MHz: 1728 Mhz

Vibration : 45

Internal Read Ahead: 512

External Read Ahead: 1024

Trinity Colors: Cool

Congestion Control: Reno

On The GENERAL Options:

Enabled OC Steps: Checked

Min: 486

Max: 1458

I/O: row

Governor: Ktoonservative

Auto Hot Plug: Checked [I have tried both ways and it doesn't make a difference, so I keep it checked in case I change governors]

Hope that answers your question and helps :)

~j
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
Ok now would you please post exactly what message you see while charging in the General Screen ? Your first post isn't clear on that.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ubuntujason:
When I have it on the charger, nothing in the general screen changes. The frequencies remain the same ... min. 486 / max 1458 [despite the charging profile being over clocked]

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
Can you uninstall the Ktweaker app and then try Trickster Mod or some other app to do what KTweaker was doing. See if the results are different ?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ubuntujason:
I have always used the kTweaker app, I was not aware you could safely uninstall it. At least I assume that I can uninstall it without having to change my kernel?

What is the Trickster Mod? A free tweaking program is what I assume it is. Does it require anything that kTweaker does not? [ie Xposed Framework or another mod]

Thanks

~j

ps I will be very slow to reply until Monday probably. i will try to get on, but I help run a Christmas Charity and we are distributing the presents for the youngsters in my community wed-fri and I have family, out of town family, here this weekend. during lulls in activity Ill try and check :0
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
Trickster Mod can be a replacement to Ktweaker. Its a paid app that offers Demo version. To my knowledge it is self contained. It or any other Kernel Tweaker can not co-exist with KTweaker.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jorceshaman:
I have the donate version installed with Ktweaker. I wouldn't say they can't co-exist, just don't use both to tweak the same settings?

I only use Trickster Mod for volume boosting though so maybe that's why I haven't encountered issues.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] scott7175:
I know its per user basis but do you feel trickster is better then ktoonz tweaker
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
Not really. When it comes to Kernel control, Ktweaker does do a better job of accessing finer controls and features of KTweaker. But then Trickster being a paid app, it does have its share of other controls such as sound. So I'd say they both are balanced. Since I don't care for listening to music on my phone, I use KTweaker.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] scott7175:
See I paid for faux sound and use it for my music need with kt and it works great thanks for the heads up man
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ubuntujason:
Persus71

Dude im so sorry, i totally forgot to post an update.

Not sure what i did, but my problem got solved! It works how i wanted note, the oc when plugged in works :)

I do have another q though now ... I read something about making sure that if you set different governors for screen on/screenoff, make sure they're "compatible"

It's the a list of one's that can sit be paired together?

~j
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
Typically you will have to try the combo. For ex, those that are based on same underlying principle are less likely to cause grief. Ex. Conservative and Ktoonzervative are compatible. Others have tried Governers that are quick to ramp down on Screen off. You can have hair trigger Governers for Ramp up upon screen on.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Shallwhat:
So I used the settings for ROW Balanced Bull v3 and haven't noticed much of a difference in my battery. Thinking maybe I need to purchase a new battery though. I purchased Better Battery Stats but I'm not sure how to read everything .. I'm still new to all this. I'm running a stable version of CM. Running 4.3.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
Its not a pure Battery Saver. But more like balanced performance. Analyze your BBS Log.

Don't know exactly how you use the phone or what you're trying to accomplish ( performance or battery or balanced )

A ton of them are really good profiles but the two I seem to keep coming back to are Rebirthing and Whispers in The Dark. Check them out both give me great performance and battery life. Also the Deaf by April profile and script work really well together and great battery life.

Hello, can anyone tell me what the button on the top right of the widget does? I have no idea. The one that says S2W, DT2, etc...
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
Which widget is that? I just tried but didn't see any
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Pariah24:
The 4x2 widget, the largest of the three
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
I have 06-01-2014 Version of the Kernel and I really don't have such a button on that widget.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Mike B.:
S2W= Swipe to Wake

That setting is also available in the "Miscellaneous" section of Ktweaker.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
Swipe2Wake does not work with the S3.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Mike B.:
... but the option still appears. I never used S2W or the widget. My KTweaker is tweaked the way I like it... ;)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
That's as KT said, was for another era when Prior Galaxy Models (S2) had all capacitive buttons.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Pariah24:
I finally figured it out. Instead of a check box for Swipe2Wake, my widget has a box that toggles multiple options: S2W/S2WC/DT2W/DT2WC/Both/BothC/Dis

I couldn't for the life of me figure out what the hell it was but I was able to piece it together when you mentioned Swipe2Wake. I assume it's Swipe2Wake/Swipe2Wake Charging/DoubleTap 2 Wake/DoubleTap 2 Wake Charging/Both/Both Charging/Disabled
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Mike B.:
Yup, that's the one. I'm on 4.3 TW right now and I have a checkbox AND a clickable SW2/SWP ( Swipe2Wake / Swipe2Wake when Plugged In?) caption. That's not exactly intuitive but then I had never paid attention to that widget until you brought it up. I'll probably keep ignoring it... ;)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Pariah24:
I don't understand why Double tap 2 wake is on my widget but there's no setting in the UI. Guess it doesn't matter, I'd never want to use it and I don't think I can on the S3 anyway
