3 New Performance Boosters

Hey Everyone,

For those of you who haven't heard I've been using "Koding" as my new kernel build server. Space is very limited with my free account but if you'd like you can click here and signup to help me get more free space. You'll also find that you can learn how to code just about anything (java, html5, php, to name a few). Many developers and adding tutorials and sharing their projects so if you are interested in that stuff make sure to sign up!

I've made two nightlies this morning which need testing. For those of you who were around for my 4.3 you might recall that somewhere along the line there was suddenly a curious SD Card Mounting/Unmounting that would happen after unlocking the phone. I had made so many commits in such a short time frame that I was unsure which one caused the error. I've gone back and added my top three performance improving commits from the questionable series to see if any of these three commits caused the error (I certainly hope they did not, I really hope it was caused by the LZ4 compression and not the performance boosters). Let me know if you see any problems as you use these nightly kernels!!! Remember these are for 4.4 ONLY!!!

Here are the links!

BETA2 For 12/16 CM Nightlies and Beyond

Hey Everyone!

Well Team Chopsticks finally got video working although from what I can tell all of the work was actually all done by our very own [MENTION=2107489]bryan2894[/MENTION] who went and found the patches that fixed the video!!! Great work [MENTION=2107489]bryan2894[/MENTION]!!! Part of this video fix included the kernel so here is an updated kernel with the patch needed. This kernel will only have fixed video on CM 12/16 nightlies and beyond. I bet it might work with earlier but you might as well update if you are a CM user so what's the point?

Anyhow, enjoy the updates!

Cheers!

Cl3Kener

PS since I know someone will ask, This actually does work great with the 12-14 HellKat build since it also has working video because we grabbed the patches from CM before they were merged.

Question: for official CM 11 update, i am currently using recovery CWM 6.0.3.7, because CM officialssaid so or phone will run into problems. but this kernel requires TWRP, i am wondering can i update CM 11 nighlies with the given TWRP recovery?

Please advise. Thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ArtfulDodger:
That stuff is nonsense. The latest TWRP in fact is much better for this phone and flashing this or any other ROM here IMHO. I tested both CWM and TWRP on more than one occasion and results were identical. For me TWRP is also much easier to get into when you have an issue with a new ROM booting and you need to get into recovery via the power & volume up buttons.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Almite:
I've flashed CM11 (my builds) about 10 times in the last month and have been using TWRP 2.6.1.0 since Sept. without issue.

Just don't try to flash TWRP from within GooManager, either flash from recovery or use Odin (best).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mobilis2009:
Since the video recording is working now I moved to CM11 using the [MENTION=5187429]Almite[/MENTION] (Rom) and [MENTION=5105835]Cl3Kener[/MENTION] (Uber 2GHz kernel) and I can tel you this is solid Rock combination in performance and stability even those are still in Nightlies/Beta so thank you all for this amazing team work...

Is it possible to add the BLN notification (I know some don't like it but usually this the feature can be disabled)

Thanks

I'm running hellkat 4.4.2.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Cl3Kener:
I would stick with Diablo for now. A bunch of commits were merged yesterday making the current Kernel incompatible with current cm nightlies. I will merged everything when I get a second and rebuild.

Hey Everyone!

OP has been updated! I built kernels with latest 4.7.4 Linaro toolchain and update ramdisk. Looks like Steve Kondik is working on adding more stuff to the kernel so I might have to update in the near future again but I at least wanted to have a solid release.

I must confess something I sold my Herc to upgrade to the Nexus 5. It was a tough decision but right now I'm loving this N5. I guess what I'm saying is I wasn't able to test these but I'm assuming they work. If they don't work let me know and I'll see what I can do to fix them :)

Fantastic

Everything running smoothly here along with SlimKat still, another great work of art by [MENTION=5105835]Cl3Kener[/MENTION]. I'm using the latest 1.89 GHz kernel and there is slightly smoother performance although the older 2Ghz kernel was doing great as well. I chose the 1.89 version this time since stability becomes iffy over 1782 and I have no intention of OCing to 1998.

Really appreciate these kernels, they improve on the nice ROMs we have for this phone and I am usually not a big fan of stock kernels anyway.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] dennis96411:
I'm using this kernel with SlimKat and the GPS hasn't worked since I started using both (I never used SlimKat without this kernel to begin with). Is it a problem with the kernel or a problem with the ROM?

If you turn your back on the S2, you'll forever be known as a cut-throat traitor! You'll have to answer to the "beast" that is the S2. :-p

I'm kidding but I know the N5 is the holy grail of android. I just refuse to spend $400 on a device that is way more than I need. I am hoping developers will stick around until KitKat is ironed out and stable. Right now if SlimKat gets themes and working camera, along with this kernel, MAYBE I will settle in. Beanstalk is right there too but at least I have it narrowed down now to one or the other instead of trying a million more ROMs.

---------- Post added at 07:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:12 PM ----------

Yeah speaking of traitors I guess I am one myself for leaving Beanstalk but I like to try new things and SlimKat was a ROM I liked early on but was missing a lot of things, including stability. That is no longer the case, I can tell you that. In fact when I restored my apps on the current build it never froze or hung one time. Last build it crashed even trying to install apps.The ROM is so smooth, light and uniform. As I just said in the other post, it's a choice now between that or Beanstalk.

Is this kernel compatible with official cm 11 ? I tried a kernel 2 weeks back with the then latest cm nightly and I got recurring reboots with fresh install. Same issue occurs with current kernel build and cm build...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bobiscool07:
I've never had any problems with this kernel. Are you OC to high? I am using the latest release build, with official CM11 nightly. I've continued to use it, and updated through a dirty flash and then OC to 1.8. Past that it is unstable and will reboot when using a CPU intensive application.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] imanoobfml:
Hey I guess the problem i was having earlier with this kernel were related to the rom i was running. I just flashed on a different rom and it's great. Thanks for another great kernel [MENTION=5105835]Cl3Kener[/MENTION]
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] crazydude10:
No I too used the latest release 1.8 build, with official CM11 nightly. I usually don't get past(phone reboots) the boot animation after installing the new kernel. On subsequent boots the os reboots about 3 mins after the os fully loads.

All this without changing any settings in kernel or os
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Cl3Kener:
Hey Everyone!

OP HAS BEEN UPDATED TO UBER 4.1!!!!

As you might have noticed, the Nexus 5 forum has been teaching me some new tricks. I found out that I hadn't enabled very many TCP Congesion Control options so I made sure to add them to. I've also changed the default from cubic to veno since according to recent research that seems to be not only the rave but most likely the best option for phones.

Here is some info about each option I've added:

CUBIC- This is version 2.0 of BIC-TCP which uses a cubic growth function among other techniques. See http://www.csc.ncsu.edu/faculty/rhee/export/bitcp/cubic-paper.pdf

WESTWOOD- TCP Westwood+ is a sender-side only modification of the TCP Reno protocol stack that optimizes the performance of TCP congestion control. It is based on end-to-end bandwidth estimation to set congestion window and slow start threshold after a congestion episode. Using this estimation, TCP Westwood+ adaptively sets a slow start threshold and a congestion window which takes into account the bandwidth used at the time congestion is experienced. TCP Westwood+ significantly increases fairness wrt TCP Reno in wired networks and throughput over wireless links.

HYBLA- TCP-Hybla is a sender-side only change that eliminates penalization of long-RTT, large-bandwidth connections, like when satellite legs are involved, especially when sharing a common bottleneck with normal terrestrial connections.

VEGAS - TCP Vegas is a sender-side only change to TCP that anticipates the onset of congestion by estimating the bandwidth. TCP Vegas adjusts the sending rate by modifying the congestion window. TCP Vegas should provide less packet loss, but it is not as aggressive as TCP Reno.

VENO - TCP Veno is a sender-side only enhancement of TCP to obtain better throughput over wireless networks. TCP Veno makes use of state distinguishing to circumvent the difficult judgment of the packet loss type. TCP Veno cuts down less congestion window in response to random loss packets. See <http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/freeabs_all.jsp?arnumber=1177186>

YEAH- YeAH-TCP is a sender-side high-speed enabled TCP congestion control algorithm, which uses a mixed loss/delay approach to compute the congestion window. It's design goals target high efficiency, internal, RTT and Reno fairness, resilience to link loss while keeping network elements load as low as possible. For further details look here: http://wil.cs.caltech.edu/pfldnet2007/paper/YeAH_TCP.pdf

ILLINOIS - TCP-Illinois is a sender-side modification of TCP Reno for high speed long delay links. It uses round-trip-time to adjust the alpha and beta parameters to achieve a higher average throughput and maintain fairness. For further details see: http://www.ews.uiuc.edu/~shaoliu/tcpillinois/index.html​

I've also updated the toolchain to the latest linaro from this month! :D

Hope you have a good day and enjoy the new release!

Cheers!

Cl3Kener

PS I'm looking for some feedback as to whether you found any improvement with veno as default. If that is the case I will rebuild my 4.3 and 4.2.2 kernels with veno as default as well. :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ricthot:
I never got vibration working under Hellkat, looks like it's a Rom bug, not related to this kernel. Try the cm11 Rom from ThdDude (same guy doing Hellkat), works fine!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] carandcar:
Same here. That's what happens to me exactly. Full wipes, clean installs, partition wipes, etc. All with the same results. I was thinking it was just me because I see so many folks having success installing the kernels. I am open for suggestions and new things to try. I really would like to see how these kernels perform.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] crazydude10:
and the issue continue for me with v4.1 too. :(
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] imanoobfml:
I figured it was a ROM related issue. I switched to slimKat and it worked fine on it. Hellkats still a bad ass ROM though.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ricthot:
Hellkat is AWESOME, but unfortunately no vibration kills it for me... I'll keep a close eye on future release though, if it gets fixed I'm jumping back on it again!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ArtfulDodger:
This happened to me when using the 4.2 UBER kernel on 4.2 ROMs. You can usually resolve that issue by flashing the kernel again. Vibration will stick after that. Wasn't sure if you meant vibration didn't work on the ROM itself or after you flashed this kernel.

Far as this latest release awesome as always, working like hand in glove with Carbon 4.4.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ricthot:
Well I didn't try another Kernel other than the one compiled within the Hellkat ROM (Diablo 3.0.1) - I'll try this tonight, flashing Hellkat again and then UBER and see if I get vibrations... thanks!
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] Ultimate Chicken:
After upgrading from 1.03 Asia to 1.12 WWE, the phone display insists on formatting my phone numbers (8 digit) like so:

Before (this number is fictional and is provided as an example only):

73123254

After:

(731) 232 - 54

While this does not cause any problems with the phone itself, I would like to restore the formatting to 'none' or change it to something more suited for my region. I can't see any way to do this.

Thanks in advance if you can point me to the correct function or registry value.

Here's the forum for the topic of S4 and Kit Kat.

http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s4-verizon/orig-development

I took a gander and it appears users are doing both (flashing dirty and doing a full data reset) and there is success with both methods. Keep in mind that a data reset is the "cleaner" way to test a ROM. Hope that helps.
[General Questions and Answers] droidzen10:
Thanks for your response...I reflashed the 12/03 build yesterday by doing a dirty flash and everything seems to work fine. The only issue I noticed is my battery life isn't as great as it was with the older build. Not sure whats up with that, but thanks again for your suggestion/tip.
