Sry for my ignorance, but was the base before, and what is the reason behind the change?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] rachanta:
[MENTION=603659]cocchiararo[/MENTION] - Actually, just for kicks. L11.2 is too stable and difficult to update. Once I am firmly on a cm base, it may become easier to maintain because of the steady stream of updates.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] pianistaPL:
Where is L11.2? :D

---------- Post added at 02:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:20 PM ----------

Edit, ok, I see now this is yet unreleased build :)
[Nexus 5 Android Development] rachanta:
New Build - RACER_L11.2

Pl go to OP for link ;)
[Nexus 5 Android Development] rachanta:
You can call this RACER caf if you like

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95887005526790057

Almost there cyanogen mod based.

Racer_l12.0_caf_20150112

RACER_L12.0_20150112 - preview - for feedback on performance and battery life

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95897840722640997

Pl do try and let me know. It has all user features that RACER L11.2 has and benchmarked Antutu 45826 starting from CPU temp 40C.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] pianistaPL:
Which ROM do you use along with Racer CAF?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] rachanta:
[MENTION=4496256]pianistaPL[/MENTION] - any Lollipop ROM is OK. RACER follows, any kernel system, so it uses the ROM's ramdisk. I use AICP (main), FRANK, Simple, Optipop and CM12.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] albenex:
Installed on CM12 latest nightly. Everything seem working fine and battery's greater life.

However I couldn't get working s2w/dt2w along with power-key toggle.

By using Kcontrol I enabled s2w/dt2w features but shutting off screen by using power-key button DOES NOT disable these.

Also tried under latest synapse (+ukm3.6) but same behaviour .

What can I do? I don't mind about other settings.. Is there any simple way in order to the same without troubling with kernel control apps? Thanks
[Nexus 5 Android Development] rachanta:
No such problem here. Synapse has this setting. Try my latest build. It should cover you even better battery life:

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95897840722641304
[Nexus 5 Android Development] rachanta:
Fully loaded, latest effort to be tested. This is on par with L11.2 in terms of features and tweaks. Returns Antutu 45320 with latest Frank:

[Nexus 5 Android Development] pianistaPL:
[MENTION=1863016]rachanta[/MENTION]

I'm on L12.4. Should be CPU boost disabled? It was enabled for example in L11.x builds
[Nexus 5 Android Development] pianistaPL:
After 2 hours if using L12.4, I get sometimes 'few seconds lags' in scrolling or when I open recent apps. On L11.2 everything was perfectly smooth.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] rachanta:
LOL!, I don't see this in my phone on L11.2 or L12_1.0, in Synapse/CPU, but in both cases event boost settings are available in Synapse/Hotplug.

I am on Synapse 0.39
[Nexus 5 Android Development] rachanta:
Haven't tried with kitkat of late
[Nexus 5 Android Development] szucsgf:
Newest build feels perfectly smooth to me, including recents and scrolling.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] pianistaPL:
I'm going to try out newest build in few hours.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] rachanta:
Try this, its a few commits ahead:

[Nexus 5 Android Development] pianistaPL:
Hmm, but I see new build https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95897840722641968 And you linked to earlier build, I'm confused what I should install :D
[Nexus 5 Android Development] rachanta:
Don't want to confuse you with a third choice, but I think I have the next release fit for living from op. It did three consecutive no break runs of 44+, 42+ and 43+ before rebooting. Torture performance test.[emoji83]

[Nexus 5 Android Development] Smackeroni:
Can i only change wake gesture time out in Synapse? I have trouble getting Synapse to work. UCI error. or is there any good app to control wake time out?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] rachanta:
For Synapse,

Get init.d support by installing this:

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95784891001609456

Install permissive boot image from here: (if settings dont stick)

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95784891001609904

Install UKM from here:

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95832962473399374

This should take care of UCI error and Synapse should work for setting wake gesture and timeout.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] szucsgf:
Kernel panic on 12.1, in case that sort of report is interesting to you.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/i27nh3gco2viuic/last_kmsg?dl=0

I'm not concerned, probably just random.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] rachanta:
True and it may undergo changes until I am satisfied that it can be released ;)
[Nexus 5 Android Development] rachanta:
Of course this is useful. I have removed commits that could have caused kernel panic and am testing :good:

[Nexus 5 Android Development] pianistaPL:
I forgot to reply [emoji14] Can you post screenshot from your Synapse CPU section? Are you sure that you dont't have there "CPU Boost Driver"?

The two shots dated today are for CPU panel. The third one is the event boost settings in HOTPLUG panel.

Input and Event boost are same AFAIK.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Jleeblanch:
I have this section in Synapse and can tweak the settings as desired...
[Nexus 5 Android Development] fabio000:
I'm not being able to set minimum cpu frequency and max screen off cpu frequency anything below 1190mhz using elementalx app in L12, everything works fine in L11.2

the options bellow 1190 show up, but if I select any of then, the frequency goes to something between 1190 and 1497

I'm not sure, but this may be a throttling problem? when I saw this issue the CPU temp was high (~70) and de max cpu frequency still was 2260mhz

I'm sorry for not having any logs, I had already downgraded to L11.2
[Nexus 5 Android Development] pianistaPL:
How is this possible that we have other settings in Synapse? [emoji14]
[Nexus 5 Android Development] rachanta:
[MENTION=2758441]fabio000[/MENTION] - no such problem here. with Synapse. 960MHz setting sticks after reboot.

Any chance this build will get back s2s?

Thanks
[Nexus 5 Android Development] cocchiararo:
what do you mean?

Last build i tried was 11.2 and that worked, and on this build it works too.

was it broken in between? (for me, it is enabled without me doing anything, and the WAKE feature is disabled by default)
[Nexus 5 Android Development] lifeisfun:
Thanks for reply, I have asked about this yesterday but didn't get any reply, s2w was working fine when I upgraded to the previous version but s2s didn't.

Tried on 2 different n5 phones but both behaved the same way.

Both using Frank 10.5 and Trickster mod.

[Nexus 5 Android Development] rachanta:
S2s only works, with setting like this.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] rachanta:
Event boost is in Synapse/ Hotplug like before.

Yeah, I never had this problem with version 10.

I'll try with synapse instead of TricksterMod

[Nexus 5 Android Development] rachanta:
A lot of possibly useless commits in L series have been eliminated. Defconfig is more comprehensive. I expect cynogenmod has ensured that there is no junk and only what is necessary had been added beyond lollipop release.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] rachanta:
Any feedback? Anyone?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] cryingrock:
The kernel has all I need, smooth and battery friendly. The minimum brightness is higher than the previous versions.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Jleeblanch:
Your latest kernel is running great for me! Its been about a day an a half, battery life seems good so far and everything is running smooth as usual! In my opinion, its a perfect addition to the AICP nightly's :)
[Nexus 5 Android Development] cocchiararo:
i see nothing worse than in 11.2 with the new kernel in the op.

slim governor is the new default?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] rachanta:
Yes, slim is default, less conservative than smartmax_eps.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] rachanta:
I run AICP ROM myself.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Jleeblanch:
I've been running AICP nightly's since some time in Dec, before that stock Lollipop, and I've used your kernel most of the time, since 5.0 came out anyway.

Honestly, I tried out Code Blue for a couple days, but I wasn't personally happy with it. I couldn't break a 38 hundred score in Antutu. Plus I just wasn't happy with it overall. Big different in how my device ran versus your kernel. Antutu is a guaranteed 43-46+ hundred every time and overall it just runs better, period.

[Nexus 5 Android Development] FunkyRasta:
[MENTION=1863016]rachanta[/MENTION]

Finally had time to test new CM based build and so far I can say it is no less stable and smooth than AOSP previous version ! :)

I have one question, in Synapse in CPU section there is CPU Boost Driver and in HOTPLUG there is Event Boost checkbox and set-up. BUT CPU Boost Driver already contains Input Boost interface ! Changing clock values in one doesn't change the other so they are not linked. What should we use and what works the best ?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] pianistaPL:
I'm confused with these settings too. CPU boost driver wasn't visible in Synapse in AOSP builds.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] FunkyRasta:
Yeah , and something is wrong with the hotplug too...

Cores for nearly all the time stay on, freqs are high no matter how low is load. Changing governors and hotplug settings do not help :( screenshots are on 100 percent stock settings.

But this is to be expected with entirely new build based on different codebase, it will be better with time ;)
[Nexus 5 Android Development] rachanta:
[MENTION=5106530]FunkyRasta[/MENTION]

[MENTION=4496256]pianistaPL[/MENTION]

Event boost (Synapse/CPU) and Input Event boost (Kcontrol/MPDec/Simple Settings) are same and their settings change in tandem.

In my phone - Synapse, there is no CPU Boost in CPU section, only Event Boost in Hotplug section, and I have done clean install with data wipe at least once with CM1.0 build.

What I have as mentioned above has been consistent for some builds (I did not notice this as a change from L series to CM series), across many installs with ROM change / without ROM change.

Though I have changed to CM base, I see no difference when I run Frank or Simple AOSP. Battery Life remains good and Antutu benchmarks remain > 45000 with Frank, Simple AOSP and AICP ROMs. AFAIK, this is because of the any kernel template I follow.

Edit: I just checked, there is no difference in any of the above setting between CM1.0 and L11.2 ;)
[Nexus 5 Android Development] rachanta:
I just noticed that you need to let the screen go off and then touch, to see this effect.

If max cores =1, min cores =1 only one core's frequency gets boosted with touch.

If max cores=2, min cores=1 two cores get boosted

If max cores=3, min cores=1 three cores get boosted

So I think everything is perfect. :D
[Nexus 5 Android Development] pianistaPL:
[MENTION=1863016]rachanta[/MENTION]

So, if I see CPU Boost Driver settings in Synapse, shouldn't change anything in this section, right?As I wrote earlier, my CPU Driver settings as default are like on the screenshot:
[Nexus 5 Android Development] FunkyRasta:
I think this is caused by dirty install. After rollback to 11.2 version I still had this section. Use UKM unnistall zip, unnistall Synapse, flash kernel, then UKM and Synapse. It should be good by then. Will see
[Nexus 5 Android Development] pianistaPL:
I always do clean install, ALWAYS :D So I don't think this is because of dirty install.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] rachanta:
[MENTION=4496256]pianistaPL[/MENTION]

If Event boost settings are not available in Synapse/Hotplug you can change these settings and verify with another kernel app. As I mentioned earlier, I see the Input Event boost settings in Kcontrol/MPDec/Simple Settings.

Btw, I hope your Synpase is from Google Play Store and not an apk. Mine is Synapse 0.39 and from Play Store.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] pianistaPL:
Of course, Synapse v0.39 from Play Store.

---------- Post added at 07:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:01 PM ----------

Btw [MENTION=1863016]rachanta[/MENTION]

I see Event boost in Synapse too.

You know what, I will try other thing - I will delete Synapse folder from sdcard, also I will do again clean install of ROM and kernel. Will see.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] pianistaPL:
[MENTION=1863016]rachanta[/MENTION]

I'm giving up :D I had free time and I COMPLETELY wiped sdcard + full wipe, so ROM was totally clean.

The I've installed RastaPop, F2FS-EXT4-Lollipop-Kernel-Cl3Kener-Kexec-Permissive.zip ( https://s.basketbuild.com/filedl/de...Lollipop-Kernel-Cl3Kener-Kexec-Permissive.zip, that's because I use f2fs on data and cache), latest Racer kernel, Gapps, SuperSu 2.40, UKM 3.6.1.

And I still have CPU Boost Driver settings, and it seems default they are completely disabled (look at my screeshot above). But in Hotplug section I can see enabled Event Boost so it seems everything is right.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] FunkyRasta:
Yup, same here.

Absolutely clean install of latest CM nightlie. Let it boot , install kernel and UKM. After boot installed Synapse and this section is still there (first screenshot) , and as I said before changing clocks in it won't change clocks in Hotplug Section and vice versa.

Second problem is that no matter what governor and settings, frequiencies stay at high values and cores stay on even when load is below 10 percent (see second screenshot) ---> battery running out fast like hell.

Both of these problems don't exist in previous relase.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] pianistaPL:
[MENTION=5106530]FunkyRasta[/MENTION] Are your Cpu boost driver settings default as on screenshot or you changed values manually?

---------- Post added at 10:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:23 PM ----------

Btw [MENTION=1863016]rachanta[/MENTION] Linaro 4.9 2015.01 is up :) And If you want to play a little with other optimizations, you can look at Uber kernel and its -Ofast optimizations instead of -03 and Graphite optimizations.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] rachanta:
This build had cm+features only. Looks like its time to add some CPU related commits from my previous work.

I am already using 4.9.3 Linaro cortex. About O3 vs Ofast, I need to study this a bit more before I make changes.

What beats me is why I have everything running perfectly, with high Antutu + great battery live.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] szucsgf:
Yup, racer is beating the pants off the "big name" kernels in my opinion. Definitely top tier in performance, and no complaints about the battery.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Jleeblanch:
Everything is running great for me too. I wonder tho, I've noticed that if you don't flash the permissive boot image from the OP, that it will cause some of the complaints mentioned.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] rachanta:
I will check this. For me permissive boot is part of the process.

Edit: changed to selinux enforcing. I see no change. Everything looks as good as before, but still testing.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] nick123ablxx32:
does anyone have a more recent AICP mirror? my download is currently at 12.5 kbps (probably the wrong place to ask)
[Nexus 5 Android Development] rachanta:
Test build

I made changes to kernel thread workers, scheduler, workqueue, high resolution timer, clock, stop-machine etc and have brought these aspects on par with L11.0, the most advanced aosp build I made (11.2 was actually buggy).

CM2.0 test build: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95897840722645810

I see that kcontrol/mpdec/input event boost or synapse/hotplug/event boost is here to stay. Again I have no input boost in synapse/cpu.

The build is super smooth and has Antutu >46247, 46466 in successive runs with a 5 minute stop in between the two runs. This makes it my best build ever as far as benchmarks are concerned. Moreover the last few builds, caused Antutu to crash at least once before successful runs. There was no such crash this time. So this build is stabler than CM1.0 for sure.

[MENTION=4496256]pianistaPL[/MENTION] and [MENTION=5106530]FunkyRasta[/MENTION]

Please test with this synapse (the version I have from play store. it is possible that the synapse apk is different for different markets)

my synapse apk - install like any other apk

[Nexus 5 Android Development] pianistaPL:
I still have cpu boost driver settings in CPU with new version :D But I don't care - kernel is super fast :)
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Dema1995:
Awesome kernel, thank you.. :)

Just one problem, when I try to apply a color profile with display control I have a FC..can I solve this problem? Both with cm1.0 and cm2.0..
[Nexus 5 Android Development] FunkyRasta:
Kernel is super fast due to freqs and cores goin mad, this can be somewhat solved by pulling all sliders to the left in CPU Boost Driver section in Synapse. Then behaviour of cores and freqs is similiar to L11.2 relase --> battery is not being killed fast. On stock settings even when idling nearly all cores are on and freqs are > 1728 Mhz ! Disabling this CPU boost driver is the remedy, let the schedulers do their job . For Input Boost a.k.a Project Butter use Input Boost checkbox in Hotplug section as this works as intended and does not make your CPU go rampage.

I still have this boost section in Synapse, even after clean install with your [MENTION=1863016]rachanta[/MENTION] Synapse apk. Latest official Cm nightlie.

But still cores are supper happy to turn on even with Slow setting in Kcontrol. Hmm maybe CM Hotplug messes something up, but I'm in no position to answer this I have not looked into code and [MENTION=1863016]rachanta[/MENTION] must have removed it because kernel is on show-p1983 Hotplug.

---------- Post added at 01:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:44 PM ----------

No problem here using Synapse, try other apps :)
[Nexus 5 Android Development] rachanta:
CPU boost in Synapse/CPU is spoiling all the fun. I don't know how this shows up in a few cases, but understanding this seems to be important.

Edit: I think FunkyR has shown the way here.

[MENTION=5106530]FunkyRasta[/MENTION] [MENTION=4496256]pianistaPL[/MENTION]

Please test this build. cpu-boost driver has been removed from the code. Sorry this was not done. earlier, but I have no way of checking for its removal as it never showed up in Synapse/CPU for me.

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95897840722645906
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Jleeblanch:
It is for me too. Before I flash your kernel, I always flash the permissive boot image first...

My steps are as follows. Maybe some of its not needed, but to properly test, I feel its the best way.

Step 1: I clear Data in Synapse, then reboot into recovery, dirty flash ROM (I do this every time a new AICP nightly is released) and wipe caches, then reboot system and let it load.

Step 2: reboot back into recovery, flash the permissive boot image and wipe caches again, and reboot system

Step 3: reboot back into recovery, flash your kernel, wipe caches, flash UKM 3.6.1 zip, then reboot system.

Doing the above, I don't have any of the problems with frequency's sticking unless I skip the step of flashing the permissive boot image.

On another note, everyone says they're using Synapse version 0.39, which is the version from the Play Store found here.

But what about the Universal Kernel Manager zip (UKM zip)? I've noticed some of you said you were using the latest version 3.6 but the latest version is actually 3.6.1. According to the Changelog for v3.6.1 it says

I wonder if those of you who aren't seeing the CPU Boost section are still using UKM v3.6 vs using UKM v3.6.1?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] pianistaPL:
With UKM v3.6.1 and Racer kernel based on AOSP (L11.2 and earlier) I don't have Cpu boost driver in Synapse.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] rachanta:
Cpu-boost is from the cm base. It has been removed in the last build posted for you. Pl check.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] pianistaPL:
I know, I will check it later :)
[Nexus 5 Android Development] rachanta:
Thanks to [MENTION=5106530]FunkyRasta[/MENTION]'s feedback I know problem is solved.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] pianistaPL:
Cool! :)

Are you going to release OP build?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Jleeblanch:
I can also confirm that the second kernel you posted today DOES remove the CPU Boost settings from Synapse. The first Kernel you posted today HAD those settings in Synapse.

So great work on the kernel, keep it up! This is one of many reasons I stay with this kernel because you address the issues, no matter how minor or major, and update often! Besides the obvious being that it runs great!
[Nexus 5 Android Development] rachanta:
