I'll test them on the T5 as well :thumbup:

Oh and guys, don't rely on those synthetic benchmarks for performance evaluation too much, there are just so many factors influencing them (e.g. ROM, background apps etc.) that they are really fluctuant in their results. You can run it several times on the same setup and may end up with quite widely spead results.

Rather go by how well your heavy apps are performing in general use, imho that is a much better indicator for general performance.
[Micromax A116] malick186:
Yes but there is one more problem! :laugh: :laugh:

why do we need to replace the RAMDISK if wanted to use this awsome kernel with cm11? Is it possible to build universal kernel??? :confused: ;)
[Micromax A116] neomanu:
Seems to be limited to your device alone. Scores are low overall. No idea why.

Not possible really, framework is different.

And its a quick 2-minute procedure.

Anyway, I don't plan on releasing frequent updates because kernel is quite stable now.

Will update for bug-fixes and new features.
[Micromax A116] harisaduelite:
Very nice development OP keep up the good work +1. Also, can you tell what all features are WIP for this project? I know OC is not possible for MT 6589 so what can we be looking forward to in this awesome kernel?
[Micromax A116] neomanu:
Firstly, thank you.

Most of the best features are limited to Qualcomm devices.

I'm hunting for features to integrate. Most have already been implemented.

If users want to see a particular feature, please use 'Feature Requests' at the top of the page.

Right now, I plan on releasing zRAM for KK devices.
[Micromax A116] harisaduelite:
All the best bro :thumbup:
[Micromax A116] ankit jaggi:
I will try it 2 bro...all the best :)
[Micromax A116] neomanu:
Test builds

Test builds

For

new hardware only

, old already tested.

Test both builds.

Check for stable graphics. NenaMark2 scores will show increase or decrease in performance.

Report which one works, and if possible, current score with 286 build, and with provided builds.
[Micromax A116] Shangalisto:
The OC @ 312 Mhz is working in new hardware !... but not with 357 Mhz :(
[Micromax A116] akshay961:
Kernel not changing!

I am on Collossus Rom cmahendra and i tried flashing your kernel first time after coming to this ROm.

I am flashing the Zip in TWRP 2.7 and its showing all done there

But when i come to About Phone its still the old kernel only.

I am on new hardware was thinking of trying 312 and 357 for you!! please tell me whats the issue!
[Micromax A116] neomanu:
Which file did you flash?

Also attach a screenshot of About Phone after flashing.
[Micromax A116] Shangalisto:
Can you make a patch with a frequency between 312 and 357 Mhz for test pls ? 330 for example
[Micromax A116] harisaduelite:
Hi OP since the kernel has reached stability, I needed to know the screenshots you have posted showing 60 fps on nenamark which is too impressive. I needed to know the exact configuration of your device on which you have tested the benchmarks and it would be great if you also share which version of GPU OC you used. And pls share your review of overall usage on the device because such info will indeed be helpful for the users. And like always +1 for your impressive hard work :good:
[Micromax A116] neomanu:
Not really.

There are fixed steps. And a small step won't really make a difference in performance.

Default configuration with stock 4.2.1 ROM & GPU @ 403 KHz.

Hotplug CPU Governor and FIOPS I/O scheduler with 1024 readahead.

32 GB Class 6 SDcard.

Overall operation is quite smooth.

Apps/games work lag-free.

Games much smoother at 403 KHz.
[Micromax A116] GroovyG:
V1.1 munches through my battery in just under 4 hours, v1.0 gives me almost twice that. Same usage profile of course, but i'll stick with 1.0, it's simply amazing :)
[Micromax A116] harisaduelite:
Thanks bro looking forward to using your kernel with more super features and using my Canvas HD for more years to come :good:
[Micromax A116] malick186:
my experience

I know that both of the GPU OC provided is for the new hardware, but i tried it on my old hardware! :p

Since I am running the old hardware both OC versions should decrease my GPU performance! But that doesn't happened! Only GPU oc 357 decreases the performance. The GPU OC 312 neither increased nor decreased the gpu performance. The 312 scored like stock gpu modules but it gives me far better and smooth fps in my fav game asphlat 8. previously i tried to played in medium graphics but it lags alot and was bearely playable! After flashing 312 it gots better and less laggy under same settings! Anything special about the 312 or its just......... :D :D

Sharing the screenshots of antutu score (one of my best using custom kernels) and nena mark 2(I ran nenamark for the first time in my life) :cool:
[Micromax A116] harisaduelite:
I was testing an App called GameBench and after installing it says Mediatek chipset detected and systrace not enabled please ask kernel/rom developr to enable it. I just wanted to ask can this be enabled in Neokernel?

Your Antutu score is quite impressive no doubt :good: Among the best i would say

I'm having a strange issue.

Tried installing it on CM11 v 0.7 and then later 0.8.... It just refuses to go past the boot animation screen....

Tried all sorts of combinations like restarting phone, wiping cache / dalvik etc... but nothing.... It just gets stuck there forever....

I'm on old hardware so used v1...
[Micromax A116] malick186:
Yo need to replace the ramdisk. Read the FAQ's in post no.1 how to do it. OR Goto post 29 Thanks Sk.d for changing the ramdisk for cm11 users :angel: here is the link for your ease: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=53340131&postcount=29

You can flash NeoKernel_v1.1_GPU-286KHz.zip its for both old and new hardware bcoz its having stock GPU modules

Try to search the thread before posting questions it saves your time and keeps the thread clean. ;)
[Micromax A116] gregferns:
Thanks for your comments dude .... and just in the OP is the fact where you asked SKD to make one for you as you didnt know how to do it and when he asked for the boot.img for that, i was the one who uploaded it....

And then you link me to the same post where incidentally SKD has replied to my post !!!!! Gr8....

Deep sleep issue

When i keep my phone idea for more than 1hour or two my phone doesnt wake up . i tried your kernel v1 i didnt have this have this issue sometimes but in your kernel v1.1oc yesterday i was having this issue bugged my phone full day i tried to reflash the kernel v1.1 oc then tried flashing v1.1 non oc version but still had this issue i am using SLD -ultimate V3 rom . i back to kash kernel 2.7 i didnt have this problem till know its past 5 hours . rele i want to come back to your oc kernel it is awsme and have been very stable till i didnt get this deep sleep issue i was using your kernel v 1.0 for last 3 day but all of sudden 2morw i got this issue when i tried to flash kernel v1.1 My phone hardware version is v 1.0
[Micromax A116] neomanu:
I expected this to happen. That is why I posted these builds to confirm. 357 is for 6589T actually, but 312 isn't.

So as I have received more than 1 reply of the same, I will be replacing future 286 builds with 312.

It can be. I didn't expect that someone would actually need it.

I'll add it to my WIP list.

If it doesn't give problems, I'll roll it out to release in the next version.

Firstly, the kernel is not the only cause for SOD issue. Apps can cause it too.

Secondly, OC does not work for everone. I used to face it too in KashKernel OC.

Use 286/312/357 version to see if it happens.
[Micromax A116] harisaduelite:
Thanks for the update hope we get loads of more features on this kernel and just wanted to ask are you going to compile any Roms?:confused:
[Micromax A116] neomanu:
ROMs? No, there are too many of those already. :laugh: :p

Waiting to switch to CM after it stabilizes.

I was using this kernel for my personal use and thought of sharing it with others.

Hadn't planned on uploading initially.
[Micromax A116] akshay961:
I have tried all your builds [286/312/357] the kernel isnt changing..

I have tried Kashkernel also even that isnt getting installed...IS it a Rom issue or Recovery issue?

i am on this recovery http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2758539

TWRP 2.7..0.0.

I will; try changing to Philz Recovery will post result after that!

Edit:

I tried Philz recovery but same issue! kernel isnt changing [colossus Rom by cmahendra]
[Micromax A116] neomanu:
Take a nandroid backup, format everything except external SD.

Restore and try flashing again.

This problem is very unheard of.
[Micromax A116] harisaduelite:
What are u saying bro there are so many source built roms available that no one has made for instance mokee an also paranoid android then also omni rom I feel u can use stable cm sources since they are closely derived from cm. And no one even compiled a pure AOSPA rom too :confused:
[Micromax A116] GroovyG:
Been testing 1.1oc on the T5 since yesterday, so far no issues in terms of freezes, and it's so buttery smooth!

Strangely battery last longer than non-oc 1.1, for whatever reason :confused:
[Micromax A116] saurabhsunil:
bro i'm on chrizel note three by cmahendra and on this rom also it doesnt show the kernel has changed, but if u check on tricksterMOD app it shows the actual kernal that is flashed
[Micromax A116] akshay961:
So what u are saying is that the kernel is getting changed .

It just isnt showing in the settings!??

New Release

v1.2

1. Updated to kernel 3.4.94
2. GPU : Replaced 286 MHz version with 312 MHz
3. Enabled F2FS (was disabled before)
4. Added exclusive Sweep2Sleep (see post #3)
5. Fixed DoubleTap2Wake
6. Enabled DEBUGFS and Tracing (see post #3)

camera is greenish for me on both versions. a116i
[Micromax A116] neomanu:
Older version didn't give the same problem?
[Micromax A116] smustafasms:
i jst tried 1.0 . and 1.2. didnt try 1.1. 300mhz overclock working grt. but camera is greenish and when i click on the screen it just force close .
[Micromax A116] neomanu:
Use v1.1-286 MHz and see if problem persists.
[Micromax A116] deepesh.tickoo:
Ok, so being impatient for somebody to reply for my question, I replaced v1.2@312mHz version's ramdisk with cm11 memory swapped kernel's ramdisk and viola! It booted up! Super smooth and gave excellent 13k+ score in cm11(remember its cm11) but to my amaze I'm facing a rather different and strange issue, my sdcard i.e sdcard0 due to mem swap kernel is not being read fully, only some folders are showing and opening up properly, example Camera folder! But most of the folders are not showing up its contents like screenshots folder in pictures folder isn't even visible and therefore I'm not able to take any screenies! It says there might be a problem with storage!

Note: I am able to see all my files and folders in PC when mounted through TWRP, also this issue wasn't there before flashing the kernel!

Hope [MENTION=225651]op[/MENTION] can help me out in this matter!

EDIT: I tried running a media scan with media scanner and its showing error on EVERY folder! And moreover I just noticed that the folders that were listed before are not able to display and/or access all files in that folder, only some are accessible.

FIX needed.
[Micromax A116] neomanu:
Sorry, but this is a ROM/ramdisk issue.

Nothing to do with the kernel.
[Micromax A116] GroovyG:
Wow, that one also burns through my battery like a hot knife through butter :o

After a full charge total screen on time 3h50min, kashkernel 2.6 gives me roundabout 6h with same usage. Did you change any drivers in regards to that?
[Micromax A116] eagledipesh:
Can you share the kernel? i am also using CM11, Let me try, I haven't swapped memory.
[Micromax A116] gregferns:
If possible, pls share with me also, as i have swapped memories and i can test it too...

to add to it, i had recently partitioned and formatted my sd card.... so will be able to know if it does the same....
[Micromax A116] vismaiy:
Yes indeed!! The camera isn't working for me on new hardware. The front camera works. But the back camera doesn't show anything. It used to happen to me with all the custom kernels and they would always fix it later. I hope even you can fix it ;) using v1.2. thanks for your work!
[Micromax A116] neomanu:
Drivers are the same.

Greenify may be what you need.

This kernel is customized to save most battery while sceen is off (powersuspend). It won't lose more than 2% overnight.

But everything else is the same.

Also GPU OC can eat your battery.

I'll re-release 286 version if that's the cause.

Performance is inversely proportional to battery.

v1.0, 1.1 worked well for you?
[Micromax A116] deepesh.tickoo:
Will upload in a few minutes, keep checking this post for a DL.

BTW I was on CM11 v0.8 with swap mod by christiandevs0 and nothing else, i changed neokernel v1.2 ramdisk with swap mod kernel and installed and memory got swapped too but the issue i reported was there! try and report if its working for you guys or not. I know its a ramdisk issue though.

I have some more ideas in mind so I'll try them too after your review that how it worked for you guys.

EDIT: Can anyone of you provide me the boot.img of CM11v0.8 ROM zip?

EDIT2: Here is NeoKernel v1.2@312mHz with ramdisk of boot.img provided by christian devs for permanent memory swap.(Gave me wierd memory issues, test on your own risk and make a backup of current boot.img first before flashing. Also upload and provide me cm11 v0.8 boot.img if possible)
[Micromax A116] vismaiy:
I didn't check the previous one. Will check and tell you! ;)
[Micromax A116] gregferns:
I downloaded ,,, will try and report here...

here is the boot.img for v0.8 zipped up... let me know if its not corrupt or anything...

REPORT :

Flashed and all is well... I'm not facing the sdcard issue. ALl my folders are showing fine...

I only had one issue... i had lot of TWRP backups so i deleted most of them,,, but one particular one is not allowing me to delete it... dunno why... but otherwise everything is seemingly good so far...

Will revert more later... Also i did feel the phone a bit snappier,,, but will test before confirming as it may just have been due to dalvik / cache wipes after installing kernel....
[Micromax A116] vismaiy:
Camera not working on any version! I just checked all! :)
[Micromax A116] gregferns:
On ramdisk changed kernel given by dipesh.tickoo camera works,, but sometimes FC's. Recording mode FC's always... But panorama mode works well...

Both front and rear cameras work well....

Gallery app opens but doesnt show the images inside... although i can see the sections like camera, download, whatsapp images etc...

But i can see all these images from solid explorer ...

Another way i can see them is through the PHOTOS app.... there it shows everything properly...
[Micromax A116] deepesh.tickoo:
Yes this same happened with me too! Exactly same, On what ROM you are? CM11?
[Micromax A116] gregferns:
Yes, CM11 v0.8
[Micromax A116] GroovyG:
Interesting, yet there is notably different behavior. Standby is indeed excellent, but during normal use the battery drains really fast. Example, i had fully charged and wrote some emails, about 30min, and it was down to 80%, normally half an hour would mean 10% at the most, even in a gpu intensive app.

I'll try some more settings...
[Micromax A116] smustafasms:
i have flash all versions one by one on stock rom. camera is greenish on all versions.
[Micromax A116] akshay961:
Ok first of all i dont know if this is kernel bug but thats the only thing i flashed in past couple of days so it should be that!

This is the second time my phone has gone to deep discharge.

Problem is it doesnt get charged now. Its stuck in some kind of loop!

A screen appears which shows battery is charging and then after 30 sec another screen showing battery low at 3% and screen off.

And then this cycle again!

Things i have tried:-

1. leaving it for charging more than 2 hours.

2. charged the battery externally for more than 1 hour

3. charging it from laptop(same result)

Edit

I tried another battery and it worked! I still think this kernel has some issues with charging the battery when it is deep discharged! Please look into it.

Now going to 1.2!!!
[Micromax A116] Viggen66:
Excellent work here on this new kernel, tell me on the sleep2wake and doubletap2wake, what is on percentage the difference on battery usage on enabled and disabled feature, I mean is it a big difference or not really?

Thanks
[Micromax A116] pradeepjoshua:
Sweep to wake works but sweep to sleep doesn't ??
[Micromax A116] Viggen66:
What an achievement this kernel has finally made volume wake up keys work properly on gravity box, finally it works thanks to the work of this developer thanks a lot ☺

---------- Post added at 02:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:53 PM ----------

That was the feature I wanted the most and owing to deep sleep on the kernel it stopped working but on this kernel is working flawlessly ☺
[Micromax A116] pradeepjoshua:
Dt2w and s2w work flawlessly. No difference in battery cons with it. S2s doesn't work. Enabled using trickster mod..any suggestion ??
[Micromax A116] neomanu:
I'll try to support new hardware as well. No ETA because I have old hardware and you people are my testers.

So the faster I get replies/reviews, the faster I'll be able to solve the problem.

The values set by Trickster Mod are different than those which assigned by the dev who ported this feature.

See post #3 for the correct values.

Instead of Trickster, you could make a Shell script to control S2W, S2S or use Tasker script like I do.

There is a noticeable difference. Exactly how much I cannot say, you'll have to test it to find out.
[Micromax A116] smustafasms:
thanks bro for your support. i ll do whatever i can n as fast as i can :D

thanks
[Micromax A116] pradeepjoshua:
Set values as per instructions and works flawlessly
[Micromax A116] gregferns:
Can you share your Tasker script please, if possible. I would like to have a look at it.

thanks,

Am i the only one facing the fast draining battery with this kernel? This really bugs me because in all other aspects it's really flawless.

Camera Problem

After flashing v1.2 only. Not test build.

Users getting camera problem/greenish color in new hardware, do the following:

1. Connect to adb on PC (either USB or WIFI)

On PC:

2. $ adb shell

3. $ su

4. $ cat /proc/kmsg | grep -i "cam" > /sdcard/camera.log

5. Open Camera

6. After 4-5 seconds, close the camera and press Ctrl+C on adb shell.

7. Upload log to pastebin/any other paste site

8. Attach link here.

It might just give me a clue as to which driver the camera is using and possibly, the problem.
[Micromax A116] Viggen66:
neomanu, is it possible to add Kernel 1.2 with stock GPU clock, namely 286 Mhz? Instead of the overclocked ones?
[Micromax A116] neomanu:
I'll make one with v1.3.

As of now, doesn't make sense because camera is not fixed for some few devices.
[Micromax A116] Viggen66:
Weird, I'm using 1.1 with stock clock and I have no green stuff or even problems with camera, probably its a bug related with 1.2
[Micromax A116] smustafasms:
its related with the hardware changes made by micromax in a116i
[Micromax A116] Viggen66:
Actually the only difference between the two is the screen, everything else is the same, the i model has a more cheap screen, likewise A116 has a IPS screen

Update

v1.3

1. Updated to kernel 3.4.96
2. GPU : Added back 286 MHz version
3. Added Intelli_plug driver (see post #3)
It was exclusive to Qualcomm devices earlier,
but is now available to all ARM devices
4. Added, updated and enabled SIO & BFQ I/O schedulers
5. Enabled CONFIG_SCHED_AUTOGROUP
6. Numerous fixes (see Gitbub commits)

Note:

Intelli_plug is a sweet CPU hotplugging driver.

It can be used with all CPU governors, and solves the problem of CPU cores

not waking up, until governor was changed back to hotplug.

Hence, hotplug governor was always recommended.

But feel free to use any now.

Use FauxClock to control its features which include:

Touch Boost, Screen Off Freq., Profiles etc
