Hello sir. Ive already tested the gear vr and it runs smooth therefore is compatible with the kernel. Thanks and more power to you. ?
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] lizaSB:
Latest test killed my cat and broke my toaster :crying:

Please don't hate me

In all seriousness, 200 was just a touch jumpy at first -- seems to have smoothed out to normalness so far. I'll take this to work and give you any feedback if any major derps occur
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] clinthess:
I second this. After my initial reboot, it was sluggish, but it's much better now. I haven't seen anything noticeable yet. Nothing broken or "derped".
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] f1ux:
Running v5-0004 test at the moment and it seems really smooth still. Maybe even smoother than V5-0002. Transitions seem more fluid?

App startup seems very rapid, no lag or unexpected delay. No jerkiness when fast scrolling in chrome.

Double tap to load the camera after the device has been sleeping for a while still seems very quick.

I can't fault it so far!

About to go to bed so will see what happens overnight in regards to drain.

Many thanks OP!

[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] clinthess:
So my first day of using test 4, I've had unusual battery issues and I'm not sure what it's related to. I'll run bbs on my next charge to see, but on 5 hours on and an hour of screen time, I'm at 50 percent.

This is about half of normal for me.

Running v5 test and it's silky smooth

The app to app animations are the smoothest yet

I bumped it up to 300mhz and not a lag to be seen

Battery is also holding off very well so far

The only hiccup I had was that I dirty flashed it over 50002 and got some weird vibrations and some apps forced close, and but once I wiped cache and dalvik all is back to normal

You've nailed it again bro

I am getting freeze up watching videos on YouTube :/
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] albert000:
Running V5 test

+ App & animations are running really smooth

+ The battery in deep sleep is excellent (97% of deepsleep after 6hours night with wifi & data.) The draining is 0,5% per hour ! It might be better than the "standard" kernel (v5 no test).

+ no lag & no issue for the moment

I will see during the day in normal usage how it will work & let you know.

Thank you for your fabulous job !

[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] _Johnito_:
v5.004 test : No lags whatsoever + pretty good overall framerate. I let the original 200mhz minimum frequency for all CPU cores, since my test with 400mhz didnt change anything. I also did not have any bug related to the mysterious wakelock thing.

EDIT: deleted the APN/Wifi thing, i was receving a whole lot of MMS.

[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Neuz:
Flashed v5.004 test.

All smooth, no bug, apps open fast like f1 cars!

All works very well!

Battery is insane and FINALLY LLI_PM_WLOCK has dropped at human percentage (around 1%).

Best kernel ever!

Anyone else facing Netflix force close? Also Camera slow motion and Fast motion force close ? any tips?
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] cchant:
If you're on extrstolite you probably need to flash the aroma pack. I know the fast/slow motion is highlight gallery or something like that
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] muttonhead411:
I am facing this issue as well. But I'm not sure if its due to the kernel.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] _Johnito_:
Cannot say about Netflix, but i also use v5.004 (+xtrestolite) and i tried slow motion camera to see. I had no issue filming, then watching the sequence, so it is not a kernel/rom issue.

About what to try, i'd say the basics; be sure you have the latest bootloader and baseband, that you didnt trimmed anything important in the xstrestolite aroma installer, wipe camera cache and stop it, if it persists delete fulle cache + dalvik. D
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] SpidySun:
I flashed Aroma. may be i missed that particular box to check. Thanks for the tip man. :good:
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] wellboy95:
I'm facing yellow screen bug too. I think it is due to kernel. When you boot up, u can see that the white in logo SS will change into yellow in 1 second. And the screen is yellow. Hope it fix soon :) V5-0003 and V5-0004 test also has this bug :(
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] mDaniel:

[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] cazrack:
I'll Google it then, probably faster then writing a hotpluging governor to test it out.

Regarding running phone with performance governor for maximum speed and smoothness, all I can say it works very good for me and compared to do it on my Note 3 it works much better here with battery life and less heat.

Thanks for taking time to respond, no pun intended.

The touchscreen firmware was updated recently starting around v5.002. Possible this is a side effect of the latest updates

Can you try using S health with that wakelock disabled? Footsteps taken, heart rate etc

---------- Post added at 06:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:37 PM ----------

I've noticed that with v5-0004, all 8 cores are used when for instance i scroll in kernel adiutor. Before, the big cores would stay at the lowest freq and only the LITTLE cores would upper their freq, but now all 8 cores are uppered when scrolling. Maybe it's better just to use the previous frequencies for better power savings? I'm no expert, though

[MENTION=1768899]g.lewarne[/MENTION] im saying this problem yes finally some people understand me :D
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] g.lewarne:
Watch carefully on a stock kernel it does that too (from aroubd cof8) when the mdnie driver loads. I have zero colour issues and colour accuracy is kinda a large part of what I do for a living, im very sensitive to it. The touchscreen firnware has nothing to do with colour, its literally just for the touch sensor which is a layer over the top of the amoled panel

Here is something to consider. My colorimeter reports extremely close to ideal colour accuracy on basic scree. Setting, which is what I use. If you see more yellow it could be because you are used to more blue, lower K displays from your PC, TV , laptop, other phones, etcetc
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] sahandv1989:
can you fix it anyway ???

After 14 hours on v5.0004 test I still find performance is really good, but for me standby power drain is not as good.

V5.0002 seemed the best overall for me so far.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Harregukalerik:
+1 v5.0002 much better than 03 and test 04
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] gianton:
I double that too. Been on v5.0002 and find it the best between speed and battery life.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] skydawn1001:
Can you upload v5-0002 thanks
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] MrWGT:
I get better battery life with 5.0004. Looks like it depends on personal usage profile.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Neuz:
If u can't find it in a Op thread, no one can link nothing.

[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Flamehell:
Guys please..... [MENTION=1768899]g.lewarne[/MENTION] told us many times to not post any links or to ask about old versions of the kernel.....i know that sometimes is difficult to be a man.....but let's try to not be always children.....:)
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] g.lewarne:
ok thanks for the feedbacks on the test everyone!

Im getting the feeling that although there are some real world savings to be had, it does cause a little bit of lag here and there under certain situations. My own feelings on the matter, which I did not want to reveal previously (didnt want to bias the test) is that the power saved while idling lower is pretty much matched by the extra power used when ramping up the extra steps to usable frequencies. Therefore, not worth it. Ill drop all support for lower idle speeds in future kernels, lets leave it stock speeds entirely.

Im deep in development of v6, which includes further unification refinements (not bugfixes, just better ways of doing things) and im concentrating on finding the best possible power/performance balance i can come up with. :good:
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] sswagonman:
Just so people know that back years ago people posting old stuff is what made g.lewarne go quiet so we lost his kernel. Also there is some stuff in those folders u don't want to flash unless u r prepared for soft bricking and nuclear war

Living on the edge
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] g.lewarne:
indeed. Although many of you do completely understand the nature of the beast, I think its important to reiterate to some members that you may find BROKEN or worse, RISK-OF-BRICKING stuff in my folders. What I post has always been thoroughly tested by a multitude of users across a broad range of devices. What i dont post - ISN'T Sure, there are older released versions in there, but sometimes there is not, sometimes i put builds there for my testers, some are specifically targetted to one particular device and should not be flashed on others...etc. Use common sense, stay with whats posted by me or my nominated testers

Development of something like this is an ever evolving process. Im nearing happiness with the builds now, but there is still tinkering to be done until we achieve something as close to perfection as possible.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] gdmlaz:

[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] self_slaughter:
Latest test version has been great for standby battery usage (lost 3% in 4 hours with minor use) but seems to drain pretty hard during use.

No noticeable lag issues on my end though.

[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Obagleyfreer:
Can someone please share the latest 5.0.2 version of this awesome kernel? :)
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] wund3rground:
Just my opinion based on usage today, it seems to me that it's basically a wash between v5-0003a and v5-0004-test. Probably best to leave the minimums alone IMO...

[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] MrWGT:
For me the lower speeds did a great job. I did a bike tour yesterday and tracked it with komoot. Most of the time the screen was off and in the end i had over 70% of battery compared to below 50 which i was used to.

Is there a way to enable the lower speeds only if screen is off and maybe reduce the higher speeds? See no need for high speed while Phone is in my pocket.

Thanks for your effort.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] drnjstj:
The v5.4 test version really works great, by far the best for me. Speed is superb and battery great (on a clean install already, so should further improve). Looking forward to v6 and thank you for your hard work and dedication.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] self_slaughter:
Yeah, just got home from work and still on 74%. :D

Chewed a bit yesterday playing with the phone all day, but for occasional use the test kernel does bloody well.

Edit: that was with 1 hour screen time @ auto brightness, few hours of Bluetooth audio in the car and just basic browsing stuff during lunch.

Pretty impressive.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] walda:
For me the battery drains more since android 5.1.1.

But with v5.0004 it nearly comes to screen on consumation from 5.0.2.

I had 12-16%/h with screen on at my usage (twitter, surfing, facebook - no gaming).

Since 5.1.1 I reached 16+ which is too much for me, because I have to charge it twice a day. Not happy with my s6 anymore.

It seems, that v5.0004 brings me back to normality.

Green lines are screen on, red ones are screen offs, blue charging.

I hope that IF the dev switches back to stock frequencies, I am able to change the minimum values per tweak app. Will it be possible then? For me it's better with lower minimum frequencies.

Thanks in advance.

[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] hans_olo:
v5-0004-test is working without issues for me, very low energy consumption when screen is off. Experienced no lags so far.

Cannot really say if the energy consumption is higher as previous v5 when the phone is used, I am flashing UniKernel updates so

frequently that I almost have no time to use my phone in between... ;)

Just to confirm: Gear VR is working fine and with DriveDroid it is now possible to emulate an HDD in R/W mode (have a fully installed linux distribution running on my S6 :D)

So I am on xtrestolite 2.1. The ROM already comes with V3. I flashed V 5, and I have to say it's way faster than V3. The scrolling in play store and overall snappiness is just insane. I do have one question, your kernel is way better than stock so why didn't Samsung include all your changes in stock kernel?
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] walda:
Just wanted to report, that my device was off (?), black screen, no reaction on every single buttonpress.

Only Vol down + Power helped to start the device. My internal logfile reported that the last action was 30 minutes ago. The device was warmer than normal, but not hot. Maybe because of the 30 minutes cooldown time.

But if it was "only" off, a single power press should have started the device.

I'm on v5.0004 test.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] trazfer:
Me too i had this problem only blank screen i tried pressing all buttons but it doesnt open. I noticed that the green led light is blinking every second while this is happen. Need to vol down+ power+ home to get out of this state. Im on v 5.0001

[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] g.lewarne:
i am not currently supporting any kernel control apps, nor plan to. the framework for control is in the kernel, but I have chosen to stick with a "tweaked" stock-like kernel. Especially after unification, the forums dont need 4 kernels with near identical features.

I have spent countless hour fine tuning a lot of settings in this kernel. so you dont have to.
