What u guys mean by better pin ? i mean what differs from my international edge to the other one international for being fine and overlocked without a reboot issue :)
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Xileforce:
He meant better bin. But I'll try to clear it up in an easy to understand way. Basically all cpus are not created equally. When a company like Intel makes a cpu they make many from the same wafer of silicon. Imagine chopping up a square into smaller squares and the smaller squares become the cpus. Unfortunately the electrical properties of the cpus is not always the same. Maybe one part of the wafer had an imperfection. There's more that goes into what causes the different quality of the cpus but that is one reason. So now Intel looks at their batch they just made and have some cpus that can only run at 2ghz because of an imperfection, and some that run fine at 3ghz. This is mostly due to the imperfections causing the cpu to require more power to run at the same frequency as a more perfect cpu. A more perfect cpu is considered a higher bin while a less efficient one is deemed a lower bin. For desktops they usually simply market them as a lower model. So maybe the high binned chips become i7s while the lower binned ones get sold as i5s. This way they can sell off their less efficient products rather than throwing them away. On mobile devices they usually just give each cpu a bin number. For us its an AVS rating of 0-15 I believe. Higher is better. Basically a higher bin will be able to overclocking higher as well as undervolt more. Furthermore the Kernel actually had voltage tables built in. What this does is it looks at what bin your cpu is and gives you a set of voltages to use. So the higher binned cpus actually run at a lower voltage out of the box. Basically like a factory undervolt, because they are more efficient and capable of handling the lower voltage. Whew! Hope that makes some sense. I'm not an expert but that's what I've picked up from reading about it over the years.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] matheus_sc:
yes, my english is bad, so i cannot make great explanation, but have a great dev, named andreilux maybe he can help, here make great kernels for exynos devices.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Xileforce:
Basically. To summarize. The reason some people can't overclock is because their cpus were made worse at the factory. It's just luck.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Xileforce:
So I've been testing it additional cpu governor's. I'm not sold on them yet but if you guys want them I'll add a few of the ones I've tested. One thing I've noticed is that smartassv2 seems to get stuck for the big core and lock at 1800mhz for some reason. So I'm not really sure if its broken or....just...likes to sit there for extended periods of time lol
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] matheus_sc:
If you can make a build without over for all tests.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] bigbossclk:
Hope you release à fully working kernel, as ı have to work in 2 hours , this battery life is a must for me and only your kernel does that without affecting performances it's magic hehe :)
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] sintro:
I run a CDMA US Cellular variant, the 920r4. Unikernel doesn't work for me due to that. Do you think that this kernel supports a CDMA phone?
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] oranttge:
I'm using kernel adiutor. I set big cpu max 800 mhz. when screen off, cpu change back to 2100. why?
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] xsidex:
"No UCI support detected" when opening synapse, any idea why or what UCI even is?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Xileforce:
Big cpu settings stick for me on screen on off using synapse and Kernel adiutor.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Xileforce:
Awesome! Glad to know that fixes it. :)
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] riofrio1000:
hi

a question going to throw coh2 kernel ?
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Xileforce:
Gotta save some stuff for R5 ;)
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] TheHardew:
So are you planning on adding arter's note port rom support?
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] riofrio1000:
when? :(
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Xileforce:
Maybe :/ he's merging parts of note 5 ramdisk and also overwriting the graphics drivers. I would rather keep it pure s6
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] TheHardew:
I've never used it, so thankfully it's not a big loose for me, though others might be sad.

Guessing on the current releases I'd say it'll be in 'bout a month.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Xileforce:
Lol sooner than that xD. Last few releases have been delayed due to vacations, and summer stuff :)
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] AndreiLux:
Really?

[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Flamehell:
Nice job with the kernel man!!!Really nice!!!!:D
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Xileforce:
That's the commit that fixed it O_O hmm...I've always used that one before. Must've forgotten to commit in my last few builds. Guess that would explain everything. Thanks for pointing that out! You learn something new everyday.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Xileforce:
Glad you like it :)
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Paradoxxx:
Thqt'd be something cool, cause I'm really dieing for a kernel that is bugless and with a lot of customisation inside. :highfive:
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] TheHardew:
Ohh man! Xtrestolite 2.3 + vindicator kernel 4.0 = 1 GB (0.93 GiB) of free ram! And I can still debloat it, i.e. I was trying new things, like edge screen, but I don't really like 'em.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Xileforce:
4.1 is out btw :) just small Changes
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] RFrancis:
This combination is really great... I was having some issues with the status bar disappearing all of a sudden but it seems like it sorted themselves. So far so good on the keyboard issues here and trying out tap to wake. If it keeps like this I'll just have to stop flashing stuff for a while .
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] MrWGT:
Small changes compared to last "test version 4.1"?

Edit: boot.img has same date/time - so probably no difference ;)
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] innit:
bootlop after installing the latest 4.1. xtrestolite 2.3
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] TheHardew:
[MENTION=3888640]innit[/MENTION] I had similar bug. I had to do:

1. nandroid back-up of data

2. factory reset

3. clean install of rom

4. restore apps using TB feature export from nandroid backup (or sth like that, I don't know if it's in a free ver)

For whatever reason restoring data through recovery caused bootloop. I think it was a conflict between note 5 apps and sgs6 apps' data. If so choose wisely what you restore, i.e. don't restore dialer, but apps like games etc.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] steve97ta:
What kernel were you running before..... arter?
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] innit:
yes, arter's 3.5

---------- Post added at 02:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:47 PM ----------

thanks, will try it
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] cba1986:
Is this kernel compatible with back-to-n0t3?

EDIT: forget it, found that not.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] danon.brown:
any chance this will work on the note 5?
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] jelbo:
Haha guys, please read. Same question within an hour xD No Note 5 support and no support likely.

... and bootloop issues if coming from arter97 kernel.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] osmosizzz:
Still running r4. Wonderful kernel for sure. Fast and battery friendly. First time me getting 15 hours run time and 5.5 hours screen one time
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] red2pac:
hi there! :)

I had random reboots in R4 when I used samsung default browser so I switched to another kernel (I'm not completely sure that reboots are just because of browser).but I realy love yours.I'll switch back to your kernel as as soon as you fix it

one more thing!

when I wiped dalvik cache bootloops occured at optimizing apps state

hope these will be useful ;)
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] danon.brown:
Thanks. I searched note 5 and didn't come up with no support.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Luhccas-X10:
Just trying your kernel right now.

Let's see how it works.

[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Xileforce:
Try r4.1 ;)
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] TheHardew:
[MENTION=4517211]Xileforce[/MENTION] it'd be nice if we could specify cpu speed in VControl by hand - as you know synapse reverts itself back. It's not possible to use VControl to set 700 MHz, for example.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Xileforce:
Sadly that would take a long time to implement and it would make the selection super long inside VControl and clutter it imo :(
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] TheHardew:
Why? Cannot you just get the number from stream and use switch-case?

EDIT: Sth like that (In general I write in c++, so there can be some bugs):

unsigned chosenFrequency = 0;
scanf("%u", &chosenFrequency);

switch (chosenFrequency){
case 200: // set frequency to 200; break;
// ...
case 1296:
case 1300: // set frequency to 1296; break;
default: // ask again
}
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Xileforce:
There may be a way to somehow read the file where the frequency table is stored, however the problem would still remain where for each frequency selection option you would get like 4

25 options xD
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] TheHardew:
Wow 425? why?

Wouldn't it be possible to set something similar to this?

- su
- VControl
menu: 0 - current settings...
- 1 // for frequency control
menu: 1 - a57, 2 - a53
- 1 // for a57 cluster
menu: 1 - minimum, 2 - maximum
- 2 // for maximum frequency
menu: write the number you want to set:
- 2200

Plus kernel adjusting apps somehow get the information about frequencies from kernel, so you could use similar way.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] jelbo:
I'm running 4.1 since today. Coming from UniKernel 7 beta, but decided to try something else. This OP impressed me the most with all the optimizations, tweaks and especially explanations and arguments. Good job on that ;)

Initial impressions are good! I'm running it on XtreStoLite 2.3.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Xileforce:
Woops meant 25 not 425! Sorry about that. And yes I was referring to reading from the same file as Kernel apps. The issue is just with a terminal based controller displaying all of the frequency options would really look cluttered imo.

Edit: forgot to reply to the code u posted. Yea I thought about letting user just type the values in themselves. The only issue with this is that you would have to know the exact frequency number which isn't as easy for some less power users. However. It may be possible for me to add an input your own frequency option for people like you :)
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Xileforce:
Glad to hear you are liking it so far! Let me know if you have any suggestions :)
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] skinza:

[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Xileforce:
Arter modifies the gpu drivers. You need to dirty flash your rom then flash this Kernel. That means do not wipe just reflash rom to get gpu drivers back.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Xileforce:
I'm running 1600mhz and 2200mhz oc, 300mhz min on little 200 on big. And depending on if I'm playing games I enable power aware scheduling. I've also played around with the apm/hpm voltage thresholds a little.

Are you using twrp?

Glad to hear it!

I have no clue. When I was asked to add it I was told synapse was how you controlled it, yet when I attempting d to use the synapse audio page the controls didn't work. I'll have to maybe take a look at the code and find all of the sysfs node and modify synapse for it. :)

[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] ktetreault14:
No governors have been optimized to work on this processor that's why there's no governor is available on any kernel
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] nofam:
^ Exactly. If you want to see for yourself, try flashing Echoe kernel - it has bluactive, dancedance, lionheart, ondemandplus, smartass2, wheatley, nightmare

darkness, alucard, conservativex, intelliactive, bioshock, preservative, barry_allen, hyper, conservative - other then the Intelliactive, they're all pretty hard on battery IMO.

Yup, we've tried those before, some don't even work at all, just lock at max frequency. Only interactive is optimized to run alongisde hmp.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Xileforce:
I've tested many IO schedulers and have found that usually noop and cfq are the fastest. Plus in R4 I added a few cool patches that optimize cfq for solid state storage which is what we have. It reduces the latency quite a lot. Ufs is so fast already any performance differences will be close to negligible in the end.

OK, after a day of using this kernel, I think it has great battery-friendly performance. Really happy with it.

I do have an idea that I think would be nice to incorporate. Add 'color support'. AndreiLux's Perseus kernel has it, and it's a great thing to have on a Samsung device, to improve on the over-saturated AMOLED-display. Perseus also has some sound-related stuff.

I'll check out that mdnie stuff :) also next update will have sound controls fixed, was about to look into that and saw arter just patched his synapse with it fixed.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Xileforce:
Merging that stuff breaks every other Kernel and requires a dirty flash to fix it :( however if there is a performance improvement in the graphics I may be interested :P anyone run a good antutu benchmark with arter Kernel to see if the note 5 gpu drivers show any improvement?

[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] jasonl.teehee:
very good, thank you.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Xileforce:
As someone else mentioned googling it will probably help you a lot, however as a basic explanation the Kernel is like the engine in a car while the rom is like the frame. Sort of I guess. Kernel handles all of the low level stuff like overclocking, color control, frequency management, all of your drivers, pretty much everything. Typically, at least in my experience, switching kernels will provide a much bigger difference in battery and performance than a rom. However if you switch from an unoptimized rom to an optimized one you will definitely notice a difference.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] jasonl.teehee:
can a custom kernel and a custom rom work together hand in hand? I have found the Twrp file for the SG-298C, but unsure whether to install the Alex V custom kernel first to avoid bootloop.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] dylan2610:
