Just get this with sm-g920f.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] steve97ta:
Is that on the latest test kernel? I just flashed it but its still booting up

I had the SOD yesterday but just once.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] aaronc_98:
yes the latest kernel the test version, but it has happened on all versions
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] steve97ta:
Do you have cpu controlling apps on? What rom are you running?

I'm running XtreStolite with the new test that was posted last page. Just booted up and let the screen turn off. No white screen??? Are you wiping caches before flashing?
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] steve97ta:
Deep sleep is almost instant. I didn't adjust any settings
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] aaronc_98:
No- didnt have any cpu apps. On stock rom. Was not wiping caches, I wil try that
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] steve97ta:
That is probably why. I always wipe caches and then flash the kernel
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Xileforce:
I've tweaked Kernel to go to sleep very quickly :)
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] aaronc_98:
Nope, I wipe caches and reflashed it still has the same problem. It's also happening on simple kernel
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] steve97ta:
Very weird....I'm on TMO S6E you're on 5.1.1 bootloader/stock rom

---------- Post added at 05:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:12 PM ----------

I went to another kernel for this morning but I missed the speed of this one. Good work ?
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] whittikins:
I'm running the test version you posted today in this thread, and I'm just wondering if the big core minimum CPU frequency is supposed to be 200? If not, then it must be a residual affect of flashing a unikernel beta yesterday.

However, if it's intended, I experience some slowness on my g925t (running xtrolite) when min clock is 200 instead of 800 (stock I think). Occasional keyboard lag and slowness when I first touch/interact with the screen.

When I use kernel auditor to raise it to 800, it's an improvement for sure but it goes back to 200 after a bit.

Thoughts?
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] matheus_sc:
Last beta its very great. Hope in future have synapse and voltage control in future.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] cazrack:
I'm gonna comment because I have been using custom CPU settings and roms since galaxy 2.

Yes if you set baseclock at 200 MHz on a57 it will not provide you with any responsiveness, the only way to go around it is to have touch boost settings enabled or have very fast upscale on A57 CPU load, luckily S6 already have another low power A53 CPU cluster which it uses first and it don't draw much power on 100% utilization on all its 4 cores so you can very fast upscale on the A57. Edit: you know A57 interactive governor settings isn't sticking :(

By very fast upscale on interactive gov I mean like go hispeed load 15 and let it scale to max MHz or you're required response level for example 1200 MHz.

What all kernels should have is a setting for setting max a53 and a57 mhz on screen off. Ktoonsez excellent 5.0.2 kernel have this. That way you don't have worry about you're aggressive responsive settings for onscreen performance will drain you're battery while you're phone screen is off, for example while listening to podcasts or music you're phone screen is usually off and then you want to keep the CPU cores at very low speeds.

Ktoonsez kernel for 5.0.2 have some very impressive features and you can configure it very easily but I don't know if it works for a 5.1.1 rom.

The biggest problem with performance governor is if you can't have it MHz capped during offscreen, you don't want it to run at maximum MHz on a53 and a57 while listening to a podcast.

EDIT:

I have very aggressive upscale on A53, go hispeed load 20 a hispeed freq max 1500 which gives pretty good performance but the problem is the A57 cluster since governor settings on it isn't sticking it currently provide lackluster performance for my requirements and if I change governor from interactive to performance in order to maximum responsiveness during onscreen it suck my battery dry very fast since I listen to podcast and music much on my phone because it will run at max 2100 MHz and I have no way restrict it's offscreen maximum MHz speed.

With 5.0.2 and ktoonsez it was not a problem to set it but I have not found a 5.1.1 kernel allowing me to restrict offline MHz on a53 and a57.

What I don't like about interactive governor is its default usually slow upscale to max MHz, combined with a slow baseclock MHz on CPU cores and you get really bad responsiveness, for example on you're virtual keyboard lag you mentioned.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] matheus_sc:
but others governors dont work well in s6, much things are changed in 5.1.1 too
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] cazrack:
I used a couple of different CPU govs on ktoonsez and they worked good.

Check his kernel post for information.

Yes 5.1.1 Kernel management at the moment is a mess sadly.

EDIT: I've changed some text on my earlier long post for better spelling and choice of words.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Xileforce:
The latest test I posted has screen off max mhz which I ported from nexus 6. Though it's shared between both clusters. It defaults to 700mhz. Also a go highspeed load of 15 would pretty much be highspeed all the time... For reference the default go highspeed load is 99 from Google. Interactive governor can scale up extremely quickly, far quicker than an app like perfmon can show you. Also, the A53 cores really aren't that slow. They are pretty fast by themselves.

In case you didn't see it. Here is the test

For me works R2 Stable better than last version, with last Version and Same setting my S6 is very Hot and Bad deep sleep 81% vs 98% from R2 stable

[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] matheus_sc:
Last build here is very great, deep sleep well and perfomance is very good, dont need and governor i think.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] whittikins:
So do the test versions have min CPU set to 200 for big cores? Or is mine messed up?

200 is too low even for minimum, but unfortunately CPU app won't keep it set to 800 when I try.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] cazrack:
I'll try newer kernel, thanks!

The quad core A53 CPU cluster at maximum speed 1500 MHz on all 4 cores is not enough for 60 fps fluid GUI performance in many applications. They provide less than 1800 geekbench 3 points together, not even close to old phones with snapdragon 800 performance, for example Note 3.

Samsung have probably configured stock kernel with A57 cluster at 800 MHz minimum because they want the A57 cores to atleast match A53 performance when they take over and not cause lag doing it.

You are correct the CPU cores can change speed 10 times a second if they want to but the problem with that is that it's not good and causes jerky lags with microstutter, for good user experience you want the CPU to run at constant high speed until you're demanding task is finished in order to not causes performance issues.

It's easy to monitor each CPU clusters time in every MHz state in many applications for example kernel adiutor in view frequency table.

Monitoring in perf mon is just to get a hint of core MHz and utilization, for example if you're performance minded you use it to see if the CPU cores clock down to much during scrolling in Facebook messenger or in a heavy webpage.

It is pretty easy to find out how god gui speed you get out x amount of MHz. On ktoonsez kernel you can hotplug cores offline and then set for example 2 A53 online locked at x MHz, now try to scroll in applications and gui.

Most kernels don't provide such fine controls on those, try this

In kernel adiutor

Set A53 and A57 cluster to gov performance.

Now to test A53 performance, lock minimum and maximum A57 to lowest must be like 200 MHz.

Now lock A53 cores to the MHz speed you want, for example test 800 MHz after using phone for a while change to 1500 MHz.

Edit : I promise you're gui smoothness will differ greatly and you will notice that the A53 cluster alone is not powerful enough, atleast it is so for me.

Try to restrict A57 to 800 MHz and scroll in Facebook messenger, after that restrict it to 2100 max and scroll, it's a huge difference.

Facebook messenger likes the A57 so it's easy to test it with that.

Sorry for typos.

Edit: /Salute to you for providing us with a good kernel!
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] cazrack:
Kernel feedback

InteractiveX = nice!

In my view the A57 clusters is held back to much and you can feel/see it almost everywhere.

Go hispeed load at 89, too much for me personally but the deal breaker is the following.

1. A57 first going to 1200 mhz which is faster then the A53s but not fast enough to make a difference.

2. Wait for timer cool down to ramp up.

3. 1300 mhz still to slow.

4. Wait for timer cool down to ramp up.

5. 1700 mhz, starting to make a difference in speed but it almost never get here, would be nice compromise if it went here instead of 1200 at the beginning.

6. Wait for timer cool down to ramp up

7. 1800-2100 mhz, you basically never get here except during a benchmark.

Personally summary: you never feel the responsiveness of the cpus potential.

I'm not critical of your work, there is no perfect kernel for everyone, it's all about responsiveness vs battery life and myself lean to responsiveness.

Stupid car comparison for the sake of it, I would not buy a BMW M series or a Mercedes AMG series car if I didn't intend to push it's performance.

;)
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] matheus_sc:
as much devs already said, only interactive works fine with new hmp , for little cores i think we need then for battery! some people already asks for only big core kernel, but this for me at least dont makes sense.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] cazrack:
The new HMP, I'm not up to speed, in which version of what did we get the new HMP?

Ondemand and conservative worked fine with ktoonsez 5.0.2 kernel when shifting from A53 to A57 cluster.

I'm gonna stop complaining here :) hopefully one day our own interactive governor settings will stick and everyone will be happy.

Peace :)
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] matheus_sc:
So this is the thing, thw new HMP all cores works this is why others governos is bad for s6.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] s3ct0r:
Is anyone else having issues with apps running with the screen off? For example music like Spotify, SoundCloud closr randomly after a bit of time of playing.

Thanks heaps :)

Running r3 t2.5
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] NJGSII:
Same just happened to me. It was with the regular music app. Afterwards the phone locked up and then rebooted. Running the latest test as well.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] steve97ta:
Using Power Amp no problems. I tried Spotify for 2 songs with the screen off it didn't freeze up
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] riofrio1000:

[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Devries:
After I flash R3 T8 from T2.5, the bug that phone sometimes freez for 10s when opening task switcher had fix :D
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] mindfever91:
I had a weird lockup/freeze on R3 T8 when I was using the camera a couple hours ago. The phone just didn't respond for about 10 seconds, then it was fine again.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] riofrio1000:
You say you fixed the freezing ?
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] NJGSII:
It was odd too. Other than that performance is great. Samsung needs to employ people like the op and others on here to do their software.

[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Devries:
no,the kernel is self
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Xileforce:
These types of issues are most likely due to the memory management tweaks. I'll be reading onto the latest firmware and memory tweaks for r3 socwe will see if it improves.

I'm thinking to mutch of this kernel that i will try afther this post flashing it on my phone!

How can i help you with feedback for you to improve this kernel?

And if so..

What would you say to me to do?

Like terminal commands ore the location on my phone where the logs will be located?

[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] TheHardew:
I'm not really into programming kernels, but would it be possible to add brain**** scheduler?
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] cazrack:
If kernel doesn't ramp up speed on both clusters fast enough to provide a response gui it's gonna be slow when you wake phone from deepsleep.

EDIT: A53 cluster doesn't consume much watt on 100% load but provide you with a lot more responsive phone, you can configured it and it's settings stick.

Do this, open kernel adiutor and set the following settings on the little cluster

Go hispeed load = 20

Hispeed freq = 1500

Youre phone will be a lot more responsive.

Set kernel adiutor to reapply settings on reboot.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Xileforce:
Actually been looking into porting this for awhile the problem is bfs doesn't support hmp and hmp is what lets us use all 8 cores at once. So I'm really not sure what would happen O_o
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] TheHardew:
What a pity. Still, I'm looking forward to seeing what kind of optimizations you're going to add to r3. Can't wait to get it! So far you did great job.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Xileforce:
G.lewarne has some new interactive tweaks that he says make phone lagless and have better battery so I'll be trying those. Plus some other stuff too :) may give bfs a shot for fun somedy too. I ran bfs in my nexus 6 Kernel and loved it.

[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] MrPhilo:
I tried searching, but is it possible to just use the A53? Like changing CPU Speed, it used to work on Galaxy S4 Exynos but things seem different now.

[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Xileforce:

[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] AndreiLux:
It's possible on any kernel without any modifications, just turn the big cores off...
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] koko115:
Which app stering this kernel ? or where i change governor..

And please add more power for notify led in next version.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Xileforce:
That can be done from userspace? I figured it had to be done pre compilation. I stand corrected!
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Devries:
It freeze more than 30 sencond after a long time sleep,I think it's not about this point.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] matheus_sc:
I think you can go in kernel auditor and shutdown cores.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Xileforce:
Doesn't work for me :/ and all the hmp settings revert back shortly after being set via sysfs :(
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] ksekhar:

[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Xileforce:
Try wiping cache and rebooting. This isnt Kernel related. Means you have some sort app keeping your device awake.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] lonelydra:
same for me.

R3-T8 build:

- No deep sleep.

- have some random reboot.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] matheus_sc:
Here all fine and deep sleep very well
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Xileforce:
Same. No random reboots either and I'm on the same build. Did you try a cache wipe?
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Xileforce:
Hey guys, here's the latest test. It's got some misc updates and tweaks as well as the new interactive settings from Glewarne to reduce lag. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6n0VW96A9ModEc4T3p6dUVHdDA/view?usp=docslist_api

Lemme know what you think!
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] SupremeBeaver:
Hi Xileforce, does this kernel support CIFS or FUSE? It's not mentioned in the OP and a search of the thread brings up no hits. If not, do you think you could add support for this? This is a huge thing for me, yet no other kernels or roms so far for the GS6 include it.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] -JFK-:
Hello,

Good deepsleep there and no reboot from now.

[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] picia89:
I've just installed. There are no lags in Opera (dynamic animation of tabs). I had it before and it was weird on T8 Build, because the whole system was very smooth. It works now at least twice better. We will see how about the battery.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Xileforce:
No it does not, however I could probably add it by simply enabling it in the defconfig. I'll try to remember and take a look tomorrow ;)
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] SupremeBeaver:
Please do, it would be huge for me. And to test I suppose you would need to download CifsManager.

Thanks!
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Highspeed123:
Your new test kernel has finally fixed the lag I had in play store and Chrome, amongst others. I have tried every custom rom and kernel available and none made the scrolling lag any better until now. Even stock, when I first booted my phone I had this issue. Thank you so much! Keep up the good work. :)

I've been using Opera and browsing the Internet on 3G (T 10 build). After 30 min SOT (and constantly reloading new web pages) my battery lost about 16 % and it is a good result. Unfortunately, my phone had an overheating which caused a real discomfort. It is smoothest like never before but it gets very hot.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] JJalowiec:
so.. hypothetically speaking... if someone has s6 edge from tmobile with stock (ota updates) 5.1.1 not rooted. How would one (I'm asking for a friend of course hahaha) install this kernel? I don't think 5.1.1 even achieved root yet nor a custom recovery that works perfectly (without breaking other features such as in call sound and what not).

What were the major changes to interactive by glewarne to drastically improve the smoothness? Seems like a Samsung derp was fixed or something!
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Xileforce:
Main change is reducing the multi-enter and exit times. We don't really know what they do afaik tho lol.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] whittikins:
Ah interesting, thanks! Are those adjustable in kernel apps? What are the actual variables named?
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Xileforce:
Indeed! The names are multi enter time and multi exit time. Kernel adiutor can adjust it for both clusters separately. We don't actually know what they do. The multi exit time stock is like 10x higher than it is now O_O just keep in mind that the controls usually only stick on the small cores. Big has some issues in 5.1.1
