If we compare the benchmark scores using different kernels...i see there is lot difference in UX -Multitask & runtime.

Also the Score is increased in second test..even it is done after 1st test when my cpu was hot as f***

So it seems removing SELinux does affect multitasking, If the benchmarks are to be considered.(why to remove them?)

New GPU drivers in v7 doesn't do much difference

Same cycle as 7.0.

Here goes 8.0-alpha1, with cutting-edge changes.

8.0-alpha1

Scheduler, workqueue, network drivers, power-managements commits backported from mainline Linux and CodeAurora(Qualcomm)

for better performance, responsiveness and power consumption

(Thanks to XileForce)

This kernel is unstable and regular end-user should avoid it.

Try this only if you're brave and back-up before you proceed.

Most commits are from [MENTION=4517211]Xileforce[/MENTION]'s Git repository, with my own fix-ups here and there.

Hi arter, since version 7.0 beta 1, beta 2 and 7.0 final (and now 7.2), sometimes my device doesn't wake up from deep sleep.

I captured some log files of the most recent incident with syslog and hope that you can look into them when you get the chance to find the root cause.

7.0-beta1

7.0-beta2

If you're using Powernap xposed module you have to add "Android System" to the whitelisted apps and you won't have any issues.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Louizzz:
Please, I did undervolt and would return to the stock voltage. can someone tell me what are the values? not reinstall the kernel changes the values ​​for stock. I'm having freezing and need the stock values
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] pad11:
I use PowerNap without whitelisted Android-System, never had any deep-sleep or no-wakeup issue on all arter kernel's.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] ricardofago:
On Synapse, you have three values under every voltage bar when you modify it (before applying). If I remember correctly, the left one is the stock, the middle one is the current and the right one is the last applied value.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] ChilliBo:
where i find powernap?

EDIT: nevermind, found it
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] arter97:
8.0-alpha2 is up.

[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] bassie1988:
I noticed my kernel settings don't stick after I kill all my running apps. I've set the A57 cluster to 1500mhz max, and the A53 cluster to 1200mhz max. The A57 cluster does stick with the set frequency, but the A53 cluster jumps from 1200mhz back to 1500mhz as soon as I kill the app with the multitasking button. You guys have any idea how I can resolve this? I use Synapse to control the kernel settings. I've also tried Kernel Adiutor, but this does the same..

Verstuurd vanaf mijn SM-T810 met Tapatalk
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] pad11:
thats known with the A53 cluster max clock in synapse, it doesn't stick.

But here is the solution: install kernel auditor(root) and set only min/max clocks with it, it will override synapse. Use it myself with 1,9ghz big and 800mhz LITTLE :) u can still use synapse for undervolting
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] bassie1988:
Ok thanks! I'll give kernel adiutor another chance.. did you undervolt? Would you like to share your settings so I can test? I know each phone is different, but it would be nice to have an example [emoji6]

[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] arter97:
8.0-alpha2 is way more stable than I had expected.

I encourage many of you to try it out.

(But still, back-up before you do.)
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] pad11:
The HPM setting defaults to 25,000 for CPUs and 12,500 for GPU / bus, you can easily max values ​​on points so 62,500 , the hardware -based undervoltage unit does a great job .

here are a few lower frequencies which have long been running very stable for me:

GPU 266mhz @ 518,75mv

GPU 350mhz @ 593,75mv

MemoryBus:

100 -418mhz @ 525mv

the cpu 's are to calibrate my opinion, a little heavier , there are no real overclock-benchmarks for all frequencies and stability . test it by yourself - start gently with 2-3 steps per frequency and see if it is stable ( for several hours at least )

sometimes seems to be somewhat stable , but then it crashes after a few hours of deep-sleep

I'm wondering if the new "Dose" by Samsung isn't conflicting with Amplify, i'm getting more drain on 8 alphas than 7.Xs. BTW, is the "Mobile Active Radio Fix" Xposed Module still necessary? I'm wondering if it hasn't already been fixed by Samsung in one of their newest build.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Noxxxious:
1. Fake doze is just a a smart manager function and it probably does less than what greenify does. Real doze comes to marshmallow

2. More drain can be kernel related, i agree with more battery 1%/4min SoT thats why

3. Yes modulefix is required, it wont be fixed until marshmallow comes out. Afaik only back to note rom has a fix integrated
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] PragmaOnce:
I was briefly looked into setting SELinux to permissive mode, but was unable to find a simple solution. How did you manage to accomplish this? Were you able to do it on the original kernel or just in your custom build?

[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] arter97:
I've done some interesting benchmarks targeting semi-realworld situations which are not measurable with traditional benchmarking apps such as Antutu or PCMark, similar to the I/O scheduler benchmarks I've done earlier but with automated tool this time.

I used adb to automate and measure those 2

1. Repeatedly turning on and off the screen 100 times

2. Open up 25 apps sequentially and repeat it 5 times

And just in case, I've uploaded the scripts I've used to GitHub :

https://github.com/arter97/android_autobench

Versions below 3.0 were excluded as those do not support back-to-n0t3, which I'm currently using.

Versions that doesn't have significant changes in performance were excluded.

5.0 had a feature that returns cached memory to available memory to increase memory efficiency thus decreasing screen-on delay. Turns out it was making it worse, by a significant margin.

Future releases had it improved a bit, and that feature was removed all together on 7.0+.

There are only I/O scheduler changes in 5.0 -> 6.0, which is a switch from FIOPS to ROW.

The test itself was done with all apps and background services killed, so judging by the fact that FIOPS has an advantage over ROW on single-threaded read performance, it explains why, this test case in particular, ROW has a worse score.

In real-world, 6.0 is faster than 5.0(as I demonstrated in earlier I/O scheduler benchmark video). And thus, the second test's result can be perceived as my kernel's application launching speed was increased every time as the version goes up.

This test shows that 8.0-alpha2 is quite solid. (And I'm quite happy about it)

And there's actually one more interesting conclusion.

The ~150 commits applied to 8.0-alpha2 were taken from Qualcomm.

And these commits can be easily found in many S808,810 kernels.

I've found most of these commits on the LG G4. That explains why LG G4 surprisingly has very good real-world performance.

On the contrary, OnePlus 2 doesn't have any those commits as it's based on old Qualcomm's kernel.

That explains why OnePlus 2, despite it has S810 over the slower G4's S808, had much slower performance in this PhoneBuff speed-test(which I personally prefer):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JV8LlTxcIvY

This again proves Samsung lacks in software while Qualcomm does cutting-edge changes like (snap-snap-snap-snap)crazy, stabilizing it and opening it for manufacturer to go apply it.

It's a pity that our devices, which CLEARLY has a HUGE advantage over S808/810 hardware, doesn't perform as well as what we expect from such amazing hardware.

It's not even charging via USB - Looks like it needs to successfully boot before it will start to charge. Also as a last resort have tried restoring my backup but to no avail.

I'm also using swiftkey. With your "standard kernel version 1.0" all works fine with whatapp, facebook and so on for ~2-6h after reboot. Just touch input field and keyboard is shown.

After that 2-6h i get a 1-3s delay between touch of input field in whatsapp and swiftkey keyboard showing on screen. It is not so long in other apps. After the first delay there's no further delay in using whatsapp if it stays active. If i put it in background and "switch off" device the 1-3s delay will occur a few minutes later again. Maybe a memory thing?

Now i try TEST1.
