arter, philz touch recovery bricked my phone. I was on latest 5.1.1 bootloader and wanam rom. I went to recovery and wiped data (wipe to install a new rom option). then I reboot to bootloader. now it's stucked in first "Samsung galaxy s6, powered by android" logo. it won't boot into rom and it won't boot into bootloader.

I hold vol- + power it just restarts the phone and then again it will stuck at "powered by android" logo.

EDIT: Nevermind... I forgot I had to hold 3 buttons to go to bootloader. Was using Nexus devices for a long time and I thought s6 key combination is same as nexus. hehe. phew...

But anyway, wiping data through philz caused this problem. I was on latest 5.1.1 rom and bl (wanam rom)

twrp

noobie here, if im using twrp do i still have to do the f2fs thing or can i just flash the kernel?

either way what is the reason for the f2fs part?
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] edzamber:
Its new for G920F and G925F about 2 days mate...
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Danzano:
Unless you know how to do f2fs conversion don't do it as you could end up with a soft brick and have to use Odin to save your butt

Also Google f2fs, it's a file system developed by Samsung for solid state memory that offers benefits over traditional ext4 however depending on the system in use the benefit is negligible. For the S6 my honest opinion having used both file systems is unless we get full aosp it's not worth the conversion.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] mugiwara_d_ash:
No reception

alright guys quick post. just wondering i read all the changelogs and stuff but like what are the immediate benefits or big benfits of flashing this kernel im on an S6. I mean i already falshed it but not too sure of whats changed ( i am a noobie).
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] EazyVG:
Tried top 3-4 kernels and this one has to be the best.

I wonder, is there a way and success in UV the Exynos and which margins is it 100% stable (can you please implement in this kernel). On my last Qual801 based phone (Z3) I was able to reduce the voltage by -75mW.

Also, how about OC, though this one is fast kernel, giving me about 114K on Antutu 6.0.1 and quite ok on the battery side...cool!

BTW, the only gripe is that it seems this kernel is not friendly with Kernel Adiutor it gets stuck on most menus.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] danveer:
ItS mostly tweaking thats been done to make your phone lesss prone to lags, a bit snappier.

Plus few optimisations done to increase battery life and optimise ram usage by reducing the ram leaks that plaged the lollipop.

It also adds the ability to futher customise the kernel behavious acco to users needs like undervolting/ underclocking

Chamging the governor ( instruction on how your cpu upscales or downscales )

If its working perdectly, thats all we need. ..;)
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Amin Nasr:
This is the best kernel in lollipop 5.1.1. Arter please bring this kernel to MM and also Make back to S7. we love your kernel and rom.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] mdcool:
Try this recipe. It undervolts quite much from stock (>100 mV sometimes) Tried almost same configuration for me (+25mV from everything there), no lags at all.

Adiutor does not work with this kernel at all, you can uninstall it. Use Synapse.

Well if you look at [MENTION=4898097]arter97[/MENTION] twitter then you'll see that he's mostly busy with an money making app. But he seems to still push some minor commits to the kernel git repository, so maybe he will release a new kernel version at some point.

Any chance on getting this on sm-g925a anytime soon?
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Prankey:
Is there anyway to move to another kernel? Everytime I try I get into bootloops. Right now am in a sticky situation where the device is soft bricked as I don't have a Lollipop ROM and flashed MM and its bootlooping. I have not been able to find a script to uninstall this kernel and install another one. Someone please help as stuck for hours.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] TENN3R:
You have to flash over your current rom, the same rom without wipe. This restores kernel and libs and after you have stock you can change kernel. Maybe there are best methods but doing this I never had problems.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Prankey:
Tried but it didn't work. Did a full wipe loosing all my data but still didn't work. Only flashing official firmware through ODIN worked! Wish I would have done that before wiping everything and loosing my important photos

Disk Usage

"One thing I noted is that F2FS has a much higher usage of the /cache partition than ext4, which is to be expected coming from a log-based file system such as F2FS" and..."only 4mb out of the 192mb /cache partition is used by ext4, while f2fs uses 68% of that same partition with 114mb used."

Regarding performance seems (due the speedy memory on S6) that switching to f2fs helps, but not so much.

hi arter... and other arter kernel user, im here for some confirmation, not to blame or anything

1st of all, is that mm stock kernel also perform worse comparing with previous version kernel(5.1.1)?

1) I found that clean install also having framerate dropping on heavy resources game.. example castle clash / COC but havent try on heavy 3D games or fps games. switching few kernel (but not stock yet) giving same result.

2) checking over benchmark and yes, confirmed antutu give lower mark on almost all test, except UX(thx to arter for ROW scheduler), even low benchmark on geek bench 3.

3) is there a way to disable swap/zswap?

[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] cazrack:
My personal responsiveness and performance settings adjustment for this kernel.

Updated to 2.0 with new findings but do not use if battery life is very important.

1. Install Kernel Adiutor

2. Set performance governor on Little A53 cluster

3. Restrict Little A53 cluster to max 1200 mhz

3. Set performance governor on Big A57 cluster

4. Restrict Big A57 cluster to max 1704 Mhz

You will find this to be very smooth but try different lower max speeds on Big A57 cluster for example try 1600,1500,1400 and 1300 to se if they are sufficient for you.

Personally I use 1704 Mhz. Anything above drain more battery life and generates more heath causing phone to be warm while not providing much better noticeable responsiveness and performance for me atleast.

Regarding Little A53 cluster, it is still being used on this kernel even if the Big A57 cluster is used alot more, I don't recommend lowering it's max below 800 Mhz since setting it to low will cause freezes from time to time when phone need to use it instead of the Big A57 cluster. A53 cluster generates significant less watt than A57 look at power curve links below, there is no point restricting it to much in order to conserve battery.

Will update with more information here soon.

EDIT :

Here are some watt reference numbers for A57 and A53 you can use to determine if a certain Mhz speed for responsiveness and performance is worth the watt it generates.

A57

http://images.anandtech.com/doci/9330/a57-power-curve.png

A53

http://images.anandtech.com/doci/9330/a53-power-curve.png

I don't not recommend anything above 1900 mhz on Big A57 cluster, remember I use 1704 mhz and find it to be good enough.

Also these power curves show watt when the cores are on 100% utilization, when cores idle or during low % utilization they generate significant less watt then these numbers.

If you're really into this you can run Geekbench 3 on every custom Mhz speed setting you make in order to get some hard benchmark performance numbers on each setting.

Make sure you run the 64 bit version of geekbench 3, the results screen should show a line with text AArch64 if you're running 64 bit version.

You can also save a battery life and get a less warm phone by adjusting screen brightness to as low as you find acceptable.

EDIT 2: Question if battery life if worse then stock Arter kernel settings.

Answer: YES! Definitely worse battery life.

I am not concerned about battery life, if you are I recommend stock Interactive governor on both A57 and A53 but if you still want to test it with as good battery life as possible you should try as low maximum MHz speed on A57 and A53 you find acceptable, if you set it too low it will hurt burst performance when it's needed.
