I think that you can greatly improve it by implementing what the unikernel dev refers to as "delag" fix. He added it in v4-0001 and was oddly secretive about it. Here's what he said about it: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=62024211&postcount=1562

Maybe you can figure out what it means based on the source. /shrug

Github: https://github.com/glewarne/S6_UniKernel

Another dev said the main changes were reducing the multi-enter and exit times to the interactive governor, but I don't think that's what g.lewarne was referring to because he said it wasn't a kernel thing, but more a touchwiz thing.

I'm willing to test for 920T. I'm dying for some DT2W
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] arter97:
I'd rather improve it in other ways.

Samsung implemented multiway governor profiles for a reason.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] matheus_sc:
Great, i see some devs talking about only interactive governor works fine in 7420
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] arter97:
I've loosened up the LowMemoryKiller a bit.

A bit more apps will be killed in the background to prevent a massive, just raw, freeze.

Many people are reporting that and the reason is, LowMemoryKiller simply ain't killing anything while there are no available memory.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] sanders132:
So I'm reading this right this kernel doesn't support g920T yet? T-Mobile variant.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] whittikins:
Honestly I don't know the technical aspects of it but just wanted to pass it along in case it could help you out. Can you shed any light on the "delag" he referred to? Sounds like he disabled a feature that the CPU supports because it wasn't optimized properly, is that right?

What do you mean by multiway governor profiles? I understand governors, but I haven't heard of multiway. I google'd but didn't find much on it. I'm just curious if you could spread some knowledge on it or point me in the right direction.

Hoping to test this one on my G925T after your next release.

Thanks!
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] arter97:
No. He changed the way how the interactive CPU governor used in Galaxy S6 to scale between different frequencies.

So if users are noticing better performance out of it, it'll most likely mean that the *new* interactive CPU governor favors higher frequencies.

Governor has tunables. Changing, optimizing tunables will greatly impact both performance and power consumption.

Samsung has took it to the next level with multiway profiles, the governor itself will change its tunables from different environments.

That has worked fine since the Galaxy S4 days. Now the S6 has HMP involved to that calculation.

I see nothing wrong with current implementation.

I must be really dumb because I can not get my PC to see see the internal storage when using Philz but I can with TWRP. Which version of Philz are you using and what steps within the recovery do you take to mount the storage?

Yeah, me too I just deleted my whole phone (f2fs converted) and I connected it to my PC to load the rom and kernel and now it won't detect my phone I'm in the "philz touch" recovery mode but I can't mount it... how come TWRP can do it but philz can't???

[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] arter97:
7.0-alpha1 is up and I've been testing it for only 3hrs. I don't expect this to be stable so be cautious.

7.0-alpha1

LowMemoryKiller replaced with CodeAurora(Qualcomm)'s version

LowMemoryKiller optimizations(via RBTREE) by Motorola merged

Adaptive LMK enabled

LMK values updated from Nexus 6

f2fs and other drivers updated to use new shrinker API

Automatic process-based memory reclaim method added and enabled

"Drop file-system caches on screen-off to reduce screen-on delay" reverted

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

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

Hi all,

i have tried to read up to page 15 last night, i am not sure as what i should be doing from the very begining.

Does the phone needs rooting before all these?

Also tried to find information on how to install CWM or PhilZ recovery but i cannot see any related post.

I would like to try the kernel and also together with the back-to-not3 ROM of arter97. But is there any guide to follow with related download link that is selfexplanatory and doesnt have to read all these pages.

PLEASE HELP

I maybe stupid but even with google search there is no guide on how to install any PHilz or CWM recovery....

My variant is G920I on 5.1.1 lollipop will that work?
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] edyny1:
After i format system, cache and data to f2fs i flash sickness rom v3, then i have to flash artel kernel v6.0 so i wont get errors at boot. After it boots up i do a disk check and see that cache and data is f2fs but system still say ext4 and in philz recovery before flashing rom it said system was formated to f2fs.

P.s why after flashing kernel with philz at reboot system it asked me if i want to recover recovery settings from sdcard?
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] pad11:
you need a f2fs-boot ready rom, only back-to-not3-Rom has this (with 5.1.1) sad but true

if not f2fs support rom it will format to ext4 while flash
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] davebugyi:
Not true. F2FS support comes from the kernel. However it really depends on he ROM, whether upon install the partitions are reformatted into EXT4. But as always you can remove the "format to ext4" lines from the installer script.

I'll try a cache wipe and restart and see if it helps. Probably an app is keeping it awake.

EDIT: alright, that solved it. Whatsapp had a bad day ;)
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] batuzai04123:
Perhaps, you didn't read carefully :)

However, you may use this guide and try this.

1. Go to this link, http://arter97.com/browse/exynos7420/kernel/ and download arter's kernel and philz recovery (the ODIN file with .tar.gz or .md5 file). Choose the latest version (6.0) as it is the most stable as of now.

2. Load the downloaded Philz recovery tar.gz file via Odin (PDA option)and flash it. (There are tons of tutorial on how to use ODIN). It will reboot after installation.

3. Boot your phone normally and put your kernel and back-to-not3 rom zip files in sd card/ internal sd card.

4. Boot into Philz recovery and install your zip files. (Additional steps are required if you want F2FS for your phone). FYI, Root will be present when you installed arter's kernel.

5. I wont delve into more details as it is provided by Arter itself on how to install his rom/kernel.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Indranuj Kar:
Yes the phone needs to be rooted. What your model number?
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] batuzai04123:
Thanks, but do you have idea on how often this radio wakelocks be running per hour? So i can have a basis when I test it on my phone.

[MENTION=4898097]arter97[/MENTION]'s v7 alpha

That's awesome :cool:

Incredible, More optimizations and updates

Thanks on this, by the way, you're right [MENTION=5264278]ioscheduler[/MENTION] when using ROW, phone is still snappier even if multiple apps are running in the background. No delays, no stutters even if im playing youtube background(xposed), downloading big files and playing MC5 at the same time.

I dont usually trust benchmark results for this, as I'm convinced with true user experience than numbers itself :)

Which one is better for kernel management? Kernel auditor or synapse?

[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] batuzai04123:
No one is better, depends on your preference.

But I like Adiutor as I'm using it and so far, no issues encountered.

I have read some threads that some changes in kernel wont stick with Synapse, perhaps its on Vindicator kernel. Never tried using it with arter97's.

Thank you -- couple of questions before i do something stupid...

When i go to arter97 webpage, under the s6 folder and under the folder kernel v6, because i own the G920I model i will download the g910fi kernel and the corresponding philz files right ?

Now as far as for the Rom, there many version there with xposed and wihout, whichever i download is the same right ? I want to download the latest back-to-not3_v9_xposed edge is that ok?

i don't want to F2FS my phone at this point in time cause i need to read more, i read it has better response and management but i will do it later on if everything is done correctly in the above steps.

Just in case everything goes wrong and this doesn't happen, how to i go back to stock rom? which guide is more usefull to read to return to stock? please provide me a link ... and do i have to be careful which stock rom i need to install??? if yes then what steps i have to take, only provide link and i will read... i need general guidance from experienced people so that i can understand the basics.

Many many thanks to both you my friend and Arter97 Certainly, and all of the team behind him and all the guys here, at least i see that some of you even that i am new tried to help me, but i am disappointed in others (not developers) but normal users that they do not reply or they are not trying to help. It doesn't mean that when you become expert you ignore people questions because they are beginners. One lesson i learnt from life is that whatever age you go whatever time it is, each person individually is an expert to a thing that he knows how to do best, but it depends on the persons character to be humble and even if he is the master he has to show other people or at least help as much as he can regardless of time. Time is always precious but since everybody are in this site, i think than an expert and self respected person (as i am an expert in other area) can say just a word this is a starting point for another person to start desire being a part of this whole crazyness and development :) :) because it is something fantastic. I came into my 30 to realize that money and knowledge is nothing if you don't know how to treat- talk and respect people (whoever or whatever they do).

There is a proper thread "Q/A" section for those who were new into these stuff.

Anyways, you may want to see this as a guide, http://forums.androidcentral.com/ambassador-guides-tips-how-s/499009-guide-samsung-how-flash-stock-rom-via-odin-new-interface.html
