This thread is for everyone that has the Samsung Galaxy note5 to the s6edge+ it does not mean that he has to have the note5 to be on this form
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] UpInTheAir:
Well.

1. You didn't give any feedback. If you call it "feedback", then it's "utterly useless". You still haven't provided any pertinent information that is a REQUIREMENT.

Think about it, Please elaborate what information did you provide that would be constructive to further development of this kernel or would assist others to help you? Making a vague statement is indeed useless for those willing, but in the end, to the author. ...

2. You have the wrong device variant, have you actually flashed a supported kernel? Now, if you'd provided a screenshot information regarding ALL your current device setup and firmware details might have helped to. .....

I'm not going to pull teeth. If you don't wish to respond in a proactive manner, then best you stay out of development. This is not a general thread.

3. This kernel doesn't have battery issues, and quite evident by user feedback and screenshots and testing. It's:

a) you

b) your device setup

c) not following requirements (wrong / unsupported) kernel)

d) not following instructions

You may wish to read that 2nd last sentence and repeat it over and over whilst looking in the mirror. ..

You say "hard to follow". Well, this could be construed as "difficult" and my previous reply was appropriate. . . I'm sorry, I'm always trying to improve upon Synapse, but sorry, can't cater for everyone's level of ability. It's not easy making a development project Noob proof. . . (Edit: and it's not meant to be)

I would encourage all users to watch >> THIS
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] UpInTheAir:
My first 30 % gone on test version with updated ktoonservative battery and default profiles.

Stock N920C K7 firmware

- No ROM or app tweaks

- kernel defaults (apart from ktoonservative gov testing)

- Wifi or data always on

- Screen on ~3 hours

- Overnight idle drain ~5% / 7 hours

- Poor network connection (LTE with -106 dBm )

- x3 Google accounts, 1x exchange sync

- x2 SIP VOIP account registered (1000 ++ wakeups )

Use mostly XDA, news, browsing, testing etc.

I think I'll push out a little update today. Now which variant first ... :confused:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] UpInTheAir:
v4.3 released

v4.3 update for

SM-N920-T / W8 device variants

Check out the gitHub Change-log (link in Post #2).

Not personally tested > I have a SM-N920C

Please CLEAR SYNAPSE DATA

before flash

: device settings > Applications > Application manager > Synapse > force stop > clear data

DO NOT restore profiles from older versions or other kernels !

XDA RULE #1 'SEARCH BEFORE POSTING". Please READ Posts #1-3 BEFORE flashing !!

BUGS:

Disabling "Turbo Mode" will screw up frequency scaling. So if you have disabled

any time

, you need to REBOOT !!

Changing ANY governor profiles when that governor

is not used

, will result in Synapse display errors. Nothing to worry, no need to change the profile if it is not used !

4.3 running great. I don t really fancy ktoonservative... Anyone else with me on this ? I find it to be slow.. Makes the phone less responsive and battery life is comparable if not exactly the same as battery profiles on interactive.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] CanMan1:
I agree (tested in 4.2). Real world performance is easy to compare with PCMark for Android. In a quick comparison, I found Ktoonsified to offer the same performance, but it consumed 25% more power.

Hopefully the new defaults are more efficient than interactive.

Edit: That battery life comparison was made with actual usage, not PCMark for Android. But due to the variable nature of actual usage, battery life may not be as bad I experienced.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] jdidtht:
Same here. Not a fan. Interactive best all around gov period. But the good thing is its there, and probably some folks use and love it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] UpInTheAir:
We've been through this before. .... Benchmark are NOT real world.

It all depends on how an individual uses their device and for what purpose. Values for one maybe great, and others not so. I don't watch hours of YouTube or gaming, others do.

I implemented some controls (although not to my satisfaction) for users to help test and tune ktoonservative. Their are only a few bothering (and thanks), but criticising from the sidelines isn't constructive to this kernel development or improve things for others.

We know (and I posted) that the profiles weren't "optimised", but a great place to start work from. . .

Yes, interactive is IMO the best all round. Some folks like to get their "hands dirty" with ktoonservative which is great for them and this kernel :)

I implemented user friendly ktoonservative controls so users could be proactive and help tune the governor and come up with varying profiles to suit different user habit. Thanks again to those being constructive and doing their best. I don't have the time for all that, so my latest adjustments may not be quite right yet. What may suit me could probably be unsuitable for another.

Because I can't fix Synapse how I like it, ktoonservative controls will revert to the basic form and profiles removed in v4.4.

I've said on many occasions that having a fancy name does not make it better. Most in that category require a heck of a lot of tuning for individual taste. Most aren't suitable or optimised out of the box. I like to stick with stable and proven mods and this is really a filler until marshmallow.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] CanMan1:
Perhaps I should have said:

"Real World" Benchmark

meaning that it simulates some common real world scenarios to give reliable and repeatable results. But since it doesn't stimulate how each individual uses their device, YMMV. But if it simulates what you typically do, (albeit with different apps) then the results will be fairly accurate. Maybe I incorrectly assumed this was common knowledge...

Edit: That battery life comparison was made with actual usage, not PCMark for Android. But due to the variable nature of actual usage, battery life may not be as bad I experienced.

Without benchmarks like these, you have no reliable way of measuring performance and battery life, unless you can suggest a better way? Don't suggest calculations since they need to be validated by measurements (or at least simulation). If you do have a better way, every phone reviewer would love to know

Criticising can be constructive. For example, if someone found that a default setting was not optimal and pointed it out (like in my post), then others can benefit by avoiding it. Basically, I suggested staying with interactive just as others have made their own suggestions (the post before and after me). But of course this is all anecdotal without objective measurement. One person's experience may not apply to another's:

It seems that I'm the sole target of your nit picking.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] UpInTheAir:
No. It's not constructive. Because all you've done is harp on about benchmark instead of being proactive on the issue and actually do something about it. Being proactive in Development is actually being constructive. Benchmark can be helpful, but do use with actual "real world" testing. What the user feels / sees should not be dismissed as you have in other posts. Their reports and testing shouldn't be regarded as "layman" as you posted in another thread. Observations of frequency behaviour and scaling under certain loads and conditions is equally useful.

You are only repeating what I've already said about user habit.... is nothing new. ..

I told you and others on multiple times that the governor requires tuning. That's why there was a ktoonservative beta. I've also stated (and repeat again as you choose to ignore) that ktoonservative still require optimisation. There are constructive users working hard on this. Much appreciated. :thumbup:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] CanMan1:
Well, I switched back to interactive and tuned it further. And I use a combination of benchmarks (initially) and actual usage to test settings. Phone reviewers don't rely solely on benchmarks either (Eg SPen lag)

Updated my last post. These long replies are becoming counterproductive.

Edit: Imagine if every performance comparison on earth was anecdotal and needed to be repeated by every end user. That's a lot of wasted time and resources, thus objectiveness is needed and used by phone reviewers. You don't choose kernel defaults based purely on your anecdotal experience (I hope)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] UpInTheAir:
I've always stated I personally prefer interactive governor. I've never denied that.

But this is a DEVELOPMENT thread, and trying new things and optimising for the device and for how we use it is part of it. I don't criticise anyone for using performance governor. I know some use it as their daily driver. And I don't suggest users trying to be constructive and improve the ktoonservative governor tuning are "layman" (as you called them) either.

I've really had enough of you and your nit-picking. All you've done is preach to me and others what they should and shouldn't do.

Being in a Development thread is no place for negative attitude that is not conductive to helping improve what is shared as a result of 1000's of hours of hard work.

From now on, you're on my ignore list as I just tired of your continually preaching and telling what I should and shouldn't put in my kernels and Synapse.

Good luck.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] CanMan1:
Layman was meant as an analogy with doctor. Don't take it literally.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] UpInTheAir:
Not problem mate.

Somehow, I don't believe SM-N9208_TW is supported in any of my threads, maybe I "accidentally" added it . . . :confused: :eek: can you please check it ?

Anyway, just merged in some new N920CXXU2APA2 source and all sorts of problems. . Can't wait for Android-M source. Will start from scratch. I'm only going to use

only

N920C / N920I or N920T sources in future. I'm sure a merge conflict caused by other variant. Too much work too sort out. Not sure if other variant will be supported, if can use same source, then OK, if not, then unfortunately that’s just bad luck.

Something like this
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] Rx8Driver:
Did you guys clear synapse data before flashing the kernel?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] SeVIIn:
Not facing any random reboots, did a nice clean flash, but seeing the same cortex error as above.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] Лithium-Фusion:
No reboot yet, no errors.. from edge+ (Selected all globally in Synapse, wiped data and flashed the kernel).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] faslane:
I always do yep.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] UpInTheAir:
I probably forgot a file. Just working with and support too many variant. ..

I'll take a look soon and see if it's what I believe and build v4.4.1.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] UpInTheAir:
Just about to upload v4.4.1.

Reboot won't have anything to do with (actual) kernel. Nor has v4.4 any changes that would cause such.

Follow the install instructions and requirements section in Post #2..

By the looks of it, the latest update appears to be a "winner". :)

I've found a couple little issues with CortexBrain, have rectified and committed. Currently in testing. I might test those binder patches a number of kernels have been using.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] aldoblaga:
So...what do you think when marshmallow comes out...how hard do you think it will be to code a kernel for that? I m just asking because i presume it s gonna take a couple.of months until there will be like...v1.0 beta for mm...right?

Anyway, loving 4.4.1 - the cortexbrain add on is awesome! I really don t think i ll switch to mm very soon seeing as how well the phone responds...and from what.i ve seen on other phones there s not that much of an increase in speed.and what not...

Cheers man!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] UpInTheAir:
I don't code any kernel. Thats what Linux > Google > Samsung do. But try to make it SkyHigh though ;)

Requirements:

1. Samsung release Android M for my own N920C

2. Require appropriate source release to compile

3. Time and / or motivation

4. Possible decrease variant support

If the above points are met, then 5.1.1 kernel will be discontinued.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] UpInTheAir:
Quite happy with what i'm testing right now. A possible v4.5 update tomorrow. Will depend on other commitments ;)

Edit: forgot to mention, user won't need to clear Synapse data before flash anymore. The v4.5 zip will do it for you automatically. It's a requirement, so no need for the option. You can take a look in my gitHub if you're that interested ;)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] NotATreoFan:
If you want another tester, feel free to PM a link. My phone sits a lot during the day where I'm working for the next few weeks, so idle drain will get a good test... :)

It's all good for the moment thanks. Will keep this as an open-ended offer though :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] faslane:
But what if its not open ended? Lol ;)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] UpInTheAir:
There will be "hell to pay" :o

Anyway. In my quest to find the intermittent issue with fast charge using original cable, got sidetracked and I've experimented with "store mode". I'm still not sure whether it refers to:

a) Use for Live Demo Unit in retail shop (store)

b) Battery charge capacity for long term storage and retail / ship to customer

In source, max is 70 and min 60 %.

I've enabled, made this a configurable sysfs in source and also Synapse to control this. Master switch and max both work, but min. .... IDK. .

EDIT:

Store Mode Maximum: If current battery capacity < Store Mode Maximum, then charging will STOP when it reaches this MAX value.

Store Mode Minimum: If current battery capacity > Store Mode Minimum, then charging will START when it reaches this MIN value.

I'll include it in the update and see what constructive feedback we get ;)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] CanMan1:
Edit: The Installation instructions look the same... So you can ignore my post for now.

Encrypted device users will still have to wipe synapse data manually before flashing since TWRP doesn't support Samsung encryption.

Edit: Assuming the zip doesn't wipe synapse data after booting and decrypting (Ie it uses mounted data in recovery to wipe)

Edit2: I don't think UITA will see this since he added me to his ignore list...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] steve97ta:

I don't see how your reply is relevant or related to kernel development. UITA is free to ignore my posts and continue developing. No one can stop him.

Edit: The Installation instructions look the same... So you can ignore my post for now. I was referring to:

My post was for encrypted device upgrade instructions.

Anyone with an encrypted device will have problems with the current instructions (with my assumption before).

This will save the dev time from answering posts from encrypted device users who have followed instructions (assuming they didn't already try wiping synapse data)

In my experience, battery life is better then stock right out the gate. However for maximum battery life, yes you would need to tweak it
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] Lmax579:
What are the best settings for battery life? My battery for down quickly with this kernel :confused:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] scrappy610:
Honestly it varies device to device. Go into synapse, info, and post a screens hot of your asv in this thread:

https://tapatalk.com/shareLink?url=...hp?t=3303367&share_tid=3303367&share_fid=3793

Synapse settings for performance, speed and Battery

They will help you achieve and explain what things do to get you the performance they want. It's most of the same people but created so this thread is used for the development of the kernel. This way no mods get involved and no one gets overlooked. [emoji106]
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] Reisher:
How different is this Kernel compared to the "stock modified" kernel from another major post here?

I'm running the stock modified one and my antutu is somewhere around the 58K.

that's pretty horrible compared to the Note 5 performance listed there.

and if I want to simply switch my kernel from the stock modified one to this one in this post could I just flash it with twrp or should I restore everything to stock and do it all over again to get it all working like it should?

Suggestions?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] Лithium-Фusion:
Too different. . [MENTION=2226640]aldoblaga[/MENTION] 's note5, my edge plus.. You better do research in Antutu score thread after checking the reasons of low antutu scores in the OP. Good luck.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] Reisher:
Yeah they are probably different but which one works better on the Note 5?

kinda hard to compare maybe someone here could suggest anything.

and my question, do I need to restore to stock or I should just flash this kernel over my "stock modified" one?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] Лithium-Фusion:
58k and 100k, umm. :o Not seems hard to compare man. Suggestions about antutu; already in antutu thread. Actually all of your questions are answered in the op, I think there wont be suggestions here in 'Original android development thread', the developer already told thi over and over again. Dont get me wrong ;)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] muffinsmuffy:
:o flash the latest flash over the one you have and your good also download synapse from play store to mod the kernel
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] jdidtht:
Just try it instead of asking everyone which works better. This kernel is highly customizable and tunable if one so chooses. If one just wants to flash it and go, then this is also a fine choice. You don't have to tune anything as it will flash as a stockish type setup just with added features one can tune as i mentioned above. You really can't go wrong to try it out. Let us know.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] dirtybudha:
It sounds cliche but every phone really is different. I've had two identical Note 2 and flash the same ROM, but only one of the phones could handle the ROM. The other one crapped out.

Just baby steps and see what settings work really well for your individual device. Personally, I just undervolt by one step down. This works for me.
