Testing..running just as expected so far..turned off ipv6 as my network provider doesn t seem to support it anyway...will this impact my batt life in a positive way i wonder?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] muffinsmuffy:
Master of the kernels thank you
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] UpInTheAir:
I think it's more to so with privacy. (leaking). My ISP doesn't support it, so can't actually test. The user I linked to in change-log has. I don't believe it will have anything to do with performance or efficient
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] aldoblaga:
[MENTION=3511708]UpInTheAir[/MENTION] i dunno what u did..if it s just the interactive governor modification that i saw in the github.. BUT MAN IS 3.7 FLYING! i ve never felt my note 5 as smooth as this...:))) and i kept the same profile as before on 3.6... Jesus christ u sure know how to make me fall in love with this phone over and over again :)))
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] kinglifer:
Thought I post this here. There is no visible cancel button on synapse front page. Note 5.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] muffinsmuffy:
Dude i actually noticed there is some major improvements i didnt know if its a placebo or for real so i didnt wanna post nothing about that so i don't look stupid also since since i changed my board so i didnt know if its the kernel or the board doing this but improvement there is
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] UpInTheAir:
I flash more than you can imagine for testing. Sometimes it's hard to pick up whether something is real or placebo. But I'm certain things (to my feel/observations) are much smoother in versions 3.x + I'm quite particular on what I commit to source, and being selective, don't employ a "shotgun" approach.

My next thing is to take a look at the BUG where original cable won't work with ROM Fast Charge. I have an idea where to start, but no promises as not even started yet ;)

All,

Anyway, happy some users actually enjoy the FREEDOM to tweak OPTIONAL "lame" Synapse settings :o No one forces anyone to do so, the kernel works for most as it is. Having 1000's of posts does not make you "advanced". Being experienced at kernel tweaking and ability to measure results and adjust by observation or benchmark etc does help towards that "title". Also reading and research helps with the understanding, which I never claim or imply to no all. Thats why Google is my homepage !! :thumbup:

Remember if you have issues, please read and search first. Post #3 has a lot of pertinent info, so try help yourself first ;) This thread does not entertain lazy members ;) Be proactive and I'm sure you'll receive a more cordial response :)

Enjoy :)

Edit, OT here. . .

If your in need of a break from the trolls, then just view [MENTION=5364232]Konsstantine34[/MENTION] signature gif. I'm easily amused :D

There's not meant to be, unless a setting or value is being / or has changed from what's already set.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] derride8:
What settings are recommended for this kernel?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] muffinsmuffy:
on this current version there is something you have done its super smooth not on benchmarking but general use of the device is smoother cant yet judge battery but all seems good here cable bug i didnt even know about it because im stock only my kernel is custom once again thanks for your support on this phone allot of us appreciate it
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] UpInTheAir:
I would recommend to read Post #3

and try a few general tweaks there. You can also try undervolt a bit, but too much will make your device unstable. Try CPU -25mV and work from there. You can also set the wakelock to 1 except GPS to 4. I also -50 mV GPU

Personally, I underclock the A57 to 700 MHz and GPU to 160 MHz so noticeable UI performance isn't seen when using the battery profiles.

For forget that all devices aren't equal, so you'll have to find your own sweetspot if you wish to tweak. Otherwise leave things as they are. You don't "need" to change anything if you don't wish.

Makes a change to hear good feedback from users willing to try a little for themselves. Nice :thumbup:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] muffinsmuffy:
Incredibly battery life 5 hours sot on 4G and still 51 percent battery life remaining give credit where credit is due [MENTION=3511708]UpInTheAir[/MENTION] your one hell coder wow
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] Лithium-Фusion:
I noticed that too. Not better than yours but its better than my older lol. Love that~ {2GHz-500MHz big and 1.4GHz-200MHz little, 700MHz-166MHz gpu, uV, default interactive govs, no battery mode or optimising app in use} :P

Watched FB videos for 1H
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] muffinsmuffy:
I never expected battery life to be so good with the performance im getting from it its really smooth without draining battery much better then stock i was only getting 4 hours sot on 4g but ive already passed that and im only half way
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] UpInTheAir:
BUG Fixed !!

Check this out !! Original cable ;)

So simple, but nailed the culprit :D

Revert "config: enable USB OTG support"

USB OTG still works !!

OT: Just re-realized my thanks meter smashed through the 10K. Wonder who that was ? Anyway, thanks to alI I was able to help out over the years.

.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] Лithium-Фusion:
Niceee job man. So it will work with that my firehose too? :P

Aww. Nevermind already lost that poor original cable :D Good to others :good:

Edit: [MENTION=3511708]UpInTheAir[/MENTION]

:p :D Congrats man~
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] UpInTheAir:
Yeah, the original was pathetic. I like the thicker, more robust Note4 cable. Copper can only be bent/manipulated so much, and the thicker insulation helps protect that (and from cross talk etc)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] muffinsmuffy:
I have both cable but use the note 4 one also seems to charger faster at the top end or when the phone is in use
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] aldoblaga:
I have to say [MENTION=3511708]UpInTheAir[/MENTION] ...you re overdoing it! I swear. I m angry with you man...how the f**k can you make this phone better with every release? I mean...battery life is at least the same (awesome) if not even better BUT NOW THE FREAKING PERFORMANCE I M GETTING IS INSANE! I mean it was smooth before..but now? It s baby butt smooth!!! what s next? :))) i can t even begin to fathom...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] sshafranko:
Yea i agree....been running 3.7 all day and so far feels like the best version ive used of any kernel to date...good job
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] muffinsmuffy:
Battery life is better for me
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] dreynam2:
Lol! I don't know how he does it. But, the best and perfect kernel I have ever tried. Give big props to [MENTION=3511708]UpInTheAir[/MENTION] don't know how just one guy creates such highly customizable and stable kernel.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] muffinsmuffy:
Currently performance is better and yesterday i got 9 hours sot [MENTION=3511708]UpInTheAir[/MENTION] is one of if not the best kernel coder I've ever seen at least he proved a few people wrong
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] UpInTheAir:
I don't need to prove anything ;) I try and test an awful lot before release anything.

I also never pretend to know everything either, that's why Google and I are buddies :)

Just trying to improve the crappy Synapse code I've implemented. There's syntax and legacy code need fixing and updating :o

Thanks

Not prefect, and never have claimed to be. Thanks for the encouragement though :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] muffinsmuffy:
You didnt try to prove anything mate but inadvertently you did you might not know everything but you sure do know how make one hell of kernel
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] UpInTheAir:
Reading, research and learning from others,.. and more of the same. Tenacity in some cases, and a lot of my free time :)

Forgot to mention most important, all the development contributors and users giving constructive feedback ;)

If you're running xposed that could be the issue. I had the same issues on my S6 edge. Removed xposed and it works
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] UpInTheAir:
A question best reserved for your ROM dev
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] UpInTheAir:
Maybe update today. :)

Some fixes.

Plus will patch this "recent" Linux SECURITY EXPLOIT !!

http://perception-point.io/2016/01/...f-a-linux-kernel-vulnerability-cve-2016-0728/
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] UpInTheAir:
v3.8 released

v3.8 update for

SM-N920-T / W8 device variants

Linux SECURITY EXPLOIT patched !! Analysis and Exploitation of a Linux Kernel Vulnerability (CVE-2016-0728)

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:

Original OEM USB cable will not Fast Charge - Has been partially fixed by THIS commit. It now works, but is intermittent. :( (use a better/thicker cable such as from Note4 and works everytime)

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

any time

, you need to REBOOT !!

Changing Interactive governor profiles when Interactive

is not used

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

Have fun :)

Cheers

Need help for some reason when I change the settings in synopsis for skyhigh kernal I still bet slower speeds then the stock note5. Can someone one help me.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] faslane:
Delete.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] UpInTheAir:
Could be any number of reasons.

1. Your device setup

2. Your ROM or firmware

3. External or kernel Tweaks

4. Ambient temperature

5. Device temperature

6. Your asv_summary

7. Apps abd background services etc

8. Swap in use

9. Other

If all settings are kernel default, then more than likely 4,5,6. The hotter the starting temp, the earlier the thermal throttling is invoked, so lower CPU/GPU frequencies in test. You van also stop unnecessary apps from starting, "close all" unnecessary apps menu, reboot and let cool for a while where ambient temperature isn't too high. Then test

My own device asv_summary is one of the worst and under default kernel values (generally) score less than average. I just have to live with it and enjoy the device and what i'm able to tune. ;)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] Лithium-Фusion:
Were yours 5,5,5,5 or sth like that? What a luck huh? :D I guess we could never know which device to buy with higher asv unless we buy the one and root etc. Right?? Btw I wonder which phone you're gonna use the next lol. I may need to buy the same with yours. I hope this question doesnt equal the eta :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] UpInTheAir:
Edit: yep, A57. Worse though.. it's a lottery.

I don't know. I'm happy with Note5 for now. Maybe Note6.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] muffinsmuffy:
Yes exactly another update wooooow

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] UpInTheAir:
Any feedback on ROM Fast Charging using original cable?

Is it fixed for some or now or intermittent in v3.8 ?

If intermittent, please try replicate the circumstances when it does and does not work.

Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] DLUX24:
It's hit or miss the first time I plug it in, but all I do is unplug and plug it back in and it starts to work.btw 3.8 is running great :good:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] Rx8Driver:
I am, and have since version 3.4 gotten reliable fast charge on a stock Note 5 cable as well as the Samsung cable that came with my wireless charging pad. Also the 10' long braided cable i got for $1 off the Wish app for a dollar lol all work flawlessly as does wireless charging, which was internment for me, in version 3.8...plus my benchmarks and battery life are all of a suddenly drastically improved over 3.7 and i can't explain why lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] muffinsmuffy:
Im using stock rom never had charging issues only wireless i dont know whats up with that also improved performance im not benchmarking anymore because asv is lower cpu 10 gpu 9 i guess im still lucky but better crazy performance

Same here. Stock note 5 charger and wireless charger Cable as well, I'm back on this kernel as of 3.7 same rom and same setup as I ran before and my degradation is gone, no more bog down and lag outs, it's back to normal as should be. No idea what the deal was before but I have changed nothing and all works as should. [emoji16]

Some battery stats from v3.8 before I update to 3.9. Thanks Up:good:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] UpInTheAir:
I'm glad I don't use FB. What a hungry app
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] lostsurfer:
Is there another app that can tie into facebook other than the app that's not a hungry hippo?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] hawkstwelve:
I use "tinfoil for Facebook" off the play store. Not nearly all the bells and whistles of the FB app, but I hardly go on anyway except to stalk people. Lol

Suitable alternative if you don't require every single feature of the main app. No battery consumption either.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] Fernas:
Impressive battery life, would you please share some more details about how you managed to get that much battery life? Im on v3.8, some tweaks from Synapse, running Stock SM920W8 rom on my 920T note and i really dont think i can get that much standby, pure SOT seems ok in my case, but i would like to keep some battery for when im not using the phone.:rolleyes:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] CanMan1:
Reduce wakelocks, alarms, and battery draining services. (check with GSam and BetterBatteryStats). Reduce kernel wakelocks (set wireless wakelock and bcm4773 to 3 or higher). Undervolt as much as possible, starting with the A57, then A53, and use HPM. I can post my voltage tables if you share your ASV. You should be able to get ~0.5-1% battery drain during screen off.

See guides below (Be careful with Amplify. You may not get notifications if you follow the guides without thinking about what you're doing):

[GUIDE] 0% [0.0%/h] Idle Battery Drain on Stock ROM (XPosed & Amplify Required!)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=3095884

✭[GUIDE][21/12]Extreme Battery Life Thread(Greenify+Amplify+Power Nap)✭

Edit2: Paragraph below is outdated

In my testing, you can't improve battery life through synapse more than ~10% after doing the above. So I decided to leave most things default, in particular, the battery saving settings which lower performance by about the same amount of increased battery life. I'm still testing this though, so feel free to tweak and test for yourself. I use PCMark for battery and performance testing, and I check the time in states to see what the synapse changes are doing.

Edit: See my first paragraph. UVing gives the greatest screen on battery benefits. See:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] aldoblaga:
Ok guys i don t know how to put this...but bluntly...3.9 gives me horrible battery especially idle drain...but also using the phone...so i reverted to 3.8. Sweet old 3.8 runs magnificently :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] CanMan1:
Nothing has changed in the code that will have a noticeable effect on battery AFAIK.

Without running the exact same test, you can't say if your battery life has changed because there are too many variables. Screen off battery is especially variable because of notification wake locks and alarms.

In summary, it's a placebo.

If you want to test it properly, remove as many variables as possible, then use a standardized test. For example, PC Mark for screen on, and leaving device idle with notifications blocked (eg. airplane) for screen off.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] aldoblaga:
I've veen running the same setup since version 2.8 came out :) nothing has changed..nothing was added or removed..all settings stayed the same - all versions prior to 3.8 had somewhat an improvement in battery life overall..then 3.9 causes a heck of a drain both idle and while using the phone as i've mentioned - so i had every reason to go back to 3.8 to see if it was indeed something in the kernel - and as far as i've seen, it s running as i hoped it would - perfectly, now that i reverted to 3.8. Maybe it s just my phone..not liking the kernel =)) who knows...we ll see when v4.0 will come out :))
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] Fernas:
Thanks for your reply, but im getting an error with Amplify that leads to Xposed framework, it says not ready yet for the Note 5 processor :/ am i missing something? Thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] CanMan1:
Install Xposed with this guide:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=3180960

[UNOFFICIAL][5.1.1/6][v79.1][20 Jan]Xposed for Samsung Lollipop/Marshmallow

Without battery, wake lock, alarm, time in state stats, and standardized testing, there is no evidence that there is any difference in battery life. The Note 3 can get better battery life if the above isn't followed. This is why review sites follow standard test procedures. It's so they can show relative and absolute differences in battery life.

Without strong evidence, it's a placebo until proven otherwise.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] aldoblaga:
Ok man...whatever you say :) i am the end user of my phone...if something isn t ok i will FEEL IT..and trust me it s no placebo when i switch back and forth to an older kernel and get the same result. I m just saying it s happening to me. I switched back to 3.8. That s it, if someone else experiences it ok, if not, ok.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] CanMan1:
If a user feels better by switching back to an older kernel, then that's the best choice for them.

After all, the kernel is supposed to make the phone (thus the user) feel better.

But don't go around saying kernel version x is better than y without any supporting evidence.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] UpInTheAir:
I just don't user FB. It's time consuming and IMO antisocial. But I don't criticise anyone for it. Is choice. XDA app is enough, but is not really social networking in the same way. I prefer to just voice or video call. .. or simple email ;)

There are other alternatives for just about any app. Maybe try the suggestion below.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] aldoblaga:
I found the culprit for the battery drain...will confirm it soon - it s the HPM threshold ratio...for some reason i set it to battery but it would still perform as on performance...after manually setting it on 700/256 everything is back to normal. Phew :D

EDIT: Confirmed!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] UpInTheAir:
I just checked. All works as described and sysfs values are correct for each profile when applied. They do not change as auto set r/o after apply.

I'm almost sure you either "dirty" flash the kernel, restored old profile, or applied existing profile (after not wipe Synapse data) after "Synapse boot cancelled".

Glad it's sorted :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] aldoblaga:
Yep...it was an old profile to blame..but it was from version 3.7 and worked flawlessly on 3.8...so...but yeah, i fixed it :D hehe
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] sshafranko:
Thanks for posting your fix and chasing it...so often people post things like severe battery drain then they disappear, and it leaves doubt in a lot of peoples minds about flashing that particular version. Thanks man that was nice of you especially to admit to restoring an older profile...

If anyone out there can give me a fair undervolt guide that would provide better battery life while preventing and shutdowns or lag.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] hawkstwelve:
Loving 3.9 - my phone has been sleeping like a baby ever since I went into Synapse and dialed down the wakelocks (see attached). Only one issue and I haven't seen it reported here so I assume it's something on my end but I have weird charging stuff going on. Started back on 3.8 I think.

Anyway, I plug it in (both stock charger and others) and sometimes it's fine. Other times, it acts like its dettaching itself. Makes a sound like you plugged it in, then looks like it unplugs, then makes a sound like you plugged it in, then looks like it unplugs. Very strange.

This morning I took it off the charger at 100% and it started making all these different sounds, sounds I've never head before, acted like it was plugging/unplugging itself rapidly, completely tweaking out. Reboot solved it.

Like I said, probably something on my end but just not sure what. No xposed, all Synapse settings default except wakelock controls, wiped Synapse data and did full wipe before flashing 3.9, on TekHD ROM. Any ideas? I can try to grab a log or last_kmsg if it happens again and it would help.
