[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Lonelyskatter12:
Skatter Kernel-v2 is a complete rewrite of v1. What makes this version of the kernel so special?

It's faster, even more stable, and has the ability to run any governor from a 3.10.y kernel.

I've ran many tests and can say, these governors have been playing very nicely with our d2 device. I have not added any junk commits, or any that would cause any battery drain. Also I'm sorry for anyone on marshmallow... but kernel from now on is only going to be nougat and up.

Also I would like to make an introduction to my "Skateractive" governor! :victory:

What does the Skateractive governor do anyways?

This governor is based on the linux 3.10.y Interactive governor.
I've written it to be mostly a "screen-off profiling" governor.
Meaning, I've added tunables that allow you to customize the governor while the screen is off.
These are...
Timer_rate_multiplier: Name speaks for itself, how many times to multiply timer_rate on screen off. Max number is 10.
Screen_off_maxfreq: Set the limit the max frequency can be reached on screen off.
Screen_off_maxfreq_single_core: If you're like me and use hotplugs you'll notice it can get a bit laggy with music playback when one core is online & max freq is 702mhz. So add a frequency limit for when only one core is online and the screen is off. :good:
* Not a tunable: But enabled powersave bias on screen off & on screen-on back to normal.
Also stripped governor of any unneeded code. For best performance.
