Just a quick warning. I flashed this kernel yesterday. All good initially, booting, speed, even charged during the day for half an hour and it seemed fine. I came home, put the phone to charge overnight, wake up in the morning late cause the alarm didn't go off, check the phone: DEAD. So yeah, I now have dead mi5. Yay!
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] razibrizal:
Does Mi5 support auto cut charge? I think no, so i never put charging over night

Update: Apparently the phone doesn't charge with the regular "fast-charge" charger, but when I plugged it in to a "slow-charge" charger (1 A) it started charging.

So question: How can I restore the original Kernel? Thanks!:good:
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] sydeu:
Just dirty flash the rom you are using
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] sazinas:
Dirty flash? :confused:
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] sydeu:
Flash the rom you are using without wiping data.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] fuxmen:
can anyone else confirm that?
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] otonieru:
No,

It charge normally with any of my chargers

One at home

One at office

It even charge with car charger

All are normal 2A chargers
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] sazinas:
Make sure that you get my point which is related with my PREVIOUS comment regarding a dead phone. It's probably something that I messed up during kernel then rom installation. Thanks.

[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Harrynowl:
Hmm, what build was this do you know?

Based on your other posts it could be that your charger packed up.

I'll investigate, but in my own testing I could go from zero to 100% just fine using stock xiaomi charger and my own.

To restore stock kernel please flash the rom you are running (presumably cm13). It will restore its default boot image.

harry is it a bug or is it not possible to get 32gb mi5 to 2.3ghz
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] otonieru:
He mentioned it above,

There's few missing lines in the code that still need to be looked at for the 32GB configuration,

And, yes, currently 2.3 is unusable on 32 model
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Harrynowl:

Hi [MENTION=7738209]Harrynowl[/MENTION], could I request to add Capacitative touch led options? I know CM settings menu has the settings, but I somehow mine doesn't work. I remember setting it (turning leds off) via kernel aduitor many many weeks ago (on a forgotten cm build) and now my capacitative leds never turned on again (even when flashed to miui).

Edit: Of course, many thanks for enabling full speed access to our devices!
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Harrynowl:
This is by "design".

It's only a very initial overclocking implementation that doesn't require playing about with the regulator.

A better/more complete overclocking solution with added regulator steps, modified tables, driver and more looks a bit like this: https://github.com/flar2/angler/commit/318bebe173f2807d1dce8d6acb1bfa75c333a6c7

For now, this is a little way off. As far as I'm aware no msm8996 kernel has a full implementation like this yet.

For people having issues with the clocks not reflecting in benchmarks. It looks like the blu_active governor will need a tweak or two. Using default interactive on my 64GB device does reflect improvements in benchmark scores.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] otonieru:
This is true

For benchmarking, you should set the device to performance mode,

Both in kernel manager and CM battery setting
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Harrynowl:
Do we have any 32GB users that are feeling brave?

If so, could you flash (or fastboot boot) this. It's a different implementation to getting full CPU speeds on 32GB devices (will be 510 adreno for the moment though).

The reverse worked on my 64GB (I could slow it down to 1.8GHz) but I don't have a 32GB to test with.

If you can provide a CPU-Z screenshot (assuming it boots up!). That'd be great. :good:
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] gowtham300:

How to make battery life last longer? Does underclocking extend battery life in snapdragon 820?
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Rmyaseen:
Yes plz do something for battery life , is it possible to get 10hrs SOT by doing somethng to kernel?
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Harrynowl:
This is a good start. If you set CPU min+max to 2150 and 1593 via a Kernel control app like Kernel audiutor do they

a) set

b) reflect a performance increase in a cpu benchmark like geekbench? (1.8 scores about 3500-3600 in geekbench 4 multi core)

If this implementation works things will be much easier than the existing solution to get clock speed parity between 64/128GB and 32GB devices

Thanks for your time
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Harrynowl:
This might be interesting for you:

http://elementalx.org/the-truth-about-kernels-and-battery-life/

Battery life is mostly about how you use your phone. There's no radical tweak that could be made to add 50% to SOT.

Limiting CPU speeds can help with drain but remember the CPU will remain active longer to do the same task.

Thanks for your feedback, I'll look into it.

On the plus side, it is loading the correct table as a start.

On a different note (for everyone). Please keep discussion about this kernel and other custom kernels OUT of the CM13 development thread. I appreciate the interest in improving your device but that is not the thread for custom kernel discussion.

It is only for CM13 development discussion. Not general Q&A, not endless feature requests, not does it work with x kernel.

Hey harry I have a 32gb mi5 as well as a 128gb one I've used your kernel on my 32gb mi5 I can't seem to set it to 2.15 ghz
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Harrynowl:
By this do you mean it reverts back to whatever it was, or the frequency is not available? What CPU governor are you using? My early testers back from what was basically just 1.0 could confirm that their device improved in benchmarks (and set)

Please try the non-OC boot.img if you are using the OC one.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Pedroenf:

[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] dadme:
Just look at this: http://xdaforums.com/oneplus-3/how-to/advanced-interactive-governor-tweaks-t3476589

We need a switch to disable touchboost, and tweak interactive governor to extreme (or disabled by default in kernel). With tweaked governor you can get even 12h SOT on light usage.

with the 2.3GHz OC couldn't find the 2.3 step not even with "not used frequencies":

and this is my result at 2.1GHz:
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Harrynowl:
OK, so it's possible for you to set 2150MHz and have it stick? Does this only work if you also set min to 2150MHz? Because some 32GB users are reporting issues.

Are you using the stock or OC boot.img? Please try the stock one.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Pedroenf:
Tried stock and it booted. Maybe i was doing it wrong, i flashed your kernel before 1st boot after CM13 fresh install.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] :
That's exactly what I did, and yes it sticks.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Harrynowl:
Does it still retain a max frequency of 2150 in the program & in benchmark scores if you set the minimum frequency to something lower? Trying to determine the problem as I think it might be the cpu boost driver.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Pedroenf:
I have the 1.2.1 (had 1.3 stock and same result) and i don't "see" any improvement! Benchmark score are even lower than with MIUI 6.9 Development Rom. You sure that the OC is real? I mean, if it OC the cores to MI5 Plus shouldn't it have same benchmark scores? Or almost the same? Max i had in antutu was 1200000!
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Harrynowl:
CM benchmarks lower than MIUI in antutu

User on last page already demonstrated performance improvement in geekbench

And the 1.3 stock image has no OC past 2.15
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] GalaxyS4_Lollipop:
Dude, if you want to do a fair test, test the CM13 whitout this kernel, then flash this kernel, let your phone rest some minutest, then do another bench.

When a cm is at the beginning, almost every time in benches is lower that the original rom. Cause is not finished, this is perfectly normal.

So do a fair benchmark and come again.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Pedroenf:
Dude, i did it. The 120000 (round number) was with CM Kernel. The benches with this kernel where much lower.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Harrynowl:
Or just enjoy using your phone and disregard what antutu says :good:
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Pedroenf:
Well i was just trying to bring some info to the coder. I recognize every effort from every coder to bring something new to us and for FREE. If the kernel is just to enjoy and use the phone not bringing anything new to it it better just stick with stock kernel :)
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Harrynowl:
My device is doing fine :svetius:
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Pedroenf:
That's what i'm talking about! Can you please tell me the settings in kernel adiutor to achieve that? Maybe i'm doing something wrong!
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] GalaxyS4_Lollipop:
And did you let your phone to rest some minutes?

When I bought my phone (Mi5 pro 128GB) I used it about one hour, installed a lot of apps and when I did the first bench with Geekbench I got a very lower score. I did another and the same. I was pretty mad and I thought that I bough a fake MI5. But I arrived home, I let it on my desk some miutes till I finished my launch.

When I did another benckmark, after one hour, I got 132K (antutu).

In geekbench, a higher score too.

And I did realised what's happening. This phone have a protection, to not overheat. If it reaches a X amount of degrees it will work with a lower power to prevent heating.

Maybe you did this, but if you did a bench after you heavily use it, you might get a weird score.

Good luck !

New 1.3.1 experimental-2 image for people to test.

If a 32GB user can test if they are now able to select the 2150 frequency in kernel control app that wasn't available in 1.3.1 experimental-1.

It also includes a few goodies as well that will be in the next release

Namely-

Some oneplus 3 goodies that allow for touch boost to be disabled

CPU boost will no longer override your max frequency set

Fsync toggle

Few performance tweaks
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Harrynowl:
For now- it is gone. Want to focus on making what's currently implemented work properly :)

At the moment I am working on implementing a mod into the driver(s) that forces use of speedbin0 values even on speedbin1 devices, rather than having to modify all the tables.

2150 Max (302 min) - ondemand.

1593 Max (302 min) - blu_active.

GPU max frequency - 624MHz

That's about it.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Pedroenf:
Thanks. And about I/O? Or it makes no difference?

I'll try it now.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Harrynowl:

It seems the touchboost disable is not working, the 2150mhz working fine, maybe you can fix input boost to working?

EDIT : The touchboost isnt working on the blu_active but on the interactive is working fine, its great i very like it wohooo
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Harrynowl:

harry im a 32gb user i tried your experimental 2 image i wasnt able to set 2.15 in kernel auditor but i tried ex kernel manager i've set it to 2.15 but it automatically comes down when i tried antutu and geekbench then i set the min frequency of the big cluster to 2.15 small to 1593 and 624 as the min then i achieved higher scores

---------- Post added at 04:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:52 AM ----------

harry if you could create a hangout group for this kernel it would be better and you could get faster responses
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] :
just to clarify, this is OC 2.3GHz version not the new experimental version, I sat min to lowest for both big and lil, also used blu_active, and yes it sticks and translate into a performance as u can see from the geekbench score :)

one thing to mention is, I can see 2.3GHz I click on it it gives me instead 2.1GHz.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] :
So I tried the experimental version 2, and in both interactive and blu_active max frequency sticks on 2.1GHz for BIG cores, but interestingly min frequency does not! the min values keep fluctuating between 307MHz and 1036MHz, and you can see in the table that 1036MHz had been used compared to an older build it didn't.

Also Little Core max now sat at 1593MHz
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] gowtham300:
Hey how did you manage to set it at 2.15 I'm trying to set it but it doesn't set it goes to 1456mhz or 1080mhz then if I manage to set it at 2.15 after few minutes it drops to 1850mhz I also agree with the min value issue I also cannot set the little cores btw the gpu i set it at 624mhz I try to do gfx then it comes down to 324mhz I'm on official cm

What battery profile are you on ?

CM13 battery profile will override the kernel setting, thus locking the freq back,

Btw [MENTION=7738209]Harrynowl[/MENTION] am on your latest 1.3 (not experimental) and little cpu managed to locked properly to the overclocked frequency (1607) and big to 2.15

So i think the implementation is about there already, the only thing left is only how to override cm batt profile, so it wont mess with freq. Too bad cm doesnt give us "disable" option for the profile

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kimiraikkonen85:
Hello guys,

This is my first "problem" post on XDA, and it's really nice to hang out here reading the knowledge of lots of professionals. However i have a problem with my Galaxy S4 (GT-I9500)'s USB dial-up modem functionality which is not working on Android version is 5.0.1 Lollipop, using Stock Samsung ROM + TWRP Recovery, rooted device.

The problem, as i'm running on Windows 7 x64 SP1, and i first installed official Samsung USB Drivers For Mobile Phones installer (1.5.51.0 - not Kies) just fine and connected by S4 using an OEM USB cable,

the device was recognized just fine

including the following entries:

- Samsung Mobile USB Composite Device

- My Device Name (as MTP Device)

- Samsung Mobile USB Modem

- Samsung Android ADB Interface

[IMG="Detected devices"]http://i.imgur.com/9cTxQ3E.jpg[/IMG]

But, i see NO "Ports" category and any entry like "Samsung Mobile USB Serial Port" in device manager, hence the problem is, although the device is recognized as Samsung Mobile USB Modem fine in device manager with no exclamation warning, and it seems that the modem is attachted to COM4 virtually, but i CAN'T get any response from modem when i click "properties" > "diagnostics" > "Query Modem" --- "the modem failed to respond" error, can't open COM4 port.

[IMG="Error screenshot"]http://i.imgur.com/x1gUcIc.jpg[/IMG]

Note that this is my first Android device, i figured out that it's connected at "MTP+ADB" mode which is default as can be seen from *#0808# dial menu. And since using TWRP,

there is no "Enable CP Logging

" option if switching to DM+MODEM+ADB mode is required to get response from COM port. True?

What am i missing here? The dial-up funcionality was fine on my ancient Nokia S60 Symbian phone with no hassle and it was automatically detected by Windows. Now with Android, it's a bit confusing for me.

What i'm trying to achieve is that i should be able to query modem and get/execute AT commands from serial port terminal (eg: puTTY) just like on old days, and want to use it as dial-up USB Modem on my old desktop PC which does not have a built-in WLAN adapter to reach the internet.

Any help is greatly appreciated.
