Try the kernel's settings and see if the crackling get's worse or better. (don't tune it)

Also, what's the timer rate you've set up?

Haven't been released yet. You can see it as my 'to-do' list.

I didn't have any problems... I'll wait for other people with similar issues.

That's the idea.

Didn't touch sound at all, stock LOS kernel when it comes to it now.. I have no issues with crackling sounds, does it happen with screen on or off?

You're welcome.

After Flashing Alpha 2.1 Problem solved :D
[Lenovo Vibe K5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] IagoJevaux:
So, the only thing I changed was the minimum freq to 400mHz instead of 960 on big (Boost was set to 960 so basically it did nothing) and the minimum freq to 400mHz on little to save some battery while Iddle without hitting performance;

Entropy I increased to 128/256 (lowest value to not have imput lag and not draining battery like crazy);

I/O changed to "deadline" with 1024kb read-ahead (optimum for 16GB internal memory), removed I/O stats and added entropy to I/O;

Decreased swappiness to 25 and cache pressure to 10;

LMK changed to use cpu and save memory (to counteract lower swappiness and prevent deadline from crashing apps).
[Lenovo Vibe K5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] Orioli:
Well, when I tried vegito kernel, my FM radio stopped working, so maybe this one could have the same issue...

But according to other posts, it's working, so I'll try this one later :)
[Lenovo Vibe K5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] :
Good.

Well, I have no idea.

The minimum freq of both clusters should be 200MHz by default. The big cluster is reverting to 960MHz after resuming from suspend (known bug, I'm troubleshooting).

I haven't experience any problems with audio. The frequencies are quite sensitive and CPU power should be enough to deliver it. Does it happen with screen on/off?

Also, don't set 'add random' to 1. It causes overhead and was designed to use with rotational storage. What we have is flash memory (solid-state storage).

You mean LMK or KMS?Because the later is already set up by default (you can see it happening in dmesg).

And check if it does persist without anything changed.
[Lenovo Vibe K5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] IagoJevaux:
The minFreq as by Kernel adiutor was set to 960000Hz on Big an 1113600Hz on Little. I manually changed them to 400 and they persist even after resuming from suspend.

I add entropy from storage because I set the kernel to treat the flash storage as a rotational thus reducing load on cpu at higher I/O (still don't know if it's worthy to degrade the flash faster to get some more CPU juice hahah).

I meant the KMS ;P Your setup uses more cpu to save memory and scans 256 pages every 1500ms, I set it to use more memory and save cpu and scans 512 pages every 1500ms.

Still didn't have time to test sound.
[Lenovo Vibe K5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] :
About the sound issue, we'll probably need Lenovo to release the blobs from MM. But I'll try some things.

That's input boost. These frequencies are set up for 150ms at each input from the user, then it goes back. Big however, is stuck.

That doesn't make any sense.

Also, default 'io_is_busy' flag is set to 0.

How the hell does scanning 2x more pages saves more CPU?

If you check dmesg you'll see it's using deferred timer..
[Lenovo Vibe K5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] IagoJevaux:
In Kernel Adiutor I have the option to either increase CPU to save memory (KMS) OR I can disable KMS and enable a different opinion still under KMS that does the opposite, uses less CPU in exchange of more memory. See the screen shot. Also, I set to 512 pages simply because that's the parameter I researched and some people recommend (default KMS without your setup is to scan 100 pages with 0 delay).

Also, on SS 2 and 3 you'll see that my Big cores freq are staying at 400000Hz. Only jump to 960000 with impulse. Same for the little cores. Still didn't get what you're saying about big stuck in 960000.
[Lenovo Vibe K5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] :
The big minimum frequency is stuck at 960MHz when the screen is on, and at 400MHz when the screen is off.

Cat the files and you'll see what is happening.

That's not the default behavior. Check the files after a boot, or your dmesg. Don't trust kernel adiutor.

You're doubling the number of pages to scan and claiming it reduces CPU load, while it does the opposite.

Default is:

write /sys/kernel/mm/ksm/sleep_millisecs 1500
write /sys/kernel/mm/ksm/pages_to_scan 256
write /sys/kernel/mm/ksm/deferred_timer 1
write /sys/kernel/mm/ksm/run 0

This is hard-coded in the ramdisk.
[Lenovo Vibe K5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] IagoJevaux:
Ok, since you're the one developing the Kernel I trust you. Just reporting what's being shown to me by third part apps. If Kernel Adiutor is not trustworthy, which app do you suggest for tuning the Kernel parameters?

Thanks for being responsive and sorry if bothering you :)

This Kernel is indeed very fast and stable!
[Lenovo Vibe K5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] :
You don't have to trust me, check the values on each file after a boot (give it a full minute or so) or read the dmesg log, and you'll see.

I do not know any apps, most of my configuration is done by hand. I just check the manually via adb (cat command), altough it's not feasible all the time.

KA is ok. Some settings doesn't seem to be read correctly however. That seems to be the case with KSM, so make sure to double-check.

Not a problem.

Edit: the reason for add_random set to 0: https://wiki.samat.org/SSD
[Lenovo Vibe K5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] nlooooo:
Ok, this is for now, the gap on line is when I flashed kernel, wiped cache and dalvik. SOT 2h 34min by now. No issues, no bugs. Applied conservative governor, min fq 400MHz for both cores, boost fq 960MHz for big and 998MHz for LITTLE, noop sheduler 1024 read ahead.

AOKP 17th Apr build.
[Lenovo Vibe K5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] IagoJevaux:
Any news on development? Are you testing AVS and Dynamic Fsync? Looking forward to rc0!!!
[Lenovo Vibe K5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] CygnusBlack:
I know this won't quench your thirst but...

From the changelog:

in progress...

1. Merge commit 'v3.10.67' into msm-3.10

2. update bw_hmon (depends on a bunch of other drivers... will take some time)
[Lenovo Vibe K5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] mancha250:
I want say sorry to have report crackling sound with headset above, now this problem is solved with a clean install. Thank you
[Lenovo Vibe K5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] Lautaro Mondaca:
Overall I dont know if its placebo effect but everything feels smooth with this kernel, battery seems ok, performance for daily usage its perfect (i dont play much games).

Things i would like to see in this kernel:

• dt2w or s2w

• Even better battery backup if that its possible.

• Ability to color calibration with profiles from kernel auditor like in Vegito Kernel

Keep your god work, waiting for next version

ROM Mokee Oficiall 7.1.2

Primary Language: Spanish
[Lenovo Vibe K5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] :
Battery backup should be good already. I've had reports of people getting 5 hours SOT from 3~4h and one with 6h+ SOT (mixed wifi/LTE, but mostly Wi-Fi). It all depends on the user usage, compare with stock kernel and see if the results are good for you.

I didn't get a chance to test it yet, too many reboots. But I'll watch it for some possible optimizations. Also, have you tuned anything?

Everything else has already been added for next version.

It'll be released once I troubleshoot a GPU problem causing stuttering... It'll take some time.

(I will probably revert the entire branch... still learning how to properly do conflict resolution)

Haven't tested yet. Enabled for next version, but unstable.

It's ok. Keep the feedbacks coming.

Edit: I may release a battery profile later on, but expect some performance drops. Meanwhile you can try lowering the input boost values by one frequency step, and setting a higher duration to prevent stuttering. See if it works for you.
[Lenovo Vibe K5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] Lautaro Mondaca:
I use the kernel with your stock config, nothing changed. Maybe I don't express myself correctly, I don't speak English very well. Battery is great but if could be better then that could be great :)

Great news, waiting next version to see that changes!
[Lenovo Vibe K5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] IagoJevaux:
Changelog seems VERY promising!!! Can't wait to try rc0!!!

How can we test if Fsync and AVS are property working?

Thanks for this awesome Kernel!!
[Lenovo Vibe K5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] :
Mostly dmesg and logcat. If its clean enough and there's no data loss or random reboots, then it's fine.

AVS: I will have to research, it looks good on paper.
[Lenovo Vibe K5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] IagoJevaux:

The changelog says project discontinued, its correct? no more development?
[Lenovo Vibe K5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] CygnusBlack:
Earlier, the changelog said the dev was bug fixing.

Now it says it's discontinued.

I wonder why... ?
[Lenovo Vibe K5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] Lautaro Mondaca:
Lets hope not, this kernel its great!
[Lenovo Vibe K5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] IagoJevaux:
He's constantly updating the thread so I assume he's active. He said he's waiting for bugs to be reported before he can continue development. He's satisfied with features and stability for now.
[Lenovo Vibe K5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] CygnusBlack:
Then I really don't understand the worrisome changelog message...

You have to admit that the phrase "development halted -- project discontinued" carries a big punch of drama.

Anyhoo, he updated the rc0 changelog and changed the date to April 22.

I'm sure he'll shed some light in the next hours. Let's hope for the best.
[Lenovo Vibe K5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] kkanungo17:
Looking at the insane rate of commits to the kernel code, I'd say [MENTION=8169002]bodafranus[/MENTION] would be the most active dev on this forum.
[Lenovo Vibe K5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] IagoJevaux:
Ohhhhhh, that "project discontinued" wasn't there before... Well, let's hope he'll continue developing and bugfixing this Kernel for us, he's really nice developer with a amazing potential :)

Waiting anxiously for rc0, sounds like a great improvement!
[Lenovo Vibe K5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] CygnusBlack:
Thankfully, he's back baby! ?
[Lenovo Vibe K5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] IagoJevaux:
God be praised! I'm pretty much sure that this is the most stable and simple kernel out there :)

Rc0 no release date yet :/ was so happy it might be today hahaha

Hey [MENTION=8169002]bodafranus[/MENTION] , I know that asking for ETA is rude but do you have an estimated date when you'll release the kernel for us? Just asking because we could help you locate and troubleshoot some bugs :)

Thanks once again for developing this!!
[Lenovo Vibe K5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] :
Try performance governor for GPU and see if it's better.

msm-adreno-tz doesn't ramp up fast enough.

Seems to be present in earlier versions as well, I just didn't notice.

It's nothing major, only occurs occasionally​... But it bothers me.

Probably mid may, I'll keep the changelog updated as I go.
[Lenovo Vibe K5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] IagoJevaux:
Oh, I never noticed it either... Maybe one of those adjustments present in Vegito could do the trick?

I see... Just thought you might release it earlier, I'm actually hyped to try the sound bug fix and see if its working, it's the only thing bothering me in all 7.1.x roms...
[Lenovo Vibe K5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] :
I'm not aware of any adjustments.. The code seems fine. Idk.

Yeah, I need to fix the init.rc script. Some configurations were being left out because it was not running properly.
[Lenovo Vibe K5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] IagoJevaux:
No problem, if it's for the best, we shall wait!

And about the msadreno I was talking about those "things" you can change in the Vegito kernel (like make the more aggressive or less aggressive)... It's like a governor tweak but for the afternoon idler... Gonna see if I still have any SS of that page!!
[Lenovo Vibe K5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] :
Oh, Adreno Idler

Nah, it idles fine.

If it's the other one, it's very erratic..
[Lenovo Vibe K5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] IagoJevaux:
Oh, I see...

Anyways, gonna wait for build so I can test and report back may issues!

Nice to see you are still active!! This is by far the best kernel available!

Changelog updated.

Seems to be THE Kernel...I'm very anxious to see it working with AOKP (outside the Telegram group).

Keep up the good work, dev and testers.

Meanwhile, I'm using the official S155 (MM) from Lenovo, which is so ugly it hurts my eyes. Also, there're bugs that I'm sure Lenovo won't bother to fix.

I really hope the new hardware blobs are improving the overall quality of Lineage...
[Lenovo Vibe K5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] IagoJevaux:
They are trying to update the blobs but are facing some issues (like Sims not working and camera not recording, again).

This kernel is working flawlessly so far and it fixes the annoying sound bug with headphones :)

A user reported a decrease in RAM speed while benching with Antutu, from 3200 (using LOS 7.1.2 firmware) to 2200.
