I have used your kernels, its very stable for me.Other people in our discuss group of oneplus5 also ues these kernels, but they say battery life still not good as lightting kernel :D

Is it lighting kernel bette than simpleGx kernel on battery life ?

could you provide more version of different under voltage for us .every one can try the ultra low voltage of their device benefit the extreme buttery saving .

thank you
[OnePlus 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] pranay.pratyush:
You were using the lightning kernel as base before. Why did you shift to simplegx? Did it hinder you in ur experiments? Most people who are undervolting or overcoating are the kind who like to tweak around. Choice of tick rates is great as well.
[OnePlus 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Zombie:
Having different voltage kernels can get tricky as each freq has its own voltage and Id prefer to keep everything simple or else it overwhelms me having to make like 3 different sub versions of each version for not much gain.

I was running into stability issues and other problems when using Lightning. I may consider switching back to it in the near future but thats still up in the air. SimpleGX was just much more stable and had great battery already and my testers are reporting good battery with simple based test builds. As for tick rates. I can do that in the next release. Very simple to do haha.
[OnePlus 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] pranay.pratyush:
Then can you expose a parameter so that we can change the tick rate on the fly?
[OnePlus 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] kimaroki:
I asked undervolting test from the Franco Kernel developer,he said Undervolting is simply dead. These chips self regulate themselves last time I checked and it's just pointless at this point and the sooner we forget about messing with electrical current the better.

is that be true？
[OnePlus 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] pranay.pratyush:
But undervolting clearly lowers the benchmark scores. It should be working. How much does it save battery is the question.

Also its been quite some time anyone released a mainstresm processor on any platform that doesn't "self-regulate" it's voltages. We undervolt them all. What's new?
[OnePlus 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Zombie:
Undervolting isn't the craze anymore. I have lowered the voltages for all frequency steps so that any freq uses less power. By how much is another question.

Undervolting doesn't lower benchmark scores. That's not how it works. Voltage doesn't effect performance unless there's not enough and the system becomes unstable. Or if you give it too much and the chip gets too hot and throttles down to save itself.

Right now I'm at -100mv to -200mv on all freqs
[OnePlus 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] pranay.pratyush:
Your logic is sound, but I am actually observing a sharp decrease in benchmark scores due to undervolts. Is this happening due to other reasons? I assumed that the mobile chip is possibly running different timings for memory and communication channels .
[OnePlus 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Zombie:
The lower scores for me have been caused by the underclocks. Currently im testing again with Lightning as my base and I have it underclocked to 15mhz, With zzmoove as my gov, I get 2000/6800 as geekbench scores although geekbench isnt the best benchmark app.
[OnePlus 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] kimaroki:
any update ?
[OnePlus 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Zombie:
There are test builds out in my telegram. I switched to Lightning as the base again. I should be able to push an update soon. Just been focusing on school right now. Real life first haha
[OnePlus 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] MrWilsonxD:
As it should be!
[OnePlus 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Zombie:
Long overdue but here is an update. Ill work on an LOS version later when I have more free time. Its a busy time with school. Bleh highschooler problems haha

Ive also decided to stick with SimpleGX as the base because Lightning base wasnt having as good of battery with my testers as Simple did

V4 IS UP!!

Changelog:

I forgot when I added this but its also running 1000hz

Blocked quite a few wakelocks

Updated to SimpleGX 1.07

Tweaked voltages more. 940mv max Little cluster and 1.03v max Big cluster

Tweaked Clock speeds, added 5mhz, 75mhz, and 175mhz underclock for better battery

Download V4 here
[OnePlus 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] kimaroki:
Could you provide a voltge & frequency list of default and your present setting value? Thank you
[OnePlus 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Zombie:
Wow two updates in two days?! I should be doing homework right now but this is a good excuse not to. Oops.

V5 IS UP!!

Changes:

Added sound control. Thank god for flar's commits so I could add it haha

Changed one line of code so the kernel is actually running at 1000hz tick rate now

Added some CPU battery saving commits from Blu_Spark (hopefully they actually do save some battery)

Thanks wery good?? light use for me works well
[OnePlus 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] dr.zook:
Look at your idle drain.

It's where you wanted it to be at least?
[OnePlus 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] pranay.pratyush:
The big cores throttle a lot. Any way to fix this?

The idle drain is the best but I can't get a setting where the screen on drain is good as well and the ui is responsive.
[OnePlus 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] dr.zook:
Do you use exkm? I could send you a profile that should fix that. A least for interactive.

[OnePlus 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Zombie:
Currently only for OOS based roms.
[OnePlus 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] JhinCuatro:
i wanna see benchmarks for this
[OnePlus 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] pranay.pratyush:
Yes. I use exkm. Thanks.
[OnePlus 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Zombie:
Here are Geekbench and Antutu. Most likely will change. Im overhauling the kernel again and not using anyones kernel as a base. I have no idea how much performance will change with that. Before I added a few commits for battery, I was getting 2000/6900 on geekbench so we'll see
[OnePlus 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] dr.zook:
[MENTION=8390165]pranay.pratyush[/MENTION]

Here you go. Good battery while very snappy. Remove the .txt extension and copy the file into gov_profiles folder.
[OnePlus 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] ponkz:
And where is this gov_profiles folder :laugh:
[OnePlus 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] dr.zook:
International storage/ElementalX/gov_profiles

:highfive: :svetius:
[OnePlus 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] ponkz:
Dont have it on defaults, let me create new folder for it
[OnePlus 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Zombie:
V6 IS UP!!!

Changes: literally everything

Volt is no longer using simplegx or lightning as a base. I finally switched to doing everything on my own

Sadly no sound control yet. Still trying to get that to work. Doesnt show for testers and I even when I try to add it so hopefully that will be in the next update.

Remember to flash stock kernel before you flash the new update

You guys aren't even on the latest beta build ;) but that will change soon
[OnePlus 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] JhinCuatro:
thanks. It is really interesting to see this kernel ?
[OnePlus 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Zombie:
Hey everyone. Sorry for the lack of updates.

I've been really busy lately with school. Real life always comes first. And I've been spending free time working on governor tweaking.

One of my main priorities is to get sound control working for the next update. But no eta with that for now.
[OnePlus 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] dr.zook:
Take your time, mate, quite busy with RL right now, too.

Thanks for your work ?
[OnePlus 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Zombie:
Hi peoples. Been pretty busy lately with real life stuff. Testers and I have gone through about 30+ test builds. Well they went through like 5 and I went through the others because yeah haha.

V7 IS UP!!!

Changes:

Quite a few

I reworked the kernel once again, added some features and removed some, tweaked some and yeah. Also Ive been learning git a bit so you can find all of the commits. Well 99% of them on the sources page linked in the op.

Main features that people will see other than battery tweaks, Impulse and Cultivation governors. Everything else is behind the scenes

Oh yeah also updated for 4.5.11

Happy flashing everyone

Here is the download link
[OnePlus 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Zombie:
Alright so its been a while but now im back for a bit. Ive just gotten busy working on personal projects, setting up my own private web server, and school. School is going to be getting pretty busy soon so I may be going full zeroblade and not post for a while. Real life first. Im also behind in school. Oops. But better late than never, heres an update

V8 IS OUT!

Changelog:

Added wake and sleep gestures by Flar2

Updated to 4.5.12 (works with 4.5.13 too)

Added SmartMax CPU Gov

Added Boeffla Touchkey Control

And quite a few under the hood changes. All changes are on my github

Question for everyone:

Would you guys like a flashable zip that adds a bunch of governor profiles to EXKM? Maybe even aroma to select which ones you want added?

Let me know, if you guys want it, ill get working on it
[OnePlus 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Anonamoose:
I would love some aroma options if you have the time. Good luck with school and thanks for the kernel!
[OnePlus 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] freaky2xd:
Hey could you add USB fast charging to your kernel? it's my second favourite custom kernel feature after undervolting ;)
[OnePlus 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] freaky2xd:
got a stupid question: I flashed Volt8 on my 5.4.13 OP5. But I am not sure if it's working! I can't change the undervolt values in Kernel Audiutor or Kernel Toolkit! are tehy static so I can't change them?

current displaying kernel version:

4.4.21+

about the governor profiles to EXKM i'd love that feature ;)
[OnePlus 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] mina61:
Спасибо это ядро Volt 8 мне оно очень понравилось !!!
[OnePlus 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Zombie:
Ха-ха не проблема. Я рада что тебе нравится!
[OnePlus 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Zombie:
Haha thanks. I might also work on aroma for the kernel for features like what Ex uses

Sure thing. Itll be in the next release. Only a few lines of coding to add :)

Not a stupid question, I never really made it too clear outside of my tester group. The undervolting is static as I had to manually change the voltage values before building the kernel. I might work on something in the future to allow people to change the voltage but I wouldnt keep my hopes up with that. My skill is still very limited.

Awesome! Ill work on that when I have free time.
[OnePlus 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] mina61:
Super!
[OnePlus 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] freaky2xd:
alright, jsut wanted to make sure :)

the kernel seemx to be working just fine so far! I haven't noticed any issues and battery live seems to be slightly better, especially in stand by
[OnePlus 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Takumashii:
Good kernel ! Thank's ! :D
[OnePlus 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Anonamoose:

[OnePlus 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] baltlevel:
Supports otg for the RR?
[OnePlus 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Zombie:
Haha thanks. Glad you like it

Wow that's pretty amazing. Send some of that battery here. I get **** battery

Kernel does not support RR or any aosp or Los builds. So far it's oos only
[OnePlus 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] str8str:
I couldn't use on newest update for 4513. Get reboots constantly. On xxx no limited rom
[OnePlus 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Zombie:
Hmm that's really weird. A few of my testers and me personally also are on xxx. I'm currently on xxx 4.0 using build 8.

Can you give me more of a description of what's going on with reboots? During specific tasks? Are you using Xposed? Xposed was causing reboots for me.

Theres also the possibility that you're device just doesn't play well with the overclock mixed with undervolt.

You can try limiting your max CPU speed to a lower speed and see if that helps
[OnePlus 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] BFCE:
Currently loving this kernel on xXx noLimits. I can run my small cluster at 2112MHz and my large cluster at 2457, but my geekbench scores lower if I run the large cluster at 2592, so I'm thinking it's not stable. My geekbench multi is over 6900 and my single is barely topping 2000

First, would it be possible to get better frequency control? Like a 2500MHz or a 2550MHz step. I think there's more performance to be had out of my silicon anyways. Could we also get a higher clock on the small cluster? I can run the highest option so.. yeah.

Another feature request would be GPU overclock. I have no clue if it's possible, (I don't think any other kernel has this) but if I could push my GPU clock closer to a GHz... That'd be insane

Just some requests if you get bored or something. Obviously in the ideal world we'd be able to fine tune our own exact frequencies and voltages for everything but nobody's been able to do that afaik. Love the work. This is my daily kernel.
[OnePlus 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Zombie:
Newer builds of the kernel aren't getting as high of scores as old ones in geekbench. Only about a 100pt multicore difference.

As for GPU overclock. That's tricky to do. But I'll work probably give that a go this weekend as I'll have a bit of free time so I can do some testing.

As for CPU overclocked, big cluster overclocks are very complicated. That's why no dev has done it yet. 2592mhz code was already build into the kernel. Flar2 just figured out where to put those lines to get it to work.

I've been fairly busy lately and haven't gotten to it. But I was actually going to contact a kernel developer over at Qualcomm to try and get some help with big core overclocks so maybe that will happen in the coming weeks
[OnePlus 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] BFCE:
That's awesome! Heres hoping we can get some GPU stuff going on. If you want help testing, lemme know! Take your time and good luck.
[OnePlus 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] flar2:
You can clock it higher simply by adding more frequencies to the table and adjusting the voltage steps. I didn't add them because I think it will be unstable.
[OnePlus 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Zombie:
I've tested with big core overclocks quite a bit. The second and third column in the speedbin is causing issues. I don't know what goes there. Anything I try doesn't work and any modifications I try to big cores, causes the cores to not be recognized by the system, performance to drop dramatically. But that's from me testing and testing nikhil18 did a bit.

I could mess around with voltage steps too, to see if that helps at all. Maybe it will.
[OnePlus 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Zombie:
V9 IS OUT!!

Alright here's an update.

Updated to 4.5.14 sources

Changed voltages a bit

Removed 2592mhz. Performance is greater with 2457mhz. Thanks to BFCE for finding the issue.

Now it's just time to figure out why and fix it haha

Download Here. I'm finally using AFH hah
[OnePlus 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] David090491:
return please 2592mhz
[OnePlus 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] BFCE:
Something is wrong here. Performance has regressed somehow, notably in single-core.

Using Volt V8 and limiting the big cluser to 2457MHZ yields significantly more performance than Volt V9. (In fact, Volt V9 might actually be slower than stock right now. I'm testing a few kernels right now)
[OnePlus 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Zombie:
Sorry for no updates or anything lately. I've just been focusing on other stuff with life lately, mainly school. Last year of high school and I need to get my **** together.

As for updates. I'm not going to be releasing anymore until Oreo OOS is released. Then I will redo my kernel from the ground up for the OP5 and 5t.
[OnePlus 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Zombie:
Update Time!

I may have possibly screwed up the naming. Download says V9 when Its really v10 but oh well im too tired to care

Okay so heres an update for oreo. I havent slept in over 30 hours and I spent about 12 hours working on this. Neat

I pretty much redid everything from the ground up. So yeah.

Performance is also sh*t. Im not sure why. OOS Oreo has just had bad benchmark performance so yeah.

Ive been running this for the past 12 hours. So far stable but I havent had anyone test it so yay

Download here kids. I dont feel like uploading to AFH

This kernel is hard to beat, when it comes to sound quality. Especially when you pair it up with Dolby Atmos or Viper4Android.
[OnePlus 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] RogerF81:
Is there anything special about sound drivers included or something similar?:eek::confused:
[OnePlus 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Revenant Ghost:
Only thing I can tell you is that I notice a difference when I install Volt kernel.
[OnePlus 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Zombie:
Ive only included Flar2's sound control which shouldnt change anything but oh well
[OnePlus 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Revenant Ghost:
That's strange. I didn't make any changes to sound control, either. I guess it doesn't really matter, as long as there's no issues with it in the future.

Its in Alucard too. Nah my kernel isnt eas. I just added it because I wanted to see what it did. I add a few commits from eas kernels every once in a while
[OnePlus 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Cichy26:
But in any other app (like bbs or system monitor panel) is that same. On interactive, Blu, cultivation, Alucard. Only on zzmove is OK.

And I have question. Anybody have parameters for CPU setting from battery extreme yank?
