[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Cuzeg Spiked:
Turns out whenever I sleep the device, 3 out of four cores turn off after sometime and it stays as 1 core showing in KT monitor even though I have 4 cores which shows some hotplugging, even when i disabled mpdecison and deleted the mpdecision binary in /system/bin. Although mpdecision kept enabling every boot after disabled in kernel adiutor but deleting mpdecision binary solved my problems as i didn't like the slowdowns. I had to change to min 4 cores yet again in boeffla config app to make 4 cores show up again but if i wasn't needing the performance gain, i kept it showing 1 core in ktmonitor even if 4 cores show up in other cpu monitoring kernel management apps. Wallpaper was dark and i mainly used amoled dark theme in apps where i could. A bit overkill I know but i like overkill. Mileage generally varies in battery but i can confirm this is a great kernel imo. Even if i did google i could get alright performance + battery, provided i use amplify/greenify and such.

Gave Tuned hotplug a try and set cpu range between 729mhz all the way to 2.4ghz or so depending on game and then general useage and see how it reacted. The interactuned governor pretty smart if not smarter than interactive being tuned. My S5 feeling fast every day, keeps reminding me of my S6 and S7s but for 32 bit devices, its impressive the soc. No wonder the nexus and the Oneplus Ones were considered the smoothest fast devices of their time. Kernel support is awesome.

My battery life after using this kernel, undervolt by -85mv globally, using fdroid applications, yalp store, bfq, 128kb read ahead, 883mhz cpu clock with interactuned with 0 io is busy, 27mhz gpu clock with msmcpufreq. I used Lightning browser, Privacy browser, jumpgo, xda labs, openlauncher, brave browser, fair amount of fstrim through boeffla config which granted me better speeds, art optimisation magisk module with balanced profile 3 in termux terminal, using debloat terminal command for some system apps, then my discord usage, simple gallery, simple contacts, simple of any app, lots of multitasking of apps i normally use that aren't games and no google play services which was easy. Not too shabby battery life. I had 7-8 hour SOT, probably could get more but idling i could last my device longer. Xprivacy Lua, appopsxposed, privacy guard i used to prevent app startups at boot and background stuff with a few app exceptions. I did notice that the power saving efficency to performance effects battery and performance even with cpu governor changes and stuff which i expected. If i used 4G i know my battery would be less but not that bad.

My screen flickers but not a rom issue at lowest brightness so i do slightly higher brightness than lowest. I did use bluetooth on headphones often but even then a nice battery life. Wifi scan turned off and bluetooth scan via appopsxposed and location off. No amplify i ever used. doze disabled, samsungdoze disabled.

I used my device from 10am to 8.30pm which is not too bad. well there was 1 hour sleep and a little idling but overall thats impressive. If i gamed i could reach 4-5 hours if i wanted. Hotplugging i could do more battery but i didn't like the hotplug and the display power mode savings. Thermal Core control drivers also i turn off. This kernel truly is the best i've used for elite S5 performance when needed and if i wanted to to low power modes. Boeffla kernel is good too but the tweaks in this make it even nicer. I do use an external SD card but all apps using internal storage, files in external. around 23GB overall usage storage but almost 6GB in internal storage and i have 32GB class 10 SD card which is nice.

I even tried ext4 journalling off which helps a bit in performance and battery but i assume ext4 tweaks is turned off journalling and it keeps automatically enabling itself when I don't want and the app is meant to leave em off by default. I know boeffla ended support which i understand but i am excited to see the final version of this tuned kernel also. Left lmk at default. VM settings you don't have to tamper with but i shared anyway. Default usually fine for vm settings.

Feels good to have no bottleneck or very little in games and in general use. no real lags or stutters for days, no crashes, nothing. Most stable and convenient. Might give this a try on LinageOS , AICP and other lineage 14.1 kernel roms that could potentially work.

The bc profile i used.My rom was RR which is good. I keep feeling faster performance every single day which is convenient.

I should benchmark my device on antutu if it worked that is. I think i would reach close to 70k on old antutu and a decent score on new antutu. Benchmarks don't tell the whole story but it would be an interesting thing to get the highest score.

Edit: Gave this a try on AICP which performs even better and lighter. Awesome on Aicp but even without custom kernel it was already a fair bit faster and less battery using. Now im getting regular 8 hours battery life or more :). 5 hours of gaming also which is a lot even on intensive games. i did use low clock speeds though locked at 883mhz for normal usage and something like 1267mhz or as low as 1036mhz for the games i play. If i slept device, well ages.
