The best settings for the battery

and acceptable performance

in the Ex kernel Manager application:

CPU LITTLE:

min cpu- 455mhz

max cpu- 455mhz

CPU BIG:

min cpu - 650mhz

max cpu 1170mhz

on 1% battery with screen turned on and wifi

1% drops every 8 minutes

that is 800 minutes, ie 13 hours and 20 minutes;)

Which Magisk on this Kernel

ok, guys please help. I know this is kind of noobish but I can't get this Kernel to work with magisk.only with super su.

I clean-installed the newest Soldierrom (3.5) wich has Magisk and works..then I flash this kernel and Magisk app says magisk not installed. So i search xda and google. I cant find a special\specific magisk so I download and install this one: https://xdaforums.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445 (v 16.0) and it bootloops. I suspect it's something really easy and obvious but stupid me cant see it... :crying::eek: I REALLY WANT TO HAVE THIS KERNEL ON MY PHONE(i already have the ex kernel manager app), and not have to choose between this kernel and having root.

P.S the exact same thing happens to me on the renovate rom i had before...
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] ianmacd:
You need a version of Magisk that has been adapted for the G96X. I posted a universal build of Magisk yesterday here:

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=76706612&postcount=1659

Try that one. It contains the very latest source and should run fine on your G96X device. I haven't tried it with this particular kernel, but it installs fine on the homebrew kernel that I use.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Tozenator:
Thank you to the dev for this great kernel! Running the underclocked version on top of ALEXNDR rom and I've noticed a slight increase battery life and snappiness :) unfortunately bluetooth bugs for me as well. You can enable BT only once and it won't turn on again if you switch it off. A reboot fixes this but the issue repeats and the fix lasts only one toggle. I tested BT on the stock kernel and it worked fine before I flashed EX kernel. It also forgets all added BT devices on toggle/reboot.

Edit: I've tried to fix it by force stopping and clearing data of Bluetooth, Bluetooth MIDI Service and BluetoothTest, and clearing cache and Dalvik/Art cache from recovery but it doesn't fix anything, unfortunately.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] paul c:
BT works for me on 1.08 with Soldier9312's ROM. I have several BT devices paired, and it pairs with reach one as needed. For example I get in the car and it pairs automatically. I don't lose BT after reboots or toggling on/off either.

I'm using the standard kernel config, not underclocked, though that shouldn't make any difference. But maybe worth trying Soldier's ROM, to see if it's linked to Alexandr's
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] flar2:
Bluetooth seems to need some kind of system changes to work, not sure what and I don't like to modify anything except the kernel with my installer.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] sensationvsgalaxy:
OMG!! thank you so much!!it worked flawlessly. No bootloop and magisk root is there and (at least till now) it doesn't lose it like in previous roms\kernels\magisk versions.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] ianmacd:
IIRC, it's something to do with Secure Storage. Not sure why that would have anything to do with Bluetooth, but that's what I recall, and I see that some custom ROMs like Renovate come with their own libsecure_storage.so.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Tozenator:
Thanks for the tip, Soldier9312's ROM seems quite similar to Alexandr's so I'll probably try that in a few days. BT working isn't critical as I don't use it every day, but it can get a bit annoying in the long run. :) The setup I'm using is the underclocked one but yeah it shouldn't make a difference.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] ianmacd:
You will eventually lose root (if you use magiskhide). Maybe in the next 5 minutes or maybe not for days, but you will eventually lose it. That bug hasn't been fixed yet.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Eamo5:
Any update on this?
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Tozenator:
Yes of course, I'll leave the it to someone else to work out a fix. I'll try something else in the meantime. Thank you! :)
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] borntokill:
Because i'm in renovate 1.2,with ard4 base, where i found old version of this kernel with that base? Thans in advance, Lorenzo

S7 - SuperMan-Rom
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Tozenator:
I switched to Soldier9312's ROM, and can confirm that bluetooth indeed DOES work, and it works flawlessly. My setup is otherwise the same.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Eamo5:
Yeah having Bluetooth issues here too on Alexandr's rom. Could you please follow up and tell me which ROM you prefer? I spent a while experimenting with Lineage but wanted to try custom kernels and get sufficient battery life.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Tozenator:
Of course! I felt that Alexndr's ROM had a bit less bloat, and I liked the fact that the MacAfee bloat in device maintenance was gone as well. I'm having trouble finding out which files I should delete to remove MacAfee. Soldier's ROM gives you more control over what apps you want it to install. It also gives you a screen recorder quick tile, which is a feature I missed. They're 95% the same, you'll probably like them equally. :)
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] MidnightDevil:
Hi [MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION], is it possible to add volume controls (gain) on the kernel please? I miss this the most :)

Thanks! Brilliant work as usual!
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] ounerkouks:
install with magisk app viper4android. Its fantastik app !
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Eamo5:
Okay so I've installed Soldier's rom which fixed the Bluetooth issue. It's a shame because Alexndr's was really nice. Also you can disable the MacAfee bloat by disabling anti malware in the aroma installer for Soldier's rom. Slightly more bloated but still pretty nice!
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Tozenator:
Yeah I preferred Alexndr's ROM a bit more as well. I guess I missed the anti malware part when installing, do you know if there's any way to remove it after installing? If not I'll just reflash again sometime, not a big deal.

Sorry to the dev for slight offtopic :)
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Eamo5:
Yeah you can just dirty flash it again, then flash your kernel, and then Magisk and xposed if you use them and you should be good.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Muntasir Mahmud Saif:
is this kernel supported with lineage os?
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] xFirefly93:
Nope. Only stock (based) ROMS.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] ** A - R **:
What about the Current state of Google ?
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] ok4n93:
Do someone know if we can flash this kernel over soldiers rom and if it gets better results in overall usage of the kernel? Couldn't find directly an answer to this topic.

I don't know why but the kernel is sucking a lot of battery....

Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] ok4n93:
Here a pic also from the kernel usage. Help is appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] gaww:
Yes I have a number of times.

It helps to fool around with settings with the the tool (wakelocks, etc).
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] flar2:
You can solve that problem by uninstalling that app and installing Better Battery Stats or using the Battery Monitor in EX Kernel Manager.

The kernel doesn't use any noticeable battery. Those are wakelocks. As long as your battery stats in EXKM are under 15%/hr active and under 1.5%hr idle then there is nothing to worry about.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] ok4n93:
I am running EXKM for a long time and 2.4% idle is not that good with disabled aod 2 days before I got 1,7% but I will have a look with the better battery stats.

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Revontheus:
I would advise against blocking Wakelocks. Android Oreo does a pretty good job of managing wakelocks and alarms and blocking them without any knowledge can only create more problems.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] flar2:
I'm assuming aod on, since most people leave it on. All my other phones have idle drain in the 0.3 to 0.7 range. This one hovers near 1%/hr even with aod off.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] akshaysalunke13:
Can this kernel be used with stock ROM? All I want is a kernel that improves my battery life ( like the one Anandtech used)
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Eamo5:
Yes and try notorious kernel for more of Andrei's changes, join the telegram group and download the latest beta. The stable build on XDA won't work
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Zwulf:
Link for that Telegram group (Notorious? Ex? What exactly are you talking about?) is nowhere to be found (not in this thread, not in Notorious thread, not on G+, not in Telegram search...). Not much of a help if you recommend something which can't be found easily and not providing any link for things you recommend. No offense though, just saying.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] farovitus:
First of all, thank you but please respect the OP and don't promote my stuff in other kernel's related threads, and finally, flar2 already merged a couple of Andreilux commits/work in his latest build. Thank you again.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Eamo5:
No harm intended just wanted to help out someone who was in the same scenario I was. ElementalX was a great stable kernel, but myself and even Andrei recommended NK for battery life. Apologies flar2 and faro

---------- Post added at 01:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:15 AM ----------

The link is in the first post on the Notorious kernel thread? Right where it says "wanna join our telegram group?" PM me if you need anything else
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] flar2:
There is no battery advantage, at least not that I could measure. I am testing something else that made a real difference on the OnePlus 6, but not getting my hopes up.

This was the wrong phone to buy if you're interested in battery life. Pretty much everything else on the market is better.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Eamo5:
Coming from Elemental to Notorious I did notice an improvement in battery for SOT and idle seems to be improved on cellular with the latest beta. Improvements seems to vary greatly between devices. For now anyway NK seems to work better for me with battery life in mind. Performance differences between kernels is negligible in real world performance.

Yeah I wish I did more research into the Exynos variant of the device, I basically only saw Snapdragon reviews because US YouTuber's dominate the reviews online. If I had seen Anandtech's review prior to purchase I would have probably just opted for the pixel 2 xl ?

[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] mcgomfer:
Is there any way I could get a link to download v6 of this kernel, because this v8, doesn't work ok with me, the camera won't work, and it reverted the touchwiz to previous version.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Diddymies:
if u have the latest soldier rom, u need to use stock for now, until samsung releases the newest sources . Read the changlelogs/descriptions.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] mcgomfer:
I have the noname rom which as the elementalx v1.08 incorporated, and even if I try to install another kernel over this one, it won't fix the issue of the camera or touchwiz.

In firmware BRF8, V1.08 breaks camera, such a shame. Anyone have an older version of this kernel?
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Chrispearson172512:
You would need a newer kernel to match your firmware older ones wouldn't work
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] bobandar:
Well none of the custom kernels support the brf8 yet that is why the camera breaks , let the source come out already then only devs can update ther kernels.

[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Muntasir Mahmud Saif:
+1
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Eamo5:
As much as I would also like this, I wouldn't count on it, developing a kernel for such a niche portion of the community seems very unlikely. Your best bet is asking Jesse who actively supports pretty much the whole S9 AOSP community.

[MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] Some feedback from my side.

I have flashed the BRF8 kernel (oc settings) and when i choose CPU from the menu in the ex kernel app, i am not able to change the Max CPU frequency from 1950mhz to 2002Mhz.

In settings / extra settings / Max GPU frequency there are no frequencies listed.

I also have a question about power saving / performance mode in settings/extra settings menu , are they the same as the settings in the device maintenance app ? I usually set this to entertainment mode, so im wondering if settings are applied if i do that.

Thanks for the kernel again!

??
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] jack allen:
Ah ok cool good to know this is one of the better kernels
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] flar2:
If you can't change the max freq it's usually because multiple corea are online. The big cluster can only go to max freq when one core is in use.

The perf and power modes are not the same as with device maintenance, they are restricted to CPU and GPU settings.

Hi all

Ooops it s my fault ☺ the power save mode is ok i made a mystake my finger had deactivated Big Cluster in the advance setting of power save that s why the phone reboot when it enter sleep mode.

I reactivated big cluster and no more reboot when power save is selected.

hi, OP can you add Row schedular support? or may i know is there any reason that made you not adding it? Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] flar2:
ROW was abandoned years ago, it's not worth porting.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] gaww:
I had an odd one.

This kernel was working real good on Soldier 5.2 when it stopped responding to most selections.

I hard rebooted it, and it would not reboot. It got stuck in the optimizing app cycle it got into a while back when I tried installing Xposed.

I reflashed the kernel and magisk, but same situation. Reflashed the rom, and initially same result, but after 2nd manual reboot, it cleared up.

[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Phahec:
Hi

Try super su with suhide

Magisk is not stable for some device it work but for some other magisk loose su etc... and that make device freeze or reboot magisk is not 100% stable for oreo.

Since i use super su + suhide all is stable even with overclocking elemental 1.9 and banking apps are ok

And for sound module i advice arise deuteronomy 2.94 you can find super su and suhide in xda samething for arise.

Good evening all
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] flar2:
Whatever that is, sounds like it has nothing to do with the kernel. A kernel either works or it doesn't.

Fingerprint sensor works fine for me on stock ROM. Could be that you have incorrect firmware, or maybe you need to re-register your fingerprint.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Baercity:
I have the BRF8 firmware on my S9+ and re-register of the fingerprint does not solve my issue. Latest nk9810 or APGK kernel working fine for me.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] flar2:
I don't modify anything related to fingerprint sensor and it works for me on brf8 firmware and stock ROM. Gotta be something else.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] MelvinGt5:

Performance

Imo you have created an amazing rom. Im posting here OC and power mode results of geekbench 4 to confirm if other have the same sort of performance.

ALSO I couldnt help but notice to significantly higher scores on geekbench own site, thats why I am worried about mine.

So is my performance normal? Or could S9 performance could be even better according to the geekbench scores?[IMG="MY SCORE, using OC and EX Kernel manager power mode"]https://image.ibb.co/mGPu4J/Screenshot_20180716_214225_Geekbench_4.jpg[/IMG][IMG="GEEKBENCH SCORE FROM ONLINE"]https://image.ibb.co/mB4SPJ/Screenshot_20180716_214157_Chrome.jpg[/IMG][IMG="GEEKBENCH ONLINE SCORE"]https://image.ibb.co/jCACry/Screenshot_20180716_215700_Chrome.jpg[/IMG]
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] flar2:
Those scores are really low. Probably being limited by thermal throttling.

However, you really shouldn't worry about benchmarks
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] immu23:
Approx. at what temperature does thermal throttling kick in?
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] flar2:
Running the benchmark two times in a row is usually enough to reduce performance. This is horribly designed hardware.

Soldier's rom 6 is not compatible with elemental 1.9 because it is new brg6

If we flash 1.9 on soldier's 6 at boot time the screen will be black and freeze.
