Yes, what I meant was that even for the battery these are pretty low readings. I think that the kernel performance is heavily affected by the ROM that is used and maybe I will switch to Alexis ROM for a more debloated environment (Using Ketan at the moment).

What makes me a big impression is the smoothness of the UI when the phone is charging and when it is on battery. When I have the phone on the charger, everything seems to work much faster. While on battery, speed is always reduced (of course I am not on battery saving mode or something like this). This goes for both stock and custom kernels that I have tried, but maybe it is just me or Samsung has really messed up with the idle / max timings on this chip.

And it may sound weird, but after using your settings on 2.14b fixed, I only got 333000. Tested 2.10 with default settings and got 383.000. Maybe my phone is crazy :p
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] TechNoobForSale:
My settings require proper cooling. 2.14b fixed is effectively better because it undervolt many parts of the hardware of this system, it could help you with the temps. Install cpu throttling test, then open hktweaks in split screen and run the cpu throttling test. Check the temperature. I need to understand if there is something wrong with your phone.

Also I personally thought that Dr Ketan ROM was better than Alexis. Looks like it’s not, but again, there can be a variety of reasons why your phone is underperforming.

Despite having either 128 or 512GB of storage, putting a lot of apps on Android slows the phone down greatly. Enable developer options and put “no background apps”. It’s one of the last options. Furthermore, in HKtweaks disable Fsync in the miscellaneous category. Install L Speed and apply tweaks to improve performance (DON’T apply too many. Just the ones you deem necessary) as it might help your case.

Also if you want to change and use Alexis ROM, I suggest you to go into TWRP and format and change data and cache to F2FS. Make system remain on EXT4. It’s a read only partition anyways. F2FS on it doesn’t bring great benefit.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] livagoth:
Thank you for your willingness to help.

I am attaching a screenshot with the following settings:

- Beast mode 2.14b fixed

- Exkernel manager used instead of hktweaks (been used to this interface for years now)

- same kernel settings as you had suggested me before

My observations:

- 60% performance after 5 mins

- 80% performance after 10 mins

- all cores do not seem to go above 1794Mhz regardless of what settings I have chosen in manager

I am wondering if the thermal readings are accurate - whatever I do, even if I open an SMS, the temps hog instantly to +8 degrees and then go down slowly. Is it possible that this chip throttles so easily?

Now, regarding your comment about Dr Ketan ROM, I have been using it for years as Note 9 is my daily driver and this rom is rock stable, and everything works as it should. Alexis is considered lighter but I have not used the latest versions to be honest.

Looking forward to your comments.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] TechNoobForSale:
@livagoth

About the "All cores don't seem to go above 1794MHz"

Let me inform you that Exynos M3 big cores only reach the higher frequencies when all cores are not used. For this Kernel it's:

2886MHz On single core loads

2314MHz dual core loads

1794MHz tri and quad loads

Also no problem. I am actually willing to understand what's wrong with your phone. We're all Exynos 9810 brothers. We should try to help each other:

Also funny how I could say the same about Alexis ROM. I have been an user of it ever since Samsung Galaxy S8. Such a good ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] TechNoobForSale:
Also @livagoth

63°C is a far cry from the throttling temperature. So this is not an issue with the cooling system. I am already blaming it on the ROM, not gonna lie.

But I think I see why you are having these issues.

You have Wi Fi, dual Mobile data and bluetooth on. That is going to attract such a huge performance drop bro.

For benchmarks and gaming, go in developer options and put "no background apps". Afterwards, disable bluetooth, put on plane mode and just then you can run benchmarks. Some benchmarks want Wi Fi, and that's fine. Using wi fi is fine as long as you have plane mode on. All of that is sucking power and performance from your device and causing it to heat up far faster than normal.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] livagoth:
I followed your advice and turned off everything. Hope you are ready for some weird results. The situation did not change, however I noticed that:

- heavy throttle takes place when the cpu temp is below throttling point? (screenshot 1)

- performance gain when the temp is 70 degrees (screenshot 2)

Dr Ketan has just released a new update so I am curious to check the behavior of the stock kernel on his rom, after I will flash beast of course (edit: just noticed that new rom is on FUJ2 base so I might skip custom kernel flash until the next update).
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] TechNoobForSale:
Does this dude's phone work upside down :ROFLMAO::oops:. Well,this is some weird stuff. Though I don't want you to run CPU Throttling test for this @livagoth

Instead, with the settings I suggested to you just now, run AnTuTu. Don't change anything. Let the phone cool down first. CPU Throttling test is not really for performance monitoring. It's for Throttling analysis. Besides the 70°C throttling point is something that even me and the developer are unsure about. The first danger threshold in Kernel is at 84°C. Yet something happens at 70°C.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] livagoth:
Got 381438 in Antutu on flight mode. Will do some further testing with the stock tomorrow and let you know how it goes!

Which version to be installed on FUJ2, Nov security patch Dr ketan ROM?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] n4f:
CPU load seems well now on n960n.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] TechNoobForSale:
@amit_coolcampus

None. This Kernel supports FUF5 and FUH1. If you flash either, it's your responsibility if anything happens. I suggest you to instead use the Alexis ROM 3.0 for this Kernel, as another user is having a confusing experience on his Dr Ketan ROM with this Kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] TechNoobForSale:
Correct. It seems that the issue has been solved on N960F too.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] ykkfive:
i have made one for fuj2, will upload it later

daxx busy installing and reinstalling the phone due to a crash before. it made me sick!

sorry about that
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] amit_coolcampus:
I have been using it with Dr ketan rom Fuf5 for approx a month now, have not faced any such issues.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] livagoth:
Good morning, below the results with stock kernel:

Antutu: 371580

Geekbench: Single core 642 and Multi core 1965 (this is lower than beast)

I will research a little bit on the software side if there is something that is bothering the CPU all time. So far I have disabled the custom power menu which comes with the pro version of the ketan rom. Will see how it goes.

Strangely enough, no excessive throttling with stock (screenshot attached).

Thank you for the update!

Hi everyone !!!

Today did some tests. In Kernel manager I adjusted: CPU Little: min 1950 max 2002, Big: min 2860 max 2886, I/O NOOP, GPU min 572 max 598, CRC and Fsync turned off, low Level manager I adjusted as values as in attachment( I noticed that those affect on results of benchmarks, so did it trial and error method), Airplane mode On and before start tests I put Note 9 to fridge :):):) Max benchmark points are in attachment.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] Matrix1001:
Later I removed phone from fridge and when i decreased cpu: Little min to 832 and Big min 962 I gained
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] Matrix1001:
And Later decrease only gpu min to 260mhz, and The rest of the settings did not change at all and in Geekbench I gained
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] ykkfive:
sorry , quick question

can you guys pass the safetynet?

i am on fuj2 and testing my fuj2 build now with magisk module universal safetynet fix 1.2 and nothing else (same as before on fuf5) but cant pass ctsprofile. i dono if it was ok on fuf5 or not coz i didnt check for a long time

i cant no longer go back to fuf5 to check it, and i dono if its the new build's problem

anyone pls?

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] TechNoobForSale:
YKKFIVE WILDIN LMAO

But I’m into it 🤠

Yet, there is still stuff to do before 2964 can actually make sense.

For example more tuning so that the single and dual core frequencies are used more. Because as of now I see the processor still boosting to the mid 2,5GHz instead of 2886MHz in some lighter single core loads. Forcing 2886 in that case would grant us a nice boost in single core performance.

But we are on our way to make our beloved Note9 dominate the competition😎

But now it’s all ok, right? Again, I think it’s a problem with new OS or data on phones. My Note 9 when I just bought it scored very low too but after some days it got much better

Be careful man. If you mess up a CPU overclock and the system freezes, nothing happens, it will just reboot. But coding mistakes are what does this mess. But you most likely learned from your mistakes and got even better. That’s how we do experience with these phones 💪

Trial and failure, and eventually a huge victory. And one after the other

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] livagoth:
I used the one that came with Dr ketan rom. After the installation of the rom, an essential fix must be run through the supplied rom tool, which I think fixes safety net. Update channel is stable, not canary.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] ykkfive:
i don use kernel manager, but i can share with you my settings

my aim is to make it as efficient as possible

so,

for the big cores, i set max=max, min=9xx

while for the little cores max=the freq above the big cores' min freq, and min=min

so that it will provide a smooth transition from the little to the big cores by letting the big core min freq covers part of the little cores max freq

since the big cores are more efficient l let them do those heavy tasks by lowering the max freq of the little cores. ie if needed, go big pls, and i will further enhance this (big cores bias) in the future

for the gpu,mi set it to min=266, boost to 3xx when the loading is above 30%. you can adjust these numbers according to your needs to avoid lagging while save some battery (note you can scroll the screen to see if it is smooth enough for you)

usually it will consume about 8% battery for surfing the net for an hour

hope it helps

If you want to root a snapdragon device, either get Xiaomi or OnePlus. I don’t remember which one it was, but one of them actually gives you warranty if you screw the root process up!

Though ykkfive registered records on CPU Throttling test, that app really is only good to measure throttling.
