[Q] Suggestion for kernel (look inside for my needings)

I'm new to Nexus 4; I'd need a kernel with corrected thermal throttling; no modifications to colors, contrast, gamma etc, but the possibility to correct them manually; good for battery but smooth and eventually with tweaking possibility (like clocks, voltages etc).
Any hint? Thanks!

Hi,
Nexus 4 Original Android Development
All is here, yes it needs some search, some reading (changelogs, list of features, last feedbacks, etc...) and some test by yourself but after that you'll be happy to have found by yourself THE kernel that suits your needs. Personal satisfaction.
Ah, should we choose for you..., yes it seems...

[Q] slew of kernels and roms are confusing. need help

Hello. I'm interested in modifying my nexus 7 setup and installing a new kernel and potentially a new rom because web browsing on stock is a bit sluggish for a rather vanilla android install. So is multitasking while running an idle chroot. From my initial research, custom kernels and different clock settings can accomplish what I'm seeking.
Now here's the thing. I'm also interested in keeping the fantastic battery life that the stock rom and kernel has given me. I'm thinking that I want a rather lean ROM with over clock settings that are a bit more conservative, like It will try to stay at lower clocks when it can, but if a process is constantly pushing the tablet, give it a higher clock until load goes down. Similar to the on demand CPU governor in Linux. Is there a setup you guys would recommend that would give me what I'm looking for?
My boot loader is unlocked and my ROM rooted.

Hi, Helios747...
And welcome to XDA...
It is true... there is a a whole slew of kernels and ROMs to choose from... this is both 'a damn nusicance' and it is also 'a delightful wonder'.
But it also means, and there is no real easy way of saying this... you're going to have to experiment for yourself.
Nobody can really say what is best for you... except you.
---------------------
Look at your needs - how you will use your tablet; High Octane Video Games or Low Level Browsing (maybe with a bit of YouTube) - Sleek and Slim - or Fat with Features - or maybe some compromise betwixt the two..
... you obviously know a fair bit about Linux (more than me probably, given your chroot reference), so you're probably better placed than me to make certain choices.
---------------------
XDA moderators have an objection about threads/posts concerning 'best ROMs/kernels'... such debates lead to flame wars, so a specific thread has been created here...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2151963
Post here... and look here also... it's a great resource.

The best of luck to you... and hope you find something that works for you.
Rgrds,
Ged.

[Q] Oppo Find 5 - Which Kernel do you use?

Hi there,
I was unsure if I should ask this in the Oppo Forum or here, if I am in the wrong place just tell me!
As for my question: I just wanted to know what kernel other user owning the Find 5 and running Omni Rom are using.
I was kind of unable to find a fit when i searched in the Find 5 Forum in "Android Original Development" (this was the right forum right?). So I am happy about any reply. If you could drop a few words on why you use this very kernel, even more!
If I was just plain dumb/blind asking this question cause it was answerd a thousand times before - please give me directions, I really didn't find what I was looking for.

Every oppo find 5 kernel for 4.3/4 is a custom one since coloros is still at android 4.2
Which is what oppo shares on their github.
For 4.3/4 there are AFAIK only two kernels
-based on the omnirom one
-from cfxe http://www.oppoforums.com/threads/a...-y-codefirexperiment-nightlies-weeklies.5630/
Dont know about CM

Ok, thanks a bunch - that explains it. I concluded from your post that 4.3 kernels work on 4.4 too? Is that correct?
But i thought that there were only two major differences between kernels for the same device and the same
android version - sense and aosp. Your words were "the only ones based on omni rom..." does that mean there are more
differences i have to look out for? Sorry.. i really still am a noob when it comes to kernels and stuff.

Keep in mind that modified system configurations (such as changing the kernel) are NOT supported by Omni.
If you are running a kernel other than the included one, your configuration becomes invalid for any bug reports.

Thanks for the info - I did not know this..it might actually keep me from installing another kernel. It was just that i wanted to toy a little around wih it (after reading some more ^^) simply cause I have never done it before and wanted to experience firsthand how it can affect performance and battery life.

Many of the tweaks that people install custom kernels for can be simply achieved by altering the tuning settings of their existing kernel.
For example, those who really like battery life may wish to choose the conservative governor and set aggressive up/down thresholds. (up threshold 90 and down of 60 is what I use)

Yeah that's what I was looking for. Though i failed to realize that these options are provided ^^. It's kinda embarassing cause i only noticed
them when i wanted to switch apps with switchtr and pulled out the sliding bar by accident.
So yeah i had what i wanted all along .. Well anyways ... thanks for providing the settings you use. I'm gonna try them!

N00b to all this and looking for guidance!

HI guys. So I'm trying to configure my phone for the best performance / battery for userspace. IE Internet phone apps gui GPS etc. Not looking for gaming tweaks or any thing like that just a powerful user tool. I have it on rooted stock tmobile klte android mm I have susuper and xposed framework installed as well as rom tool box pro. I'm looking to make this thing a beast as it is with the rom toolbox settings tweaks and kernel. I tried a couple modded roms but wasn't to happy with the way I need to use my phone. I'm looking for help not criticism lol. Thanks in advance and I'll post any relevant logs or current settings if any one suggests.

Since you have xposed, I recommend using Firefds kit. It has quite a large number of touchwiz specific tweaks that will improve stock ROM experience.
As for performance, there isn't a whole lot other than using a custom kernel, but most kernels out there are only for the g900f. You can play around with Kernel Adiutor, especially the IO stuff that will improve transfer speeds.

I've been playing around abit with build prop and the other stuff. The build.prop stuff soft bricked me a couple of times so until I do more research on it I'm gonna leave it alone. As far as xposed I was actually thinking of uninstalling it because ROM Pro toolbox is working pretty good I like the results. I need to find out more tho because I was having an issue with calls being dropped after a lil over a min but did a recovery and it seems to be OK. I really would like some advice on how to tune rom toolbox settings to make this thing scream

LG Stylo 3 Plus build.prop tweaks

I found a post on here with a bunch of build.prop tweaks and I'm just wondering if anyone has tried any tweaks and if so which ones you all have gotten to work. Thank you

I have not personally heard of any that I can attest to anyone trying. I would just say to make a good backup and give them a try. I have used a couple on other devices regarding tcp tweaks, kernel panic, etc... I would recommend reading up on kernel and using kernel auditor from play store. or if you are using Magisk there are some good modules for automating some kernel tweaks. Hope you find what your looking for

That's what I was thinking of doing. Just playing around and seeing what happens. I have messed with kernel auditor a little, but not to much as I'm reading more up on it so I understand it better. I'm one of those perfectionist, so I eill read a ridiculous amount of info so I can "be perfect" Thanks for the suggestions. I appreciate you taking the time to answer.

Hey there. Just checking in. Have you had any luck with finding tweaks for your build.prop? Hopefully nothing fatal. I hate reloading .kdz file. always tons of input needed.

I am the proud owner of an LGMP450, rooted SU running stock Android 7.0 Nougat w/Xposed & TWRP installed. I have enabled init.d support successfully. I have ran a few tweak zips (universal mainly.. haven't found any device specific yet) and all have shown significant improvement to overall device performance. I am currently running StonedModV3 and am getting between 5 and 6 SOT respectfully. I have found that particular mod zip to be the most useful for my device in the sense it has noticeable performance increase without sacrificing battery life. There are tutorials online if you haven't enabled init.d yet. There is also another app here on xda that I've tried called SubCore. It too has shown significant performance improvements, but I haven't tried it yet on an unscripted set up. Some of the init.d zips you may find useful are StonedModV3, TweakZV6, and many others as they contain build prop scripts in them. I have tested these mentioned few and have had no issues. Give them a try and enjoy your devices new performance, but make sure to read up on them fully and how to recover if things go wrong. Happy modding my friends.
