[Q] ROMs using JustArchi's optimizations

Hello
I was wondering if there are any Nexus 4 ROMs using JustArchi's optimizations (link). I did my best to compile OmniROM with these fixes, but I am not very experienced with Android development.

+1 to this post

Looks like our devices are too fast to use these "insignificant" compiler optimizations
I'll give my 5 cents these days to try compiling it..
Cheers

+1 for this thread.. I asked just the same thing in the general Q&A thread and nobody answered.. I'd like to see CM, ParanoidAndroid...etc.. built with ArchiDroids optimizations..

Like to see that too!
I've been searching for a rom with f2fs support + JustArchi's optimizations. Can be possible?

I created a topic earlier here

i can tell from personal experiences, its mostly placebo, tried archi´s rom on my gs3, and aside from the fact that the google camera dosent crash after first shot(witch occors on alot of roms ,even official cm, again on my s3), the rom is same speed, if not less than official cm. (on my s3 i9300)

Nevertheless, there are other statements that say it is faster, we can only know for sure if we benchmark this and find someone willing to compile a rom. Perhaps @legolas93 is willing to be so kind?

yeah i saw those,luck for them, thats why best rom threads are not allowed on xda, people get different results on their devices ,i plan to compile aosp with those just to test on the n4, but i doubt i will :/

No one is going to try this anytime soon.
The code is no where near perfect and it sets up an environment where there is a lot of room for errors which will result in VERY bugy, glitchy, crashing Roms.
The code is really sloppy and so far only JustArchi is the only one that has successfully used this in a ROM with out error.
There is still a lot of going back and forth in whether this really works since android isn't 90% thumb
All this is good for is benchmark scores. Just like F2Fs its all placebo in real world performance.
With a quadcore 2 gig phone... You're not missing much.
Legecy devices will benefit in the least from this.

First build is ready!
It is mako-userdebug.
I used Linaro toolchain(JustArchi's link) and JustArchi "JustArchi's ArchiDroid Optimizations V3" - https://github.com/JustArchi/android_build/commit/d8cc50d2472e497b431b5652516c9248ad7f3947
It is without Gapps (so PA Gapps must be used).
Build Env :
Debian GNU/Linux testing (with make downgraded from 4.xx because AOSP lunch require this).
AOSPA soruces 4.4.2_r1 used for the build.
No ART patches! ART will fail if you try using it.
Will test this today on my phone, and if successfully boot, I'll post a link for the ROM.
p.s : From back these days, where people find that AMD64 arch is here, Linux builds started to optimize the speed of your GNU/Linux for your specific CPU (Gentoo for example, or Debian GNU/Linux moved from i386 to i686 and after that to AMD64). Well, the tests and builds performance charfs finished with this : improvement of the speed was was something like 0.6/0.9% ... So in the real world reality do not expect much from this!
Regards ...
Edit:1
Boot failed
Next time, I'll enable the proprietary drivers in the build.
Currently new build is running with enabled prop drives settings like:

To use these proprietary files, comment out this line in device/lge/mako/full_mako.mk:

[Q] [Nexus 7 2012 Wifi only] Kernel with nfs support for CarbonROM 4.4.2

Hello there,
I'm looking for a way to mount nfs shares of my NAS and (debian wheezy) server in the filesystem for access of my media files.
I thought for long that it would be the most natural thing to do for my (linux based) mobile devices in a linux server environment, but it seems I'm far off.
So far I have been unable to mount these nfs shares of mine to the Nexus 7 (grouper) device running a Carbon ROM 4.4.2 Nightly Build from march this year (CARBON...20140302-0433.zip) with CifsManager, most likely due to its lack of kernel support (version 3.1.10--g90cc2cb1 bigshotrob...).
May one of you recommend a kernel that supports nfs, cifs and utf-8 for this build? I restrain from updating it as it is running smoothly and without problems (Remember? Never change a...) and I don't like to invest much time for the reconfiguration and other related stuff.
I know there is M-Kernel (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2168787) out there that claims to have exactly the requested support and compliance to the CarbonROM series. But I'm unable to sort out what version of the kernel would match my build of the ROM.
I understand that the most actual release is for versions 4.4.4, but the changelog and >200 posts I've browsed do give no hint which release was compiled for 4.4.2 ROMs.
Please note, I would ask directly in that respective thread in the development section if I could, but owing to the (imho pretty stupid) 10 post restriction of newcomers I am unable to post there.
Edit: Not necessary anymore, got my postings ...
Accordingly, my second question would be, if someone with more than 10 posts would be so kind and ask the following questions for me in the given thread?
Namely:
What version of the kernel would fit my 4.4.2 CarbonROM Build and where could I obtain it?
Does anyone had success to mount nfs shares with it (or cifs, if not) ?
Edit end
That and any alternative ways/hints to get nfs going would be highly appreciated!
Thank you very much,
Nix

Simple. Give my kernel a shot. It uses an AnyKernel installer, which then works with both ext4/f2fs ROMs. If you don't want experimental dt2w/s2w, flash 1.6.1.

Thank you for the reply snuzzo,
would you mind to give some details where to learn more of its features and where to find it?
Then I'll have a look at it.
EDIT:
Thanks for the link! But exactly what version do I have download for my Carbon ROM build above, if I'd decide to use it that is?
Presumably .../kitkat/Funky...??
BTW, are there some feature lists or such things? I'll probably browse the forum a bit, I suppose?
Cheers, Nix

Anykernel Installer. You can flash it on either an ext4/f2fs rom for /data compatibility
Overclock with 1.3Ghz max default
Under/overvolt
IO Scheduler additions: SIO BFQ ROW
CPU Governor additions: Lazy Lagfree Scary Lulzactive Wheatley (could be few more but thats from memory)
DoubleTap2Wake/Sweep2Wake in 1.6.2, disabled in 1.6.1(experimental)
Kexec Hardboot for MultiRom
Dynamic Fsync Control
Stock Google 4.7GCC prebuilt toolchain.
CIFS.
Theres a few other tweaks I made for overall UI performance other than that it follows CM-11.0 source. I build these for my own personal use but upload to share them for those who want what I run. You will want 1.6.2 or 1.6.1.

Sounds great, although most of it are books with seven seals for me
What about nfs support? And its definitely for 4.4.2 based ROMs?
Thx again,
Nix

Yes to both. It has NFS and CIFS support.

And v.1.6 is the one you'd suggest?

One more question, please - do I have to activate or load those modules manually or will they be loaded at bootup by default?
Where may I find them to insmod/modprobe them manually, if not?
Thanks for the help once more,
Cheerio,
Nix

They will load by default.

[TOOL]TWRP-F2FS[M7UL]

This is a personal build of TWRP with F2FS support(proper way) based off 2.8.1.0 branch from Omnirom(recovery) which I butchered and added F2FS..
This was tested with CM11 way back last year..I just posted it for the heck of sharing it since I have not seen the same idea/achievement here on M7 forums..and seems this phone needs a "refresh"(in a good way)..
Now whats F2FS?? Googling can give you trivial INFO yet you can start your way here
This Files system developed by Samsung Developers lean towards a much less noisier, less workloads, and a faster throughput File System that can substitute EXT4 in the near future(they already use it)..extensively if you rely heavy on Benchmarks it has been put to the test by some Devs here on XDA like this one
Now enough with the chit-chat..on this TWRP build I only converted /DATA as F2FS..now you might be wondering why?? Answer is because its the most actively used partition on your phone..System apps use it to store settings/info/etc...Framework uses it too for caching and storage...Extensively your Apps(the ones you install) use it as well..so there completely no point converting the whole phone to F2FS which in the latter can just cause you more issues when you want to return to stock..
This only works on AOSP based ROMs(i tried it on CM11) though you'll need a kernel with F2FS support baked in for things to work properly.. (Who wants me to build one? I know for sure you don't..)
DO NOT TRY ON SENSE(You have been warned) Tried it once well it boots up but you'll end up on a security windows and you might not get out if it..OR you may be able to boot it up but you cannot install apps(happened to me twice and no Dice on installing anything)..well you're free to play with it so who knows who might get a lucky pick on getting this working on HTC Sense ROM's, but for now I'll safely say/advise to use on AOSP ROMS only..

[KERNEL] Coconut-Kernel (OOS-Oreo(5.x.x) (Pie test Kernel 9.0.3)

Coconut Kernel
Just a fancy name. Don't bother...
Please read the last post for pie kernel update.
Code:
***I'm not responsible for any problems that might occur flashing this kernel or what you do with the kernel support***
This kernel is only for stock Oxygen OS Oreo 5.x.x or any rom that supports stock kernel
This kernel was made for my own use as i could not find any working kernel with USB Wifi Adapter drivers supporting packet injection and monitor mode or simply Nethunter support.
I've been using ZaneZam's kernel for my nougat OOS. Since the Oreo version wasn't working for whatever reason, i tried to compile one my own.
My sole intention was to create a kernel with USB Wifi drivers and monitor mode/packet injection working. So this kernel doesn't have all those tweaks/options like other great kernels.
People who want upstreamed kernel with nethunter, drivedroid, android auto and stock features working can use this kernel on OOS Oreo.
Kernel has been upstreamed to 3.18.134(current)
Whats working?
- Stock features
- DriveDroid(CDROM Patch)
- USB Wifi adapters with monitor mode/packet injection
- AndroidAuto
Tested Working Wifi Adapters
1. TP Link WN-722N v1 (ath9271 chipset) - all ath9271 chipset should work
2. Alfa card AWUS036NHA (Atheros ath9271 Chipset)
3. Alfa card AWUS036NH (Ralink RT3070 Chipset)
Untested adapters
All adapters on nethunter support page have been added but not tested.
Installation
Download from attachment and flash the kernel zip file from recovery.
It is recommended to flash stock boot.img before flashing the zip.
Using USB Wifi Adapters
1. Reboot the device after flashing the zip
2. Goto Settings-->Advanced and turn on OTG Storage
3. Plugin your USB Wifi card and type ifconfig wlan1 up to test.
Keep in mind that OTG Storage turns off automatically after 10 mins on idle.
You don't need to insmod any modules as all drivers are built inline with the kernel.

Additional Note - I would like to mention that you can use tools like LinuxDeploy or other chroot supporting apps and the wifi adapters will work fine just like nethunter.
If you guys prefer ZaneZam's version, you can flash my kernel and then flash his kernel for oreo. Then everything will work on his kernel too. There is a small fix needed which will be applied on flashing my kernel.

Hi, I worked as beta tester for this kernel compilation and I must say is the best kernel ever for Oneplus3 I tried (in my opinion). All the standard functions are working flawlessly (wifi, camera, flashlight, etc...). No errors, no glitches. Gestures are working in order to enable camera or flashlight.
I tested the kernel also using Kali Nethunter, it works like a charm. I also installed a Linux using Linux Deploy app on which everything also was working fine.
Android Auto is fully working. Tested plugging it into real car (not emulators). Drive Droid is also working allowing to mount the drives without any problem. This is a feature that many custom kernels are not bearing in mind but for some people is an important stuff to be working. I use it every day.
And regarding the external usb cards. Yes, I tested it using a OTG (On-The-Go) cable. I can confirm that these two chipsets are working. In my case it was not a TP-Link card for Atheros chipset. I tested it using AWUS036NHA (Atheros ath9271 Chipset) Alfa wireless card and it worked very well supporting monitor mode, etc. I also tested it with another Alfa card AWUS036NH (Ralink RT3070 Chipset) and it worked fine too.
So congratz to de creator. This last month was a hard work. Good job. All the Oneplus3 users (like me) will be very grateful to you because of this.

I thought there was a version already available for LOS oreo.
Since i was wrong, i compiled one. You can find it in the following thread.

Pie version - maybe later

Did you check the oreo version? Or are you just waiting for the pie release?
For those who had this working can post here as a feedback.

very nice job! My TP-LINK WN722N is working just fine with nethunter!
Do you think it would be possible to add HID support to this kernel? To be able to execute HID/Bad USB attacks, that would be super cool!

u maybe can try to use one of my provided nethunter packs from here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=151160
which where done with this: https://github.com/zanezam/kali-nethunter and which has a little troubleshoot section in Readme at the end
for starting

Excellent kernel. Super performance and good battery life. I hope you make one for oxygen OS stock pie when it releases.

Didn't have one problem, aside from the horrendous Mtp-procedure install on this device(just got a Op3 recently).
Runs smooth, don't drain the battery like many Nethunter kernel from official side.
I hope this will expand in more then just a one-days development, because we need more of user who are beginning to programm etc.
I appreciate your effort and wanted to state that this kernel works without one single flaw whatsoever.. :silly:

Thanks for the appreciation. Btw, I've already posted a pie version of the kernel with nethunter support built from holydragon sources. But it's not for OOS. It's for AOSP based roms. I'll try to compile a pie version when the official OOS sources are available.

Got my hands on an Alfa AWUS 036 NEH last week, and I am happy to report that monitor and injection are working just fine.

Wireguard module for stock OOS 9.0.14/15?

Hello,
Can anyone suggest a reasonable method to get wireguard support into the stock OOS kernel? I had hoped I could extract the .ko file from a compatible custom rom (9.0.15's kernel is the same as 9.0.14's), but it seems everything is statically linked (I've done kernel work but not on android before).
I also looked into compiling OOS myself with just the wg tweak but got lost in gcc/clang/cross-compilation and gave up after a while. If there's some build automation someone could recommend I steal from that would be really helpful also.
Appreciate any tips!

If you are rooted, look around there are a couple of custom kernels with wiregaurd support
